How can I attack long underspin with fast topspin?

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.

In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
