Trouble with topspin?

-Here’s a simple and effective way to deal with it.

PROBLEM
You have difficulty applying topspin to the ball because you instinctively swing from high to low. It’s particularly common with beginners who equate the motion with hitting a baseball. The resulting shots are slices or flat balls that you have little control over.

For some players, it’s natural to swing from high to low (from shoulder to knee). As a result they can’t apply topspin to their shots.

SOLUTION
To introduce the concept of swinging from low to high, I’ve had success using my old racquet the aluminum one. Stand in front of the court net about half of your raquet length with your racquet back, holding that position. Have someone face while gripping your racquet firmly by the handle. Now swing the racquet and brush up on with the net take note that always bend your knees when swinging your raquet. If the motion is too level or high-to-low, your raquet will get stuck in the top of the net. But when your swing along the net surface to continue your follow through you’ve got the proper swinging motion needed to apply topspin to the ball. You’ll also improve your extension and follow through. It’s a great way to “clean up” a messy topspin stroke....

**if you can build a structure like this one, you can practice your stroke at home.... good luck with your killer top spin.
