Topspin flying off table

Basel Assad Asked 12 years ago

hi pingskills,

i have been practicing my forehand topspin and it has become really good. but i have a problem, when i'm doing a forehand topspin rally, i try to return with a topspin so as to not brake the momentum but when i return with a topspin around the fifth ball, the ball usually flies off the table. my question is that am i brushing less and hitting more or shud i put in more strength and brush less cuz usually i go far from the table. thanx for the help.

Hi Basel,

It is a matter of recognising the amount of spin on the ball.  Then you have to adjust each of your shots to allow for the changes in the spin.

If you put a lot of topspin on your stroke you will have a better margin of error over the net.

Take a look at our lesson on Topspin to Topspin.
