Spin vs Flat — what’s the real difference? 🎾 For topspin, you brush from low to high, letting the racquet drop to knee level before accelerating up the back of the ball.

Even my “flat” forehand still has a bit of spin — that’s what keeps the ball controlled and inside the court. This video shows the extremes, but the key is learning to adjust your spin depending on the situation. T
