Hi,

I was wondering if theres a differences between left handed topspins and slices against right handed players.

and is there a way to return back quickly a topspin drop shot on their serve. It's been difficult to me, plus the people get aces on that or it hits the net.

thankyou

Hi darius,

There isn't a lot of difference between the strokes of left and right handers.  As an interesting thought, it is often said that left handers tend to put more sidespin on their topspins naturally but I don't know if this is just something that has been proven in any way.

For the topspin dropshot, try using the Forehand Flick to make an attacking stroke.
