Light or heavy racket or the stroke
Strokes
jimmy neuron Asked 13 years ago
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....

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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
