Recovery after topspin against backspin
Strokes
Bennett Burke Asked 14 years ago
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.

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.
