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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
