When the ball hits the paddle
Strokes
Samuel Unknown Asked 17 years ago
I was watching your videos on lessons of topspin, using the backhand and forehand and I was asking myself that if wanted to make a good stroke using both hands were exactly should the ball hit the paddle, is it in the center or is it a little bit on the edges, if you could answer me that question I'll be thankful.

Hi Samuel,
To get better lift, try to get the contact a little more to the top of the bat. For more speed contact the ball in the centre of the bat.
Start though by getting the ball to contact in the centre of the bat and work on from there.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
