In general, what would you say that is a good timing when performing topspin shots? This is with regard to the backswing and the transition to the forward swing and finish position. Usually I think one should already be done with the recovery and swinging forward when the ball bounces on your own half of the table, as a guideline.
In addition, once you start your backswing I believe there should be no pause when making the transition to the forward movement? It should be a fluid motion from the backswing to the forward and finish position. Especially important when trying a backhand topspin but I guess, on forehand too?
I tried not to involve leg movement and taking the ball on top of the bounce etc., to not complicate this question too much. I am looking for thoughts on timing of the recovery, backswing, forward stroke and finish position. I read some nice articles about this, but cannot find them anymore. I believe thoughts from forum members is even a better source If you got links to some videos or articles that go in depth on the timing, that is interesting too.
I think that quite often this happens naturally if you follow the ball path, but knowing about the details is nice.
