lachie ruscoe Asked 14 years ago
hey guys, im a quite a new player to the game but a pretty good player. I need to know some easy shots i should start off with and then gradually play more shots, i am good at side spin but have to work on topspin, side-spin and pace shots, please give me an idea of what shots i should try and learn.
(i love your video's)
thanks, lachie

Hi Lachie,
Start with the 4 basic strokes, The Forehand Counterhit, The Backhand Counterhit, Forehand Push and Backhand Push. After this learn the Forehand Topspin and then the Backhand Topspin.
With regards to the sidespin strokes, don't focus on these. Stick to the basics which will provide you with a much more consistent base to build upon.
