I am currently using a bit heavy racket and I really want to be offensive player. But it is very hard to lift the backspinning ball. I want to give it a lot of topspin to it as well. I am wondering whether i'd better use lighter racket....
Light or heavy racket or the stroke
Strokes

Hi Jimmy,
A lighter bat is just a matter of preference. You can lift a heavy backspin with either a heavy or light bat.
I would rather think about your technique of the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin that you can see as part of our lessons.
