| 'A topspin groundstroke allows you to hit the ball
higher over the net. And yet, due to the physics of the spin, the ball will drop in and not go out. It keeps your opponent
back further in the court.' Bill Van Keuren, USPTR certified instructor and Director of Tennis at Eddie Farm Inn & Sports
Resort. |

Steps: |
| 1. |
Hold the racquet with your normal grip, but the more extreme topspins work
best with the semi-western or western grip. |
| |
| 2. |
Take the racquet back and drop its head down. |
| |
| 3. |
Hit the topspin with either an open or closed stance. |
| |
| 4. |
Hit up on the ball finishing high, and out over the opposite shoulder, moving
the racquet from low to high. |

 |
Tips: |
 |
Visualize 'brushing up' on the ball as you hit it. The spin is
caused by the angle of the stroke. |
| |
|
Buying a good rough string or a custom hybrid stringing can enhance
the ability to hit the ball with spin. | |
