Hi Alois

When I do he slow spinny topspin, I am always afraid that my opponent will attack that ball but I am also not confident with my fast topspin because I am bad at reading the amount of backspin my opponent put on the ball and a fast topspin have only a small margin for error. Which topspin stroke do you recommend me to do and can you give me some tips on how to read the amount of spin that is on the ball?

Hi Yap,

The key with the slow topspin is to get good placement and variation each time you do it.  If you are in a better position and the ball is higher then you an make a faster topspin.

Reading spin only comes with a lot of playing.  The slower spin is better if you are not sure because it gives you a bigger margin for error over the net.
