Recovery after topspin against backspin
Strokes
Bennett Burke Asked 13 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.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
