Strokes
A few of the great defenders like Huo Ying Chao sometimes play a loop back from the table that is almost pure side spin. Have you ever used this stroke?
Hi Dale,
The sidespin topspin can be effective but it is also a more risky stroke than the straight topspin.
When it comes from a defender the sidespin can add some difficulty along with coping with the change from the backspin.
We have a video on this stroke in our Advanced Strokes section on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.
The forehand smash is used when the ball is around shoulder height or above. It is a much harder stroke to play than it looks. Follow the tips on this video lesson to ensure your smash is an effective weapon.
