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.

Banana Flick

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
