Topspin off backspin
Strokes
Marcin Lonak Asked 9 years ago
Hello Pingskills
Is there a similarity between the technique for a slow spiny topspin and topspin of backspin?

Hi Marcin,
Yes very much so. They are the same stroke just the slow spinny topspin is a slow version of that done by brushing the ball finer.

Countering a Chop Block
The key is to countering a chop block is to ensure you wait for the ball as it comes through much slower compared to a normal block. You also need to lift the ball more than you would against a regular block.

Hijacking this thread to say that week 2 of the Pingskills training program which I did yesterday (focusing on this stroke) was great! :)
Thanks for the feedback Johan. I'm glad you enjoyed it and it helped you. Keep up the good work!
