Table tennis half long ball - Effective backhand & forehand topspin off a backspin ball

Executing a good topspin off a backspin ball!
Aim to topspin off a long backspin ball at the earliest opportunity during a point to put your opponents under immediate pressure and to put them on the back foot.
Focusing on:
1. Lightly brushing the ball to overcome the backspin whilst emphasising wrist movement to generate extra spin and produce a food quality stroke
2. Correct stance for the desired shot. Legs must come down extremely low to generate more power and to aid in quicker recovery. Exaggerated bending of the legs also enables us to stay forward and keep low at the point of contact
3. Timing point for these strokes are executed at top of the bounce or just after top of the bounce depending on where the ball bounces on the table. Half long balls can be taken just after top of the bounce.
Bonus tip - Always aim to generate spin rather than power to minimise unforced errors and to give yourself more time for the follow-up shot.

Good video to remind us all how to do it right! Hope all going well where you are. Here in North Carolina in the States we are doing better. Started playing others in table tennis again. Covid seems mostly under control. Here in NC we still need gasoline though - LOL.

I do this drill with a robot. But I combine it with a short, and then a half long fh/bh topspin.
