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.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
