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.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
