Hi Alois,

1. Can u tell me when we do more vertical stroke and when we do a more forward stroke in performing a topspin stroke ?

2. Would you also show me the angle of the bat regarding my questions in number 1 ?

Thanks

Hi Ernest,

To get more speed you can swing more forward and for a slower spinner topspin you can swing more vertically.

We do have a Premium Ask the coach video response to this. Forehand Topspin Bat Angle which will talk about the angle that you require and how to get it right.
