Unexpected shots
Strokes
Dick Wittingson Asked 10 years ago
Hey Pingskills, I've recently been playing someone at my school and he seems to be unbeatable. Every shot I send his way, he continues to get it. Are there any ways of giving him a trick shot he won't be used to?

Hi Vandan,
Rather than trick shots try to work on your topspin strokes. If you can develop these it will make it more difficult to get your shots back.
Take aloof at the Strokes & Techniques page for some lessons on the different topspin strokes.
