Topspin

Luis Unknown Asked 15 years ago

I'm having trouble with my topspin. I either hit the ball and it passes the table of the other side or i miss the ball.. I use a pre-made bat (Butterfly Yuki-An) and when I bought it, it said

speed: 100   spin:100   control:90 but I'm still having trouble with the topspin.

Another thing, how can you make topspin when the ball is going to bounce twice on your side??

I hope I can get some help from you cuz I've seen those videos and both of you are really great

Thanks,

Hi Luis,

The Butterfly Yuki will give you enough spin to be bale to play a reasonable topspin.  It is a very good pre-made bat.

With your stroke think about the stroke in 2 parts to start with.  First think about contacting the ball like you would with a counterhit and then think about finishing your stroke in the correct position with your bat u near your right eyebrow.

Do this for a while and then think about getting the stroke smoother again.

It is difficult to make a topspin when the ball is going to bounce twice.  It is better to attempt a flick stroke here or if the ball hassome backspin, try a push.
