How to play a backhand topspin against topspin when the ball is pretty low (lower then the ball level)? Should i have opened or closed of my bat? Should I have fast follow through and does my stroke need to be more vertical or horizontal?

Hi Dario,

You need to have a more vertical stroke if the ball is lower.  You can brush the ball very fast to generate lots of topspin to get it up and down quickly.

Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Topspin to Topspin.
