Recovery after topspin against backspin

Strokes

After hitting a topspin shot against backspin, I'm usually up close on the table.  If my opponent gets a good block on the ball they can usually win the point.  Any tips on how to quickly recover after that shot.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,

Try staying more relaxed and having a shorter stroke.  This will allow you to recover more quickly.

If you play a slower spinny topspin it will allow you more time before the ball comes back as well.

The forehand block is one way to counter a topspin stroke hit to your forehand side. Learn this stroke and you will be able to keep yourself in the rally even when your opponent get the first attack in.
