Edgar Giffenig Tennis - Effective Instruction

Learning to use different spins is what separates the better players from the rest, especially top spin. Top spin allows advanced players to control the ball at high speeds and that is the secret of the pros. In this video I will explain exactly what topspin is and help you to understand how to generate it successfully.

Thanks, Edgar. It's interesting that for this topspin swing that you're not emphasizing swinging along the target line but more under and around the target line.

You should record the audio on a lapel mic.

it actually is, but I gues not very good

I checked recent videos and it sounds like the lapel mic wasn't working in this one. In general you should mute the camera mic when you edit the video. Both the lapel mic and camera mic is being played so you get that bad echo sound. Just a suggestion. I enjoy your videos.

I usually film outdoors and had not had to deal with the echo. I will keep playing around with it. Thank you!

Brushing the ball is wrong. In order to produce spin on the ball, the point of impact must be off center. It has to be struck, not BRUSHED, in order to generate spin rather than a slow rotation. This point of impact depends on a variety of factors, such as the ball's bounce and whether it is descending or rising, and if you are going for a topspin shot, a flatter shot, a lob, or a slice, etc. The actual contact between the racket and ball lasts for roughly a photo flash, which is instantaneous. Hence why the ball cannot be "brushed," "turned over," or "rolled over." The ball can only be struck or deflected, and nothing else.

You are right, the impact does not last enough to brush the ball but it is a good visual. As far as the contact point, I disagree with you. You should basically hit the middle of the racquet regardless of the type of shot.

EdgarGiffenig I am confident that any person, even a young child, would be able to know the difference between "striking" and "brushing" the ball. As for my "off center" phrase, which may have caused some confusion, what I meant was that impact should be above or below the ball's center of mass in order to produce topspin or backspin.

Brushing or the "windshield wiper" the ball is correct. Can you impart top spin on a ball with a completely flat faced wooden bat by just hitting the top of the ball? The ball will just land below the net. You cannot impart top spin on a ball without using the raquet strings which to an extent will grasp the ball and impart the spin by brushing low to high. The word brushing is also relative. You cannot really brush a fast moving ball as the moment of impact is very quick. You can however brush or perform the windshield wiping action for a slow moving ball.

it is rare to find anyone that actually understands how topspin is generated and yes it is all about the center of gravity but also the angle of attack and the direction the ball is traveling before it is struck. On a rising ball the pros can really drive it by hitting above the center of the ball in a fairly flat swing but still generate solid top spin. Club players like me usually hit the ball while it is dropping so it is not possible to drive it the same way.
