Sidespin Topspins

Strokes

Jonathan Huynh Asked 13 years ago

how do you can you deal with hook and fade loops/topspins?

Hi Jonathan,

Take a look at our lesson on these strokes, Sidespin Forehand Topspin. This will also show you how to counter them. I thin one of the best ways is to do a sidespin topspin back.

This naturally counters the spin on the ball. You can also topspin them straight by brushing the top of the ball fast. This will get the ball rotating straight forwards.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
