Bradey Crust Asked 10 years ago
So i was playing against someone and all they did was play defensive backspin and i use a lot of topspin but i know topspin does not go well against backspin what should i do instead?

Hi Bradey,
You should keep trying to topspin the ball. It is the most effective way to combat defensive players.
Take a look at the lesson on Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. This is an important stroke to master.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
