Impossible Backhand Topspin Made Possible
Strokes
Romeo Chua Asked 9 years ago
Ever since I've started playing, my coach has always told me to take dead balls on the rise, topspin balls on the peak, and backspin balls on the fall. Recently, I have seen Ma Long do a backhand topspin off backspin shot on the rise. This has been really effective. I noticed Wang Hao did it as well. How do they make the shot?

Hi Romeo,
They have a very fast racket head speed which helps them to lift that backspin ball over the net. It is a difficult stroke to make but as you have seen, for these brilliant players make a lot look easy.

Taking a backspin ball on fall?
if you are pushing,it would be quite difficult to keep low.
If you are looping,taking a backspin on fall is a double edged sword-
You are getting an enormous amount of spin,but you are losing a bit of speed maybe...and of course you must lift the ball a lot more.
In my team,there is a player who can rise any teammate's backspin FROM UNDER THE TABLE.
In fact,I would like to see him in clash of the top choppers.
Once he looped my chop 30 cm under the table.
