topspin

We ran a small test to see what really happens during a topspin–block rally. Recorded everything in slow motion and measured the ball’s speed and spin at different points: after the topspin leaves the attacker’s racket just before reaching the blocker after the bounce after the block...

First I have to explain the two types of strokes and what I call them. The loop drive is the kind of shot that people do with a more closed angle, and they have to hit the ball sooner. And a topspin shot is when we let the ball drop after reaching its peak. So I've found out that I get less...

Hello, Ive been wondering on how to give crazy strong topspin (forehand of course) do you guys have any tips?

I am mainly focused on feeling my left leg when I finish my shots as a right-handed player, and when I'm doing a forehand drive, my arm is almost fixed, and I hit the ball with the power that goes into my left leg, and I can do it very fast, and the ball always lands on the other side, and some...

When performing a forehand topspin, I ultimately want to utilize my body to its full potential, as shown in the video below. Except for arm swings, use of the lower back, pelvis, and legs is visible. Trying to do all of this at once makes it more difficult and doesn't seem to work for me. So...

Hello table tennis experts! Used to be an office-table, low-intermediate player, just coming back and trying to properly learn. In a game (right handed vs right handed) yesterday, I came up against a player, who looped very heavy, BH topspin on both my FH/BH. At least, I remember trying to...

Hello guys, I made another video on chinese forehand loop. Check it out :)

Hello TTD!, First of all I want to thank you on feedback on my last video :) In this video I compared various arm positions in forehand topspin. My conclusion is that there is no wonder why chinese are so much strong in their attacking game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTuR4rzAPUE&t=1s

I was hoping for a little help on the correct / alternative techniques for placement or aiming with the forehand topspin. How does the action change between going cross court or down the line? I have heard a number of alternatives but can't figure it out. With thanks

Hello, Something is happening in the table tennis world regarding the backhand topspin. If you watch the video below for example, they are not performing even a single backhand topspin during the entire game. We can see all other strokes but it seems that the backhand topspin is missing from...

I just posted a new video on backhand counter topspin. I had a lot of requests for this and worked pretty hard to cover what I think are the main ideas. Please watch and share and SUBSCRIBE! https://youtu.be/Oubhh55_YoQ

Learning Incredible Hook Serve (Super Topspin) One of the most important things about serve: "Make all your serves into the same motion" . The opponent will be confused and you will gain the advantage to finish in the point the next shots! So we add " FAKE MOTION" in this video :) PS: Some...

I was recently advised by a coach to switch to a much slower blade after a multi ball session. He has coached several very good LP players like Åkerström so I didn't argue and went ahead and bought a Stiga Defensive Classic as he couldn't specify exactly what would be good for me. The effect on...

I noticed that one of my weak points is receiving a short right sidespin/topspin backhand serve short to my forehand. The serve is usually right sidespin with varying amount of topspin and from a right handed player. For me the easiest options so far has been to either go with the spin and get a...

Hello to everybody, This talk is for amateur players not for pros who have strong technical skills and they can handle any ball. I am trying to understand the benefits of a vertical topspin against a backspin ball because I am having a lot of problems to handle the return of it. The scenario...
