Hi Alois,
Offten against my dad when he chops, I make one topspin and the next one I hit it into the net! And he's a player with S.P.
Thanks,
Ian.

Hi Ian,
Often when you topspin the first ball the next one will come back heavier. Because the ball is already rotating in that direction, it is easier for then to make the ball spin with backspin.
Just use a more vertical stroke on the second topspin or push the second ball and wait for a better opportunity to make a strong attack.

Tactical Planning
Spin, speed and placement are the 3 things you need to focus on when coming up with your tactics against each of your opponents. Start with the serve and your third ball attack. Figure out what type of serve your opponent finds most difficult. Find out where is the best place to direct your first attack. Is your opponent better at blocking with their backhand or forehand? Does your opponent prefer a faster topspin or a slow spinny topspin? Do the same for your returns.
