How can I attack long underspin with fast topspin?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Byron,
To make a faster topspin against the backspin ball you need to make your stroke faster. As long as you have the technique correct of the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin then you can speed up the stroke to make the ball go faster. You don't need to change the technique too much on the faster stroke.
First though make sure that you can hit the slower stroke well.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
