Hi!

I'm having some trouble topspinning the ball over the table.

Opponents is backspinning the ball and it always seem to bounce two times on the table but it goes just outside, and I can't play topspin. 

Please help me play topspin on short balls.

Thank you!!

Hi Christian,

Try to let the ball drop off the table and then play a more vertical stroke on the ball.  This will be a little easier.  It takes a lot of time to get the judgement right in dealing with these type of balls.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
