Fundamentals of Tennis: Spins

[maruppharm]

Topspin – this is applied by hitting the ball from low to high

Slice – backspin or underspin shots are the reverse of topspin and are created by hitting the ball from high to low

Lob – this is a shot that is hoisted high up in the air over a player at net. It is also sometimes used to disrupt the rhythm of a baseline rally. It is hit by opening up the racket face before contact and following through upward.

Drop shot – this is an underspin shot that lands short over the net and is meant to make an opponent who is at the baseline try to scramble forward. It is hit like a slice but much more softly.
