I have been labeled as a table tennis pro now for 3 years, i have played in world wide tournaments, i have never won, but i have won states 5x. I found these videos to be the BEST free videos on the internet. I highly recommend these videos to new players, and experienced players alike .

After speaking with Jim, for this shot you hit the ball in the centre of the blade. Important to consider if you want to create topspin is the part of the ball you hit and this should be the top third of the ball and not the back of the ball and thats why Jim discusses in the videos closing the angle of the bat slightly; the position of the elbow should also be a little lower towards the body which bends the wrist and the wrist should always be used when top spinning. Hope this helps.

which part of the paddle do you use for topspin? which side is the best?
