Play against a consistent looper
Strokes
Rama Camatchee Asked 10 years ago
Dear Coach,
My topspin has become more effective on the second / third ball over backspin.
However, then comes the rally and against very consistent players I simply lose the point.
Is it recommended to topspin during a rally on fast paced balls (little topspin but long).
Regards
Rama

Hi Rama,
In general most shots during the rally are better with topspin. It is a safer way to play and you can still generate a lot of speed.
Even if you are struggling for time in the rally, play with a little topspin rather than trying to hit the ball fast.
