Return on deep loops
Strokes
Vidhya G Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois/Jeff,
Hope you both are doing great.
There are players who play continuous deep loops (they say they are playing top spin, but its more of a loop according to me. They hit it from the bottom and also from a distance),
I am able to return but I am not effective. I can just return and it becomes easy for them to return back. I tried returning it hard, but was not successful. Due to the spin, the ball just flies off or goes to the net. Can you please let me know how to handle this. Also, if you could point me to a video, I would be more grateful.
Regards
Vidhya

Hi Vidhya,
They can be an awkward ball to return. One of the keys is to make sure you are at a good distance from the ball to hit the stroke well.
Take a look at our lesson on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.
