The ghost spin

Adnan Bilbaisi Asked 11 years ago

I am a backhand player... How could I make the ghost spin and a powerful backspin ?

Hi Adnan,

To get the ghost spin or a heavy backspin on the ball you need to brush it right at the bottom and finely.  The next thing is to not get too much forward momentum so that the ball can stop easily and come back to you.  Giving the ball a bit of height helps with this as well.  Take a look at our lesson on How to Execute the Ma Lin Serve.
