Topspin contact
Strokes
Constantine Kalmykov Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois
I've got a mistake, playing my forehand topspin. My mistake is: If you can imagine a really big wheel, it is my trajectory of movement. So my topspin has very low spin. And that's why I had to spent a lot of force to make this spin. And the question is:
What can I do myself to fix this mistake? For example, I'm going to buy myself a corresponding training wheel to practice alone.

Hi Constantine,
The wheel will help. You don't need to go to any great expense with a wheel. Just get an old CD and use it to practice your contact. Put a pen though the hole in the middle of the CD and then try to spin it around with your bat. This will give you the correct contact.
When you are training look at the amount of dip you are getting on the ball. See if you can watch the flight of the ball and watch to see how mush the ball is dipping when it goes over the net. The more dip the better the contact is.
