Topspining a smash

Ali Zarei Asked 11 years ago

Hi Alois. I saw one of the Zhang Jike's games and when Ma Long smash the ball to him he topspined the ball. It's to difficult. Can you give me some advice?

Hi Ali,

This is an advanced skill to be able to time the ball well and react fast enough to make this stroke.  Focus more on the basics than trying to make these sorts of strokes.
