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.

Hijacking this thread to say that week 2 of the Pingskills training program which I did yesterday (focusing on this stroke) was great! :)
