Old blade new Mark V rubber for topspin

Red Guts Asked 12 years ago

Hi,

I learnt tt in KungFu tt racket and later bought a racket called Shanghai and I paly forehand rally very well.

Eventually the grip became dead and I removed it. I bought a set of Mark V rubbers and pasted in both the sides recently.

I could not play topspin against backspin. I tried a lot for months now but either I hit in net or out of the table.

Few of my friends says that we should not get the hitting sound from bat when we play for topspin. it should be smooth.

How do i learn that.

Hi,

See if you can copy the stroke we show you in the lesson on Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.  If you get the start and especially the finish positions correct you will start to get the ball on the table.  The Mark V rubber will be good enough to do this.
