Is it possible?

Hi Alois,

I got a problem....if the ball is 3/4 below the net,is it possible to loop it very fast?

Hi Martin,

Yes you can topspin this ball fast. It is about generating enough topspin on the ball to get it up and down quickly.

Take a look at the Lessons on the Forehand topspin to make sure you have the basics right. To generate more speed get yor bat to move more forward than up.

Kick Serve

We show you the effective Kick serve. You will find your opponent making some simple errors if you can get the ball to kick up on them. An important tip to remember is that you want the ball to bounce close to you, be low over the net, and bounce as deep as possible on your opponent's side.

Hi Alois,i mean 3/4 below the net.So,is it still possible?

To get more speed your swing needs to be more horizontal. You can still generate good spin on this by brushing the top of the ball fast. So swing your arm fast through the normal swing but brush the top of the ball to generate the spin. A rubber with a tacky surface will help to make this stroke.
