Place to play forehand topspin
Strokes
Andre Panesa Asked 11 years ago
I’ve got my forehand topspin swing down and I am able to generate a lot of topspin yet I still can't get the ball on the table! does the position where you play the forehand topspin matter and where you would play it? Every offense player in my club almost always plays a topspin in the middle of the table and I usually have my legs almost under the table and my hips a few inches away. Should I practise generating more spin or change my position?

Hi Andre,
Still work on generating the spin on the table but you may want to try hitting the ball from a little higher. Sound like you are letting the ball drop quite low.

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.
