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.
