what will happen if I use it against a block?


Alois Rosario

Hi Joshnathan,

Against a block you don't need to lift the ball as much so you can make the stroke more horizontal.  Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Against Block.

Jonathan Huynh

Jonathan Huynh Posted 12 years ago

Would puting a woodenn board against the table be a good way to practice? I've tried that and it does create a lot of backspin when i topspin the ball


Collin Hill

Collin Hill Posted 12 years ago

What about the bat angle on this stroke? Should it be flat or a little closed?


Marksman Brian

Hi Alois,

With a basic bat non-customized bat from GKI I can fairly do a forehand topsin off a backspin. But with my new customized bat (Donic sonex jp gold and GKI  Euro jumbo rubbers) I am not able to control the shot. The ball just doesn't stick to the bat. With the basic bat I can feel the ball sticking on to the bat. The new bat is too fast for me and I am not able to impart spin.

Do you suggest that I get back to my old bat?

Thanks,

Amith

Is it possible to counter a topspin with a backspin chop?


ahmed khattab

ahmed khattab Posted 11 years ago

it's clear that is easy against light backspin but what about too much heavy backspin?


Ardak .

Ardak . Posted 11 years ago

Hi, Coaches!

I can do only slow topspin against backspin. (finally) I have learned it a week ago.  Is it true technique to learn slow topspin and trying to add speed on it? Or the technique of fast topspin is very different? Thank you.

is this perhaps the toughest stroke to master?


Drew Mainprize

Drew Mainprize Posted 11 years ago

Hi Alois,

When I use the forehand topspin the ball will have a lot of topspin but that won't kick in until te ball is about a foot off the end of the table. I've tried slowing down the stroke but that will allow for an easy return (which I'm pretty isn't the point of the stroke) and when I try to brush the ball more it helps a little bit but not enough to keep it on the table when I speed it up. I'm trying to get my forehand topspin strong so I am confident to use it whenever I feel the need to in a rally.

How does this differ from hitting a loop? The angle and length of the stroke looks the same to me. What am I missing?

Very nice. Jeff's elbow is bent, shouldn't it be straight down elbow and forehand in one line? Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

When I make contact nicely I play this shot great, but often, it flies off the top of my bat. Do you know why that happens and how should I improve?

Thanks!

Hi Alois and Jeff,

Thank you for a very nice video.

It's really useful the stroke is filmed from a lot of different angles and in slow motion.

Bryan Pablo

Good day, is there a need for using your wrist to generate more spin upon ball contact?

eugene lu Posted 9 years ago

Hi pingskills,

In this video you taught me to come more upwards, but my coach wants me to come forwards with more power. How do I do that? Every time I have my bat coming forwards, I will hit the net. My coach say it's possible, but how

Dinesh Awtaney

Dinesh Awtaney Posted 8 years ago

Dear Alios and Jeff, Can you please elaborate the brushing angles for top spin attack and loop , I am considerably good at forehand drives, request you to give some more simple tips on brushing angles to get accuracy on consistent top spin against back spin even I am still struggling to hit no spin attack with back spin , I want to forget my old wrong methods and wish to start from fresh to learn good top spin


Hemang Dialani

Hemang Dialani Posted 7 years ago

Hi Alois, how are you? I am practising back hand against full back spin using an iPong robot. I watched the Pingskills video on this and it was very good. I can now get a nice whip on the ball with my backhand like Jeff does but I think that I am pointing the bat down to the ground and to get that lovely whipping action I think I am going back between my legs like every action needs an equal and opposite reaction or something like that from my school days. To create a fast whip forward I have to go back. Which you don’t say to do in your video. Is this right? I think the whipping action comes from turning over my wrist it started vertical pointing down and then finishes out palm up. 
( I find I need to be back quite far from the table doing this shot. Maybe it’s just the way I have to set up the robot which is actually off the table to get the ball to actually land on my side. It is hitting on the diagonal to get the best chance to hit the table and so I am off to the opposite diagonal. At the very edge of the table. It’s a very delicate finicky set up to get the robot to hit the balls on the table around 50% of the time)
