wow thats alot of topspin!!! western grip?

[topspintennis]

@mozo25, yes, and some semi western as well.

[sullmister]

its a good drill because of the fact that your teaching them from such a young age to brush up on the ball creating topspin which is vital at a young age

[topspintennis]

@sullmister, correct. The drill really teaches them how to wait and "absorb" the ball. A technique that is used often in the Modern Game.

I'd love to try this drill, but I just started and my attempts at top spin result in straight down to the ground or the net. :(

[topspintennis]

@andrewpmast, if they are going into the ground you need to focus on "throwing" the top edge of your racquet to the sky. Get more vertical with your shot. Don't be afraid of heights, the Modern Game is a "vertical" game.

you didn't really answer the question. on your follow through you're not going over your shoulder. even though you say you are. none offense what so ever though. that topspin is just nasty so it's obviously working.

what about bending knees???

[jamiester71]

hey your follow through is incorrect!!

[MrTennisMenace]

Looks like a good drill for topspin

[MrJamie1410]

@andrewpmast that's cool I'm the same. When it works it works well. When it doesn't work i usually hit it long constantly.

[andrewpmast]

@topspintennis Thanks for following up. I have this mental "low to high" mindset and if I'm standing firm and hit the ball centered, it dives over and lands right on the baseline. I really like the top spin. I have a few good player friends telling me to slow down and not try to hit like a pro but rather start simple. I don't know, I just feel like there's nothing wrong with learning top spin right away. Maybe I'm impatient, but I just enjoy the feeling more than just a flat swing.

@MrJamie1410 Thanks, yea, I learned the 'windshield wiper' forehand and it's much better. I have to fine-tune it, some hit the net, some go over nice, many go deep and hit the back, and some go sky-rocketing out of the court, LOL
