Hi coach,

If the player has hitting style as his/her main style (fast drive and smash), would he/she still need to learn topspin stroke? Thank you. 

Regards,

Ryan

Hi Riyanto,

The topspin is very important for all players.  Even when you are hitting the ball faster and flatter it is important to be able to put some topspin on the ball to gain some consistency.

The adjustment is only small with your bat finishing a little higher and above your eyes.
