Hi, Pingskills. Here is my question. If my opponent do a topspin stroke to me and I am far from table. Then, how to do a long topspin stroke to my opponent?

Thanks!

Hi Elvin,

Follow the same principles as you see in our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Against Block.  When you are further away from the table you have more time so you can just make the stroke longer.  Start slightly further back and finish further forward.  This will also give you more power.
