Hi Alois and Jeff,

the bh top spin as you explain it is quite clear for me.

could it be that some top players, because they bent forward, look like they make a stroke forward, but in fact is the same thing in relation to the upper body?

thanks

Hi Marcin,

If they are bent forward the bat will travel in a different path, but the path of the bat is the thing that really matters.

So if they are bent over and the bat is travelling more forward and brushing over the top of the ball, they need to generate more speed with the racket to get the ball over the net.

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.
