What's logically better in tennis, the Backspin or the Topspin?

Topspin it goes it more often than backspin because backspin in wind can get caught in the wind more easy. Topspin in harder to hit long because the hit causes it to go towards the ground. backspin is harder to get a more consistant shot it's great if the player is playing back cause it can be a easy drop shot. topspin also make the ball jump (as in it goes jump) making it hard to return. this causes the player to have to play back which means they wouldn't play net as much and if the opposite player is playing more net they are more likely to win the point which adds up. so topspin is definatly and logically a better shot than backspin. take it from a pro and coach.

unless you're an expert, for most shots hit the cue ball in the center following the line you want it to go.  \n\nbeyond that, you can practice hitting it lower down to generate backspin for setting up additional shots. \n\n i've never found a need to create spin by hitting on the sides, but of course great players can do this to excellent effect.

The first and second serves are fundamentally different.  A first serve is an aggressive serve you hit to try either for an ouright winner or at least a weak return.  The second serve should be a defensive serve you know will go in that minimizes the chance your opponent will hit a return winner.  Most pro's hit a hard first serve, either flat or a slice, then for a second serve they hit either a kick or a twist because the top spin makes sure it goes in and the high bounce makes it tough to hit an aggressive return on.  You definitely don't want to double fault and give away free points.\n\nThe trick to getting your second serve solid is to 1. pick which serve you're going to use and 2. hit nothing but second serves everytime you play, until you can hit the second serve with 100% guarantee it's going to go in.  Once you have it down, go back to your usual 1st serve/ 2nd serve strategy.  You'll no longer feel shaky on your second serve because you'll know for sure you can put it in the service box.  This will also free you up on your first serve to really go for it, since you don't have to worry about double faults.

Look at the pros and cons of doing either one and choose which one you'd be happier doing.\n\nI say Volleyball.

It depends if you are hitting alot of topspin on the ball it will most likely go over but if you hit alot of back spin on the ball it will bounce on your side if you hit it flat it depends on how hard you hit the ball

backsetting over is a good way to fool the other team. even tho ormaly you would back set to the hitter to confuse there blockers as to what side ti will be spiked from.\n*get lower than u normaly would\n*set up with your feet planted straight and your body turned\n*put you fingers out like u normaly would\n*try to "pop" the ball backwarsd bending your back

raquet would be the original English spelling, racket is the American twist on it. But, both are acceptable.

just like it sounds baby!  have you ever put "english" on a tennis ball or a pool ball?  You hit is in a certain area to make it spin. \nPool - the ball gets hit near the bottom to make it spin back toward you.  The side spin serve in VB makes the ball curve thru the air so it looks like one person should receive it and then it either lands in between players or goes to an entirely different player.  you need to practice it!  hit it on the right side (if you are right handed) and stand toward the right of the court. Do the opposite if you are left handed.

How long is a piece of string?\nHow good is 'really good'?\nDepends on so many factors: your athletic ability, your coach, your determination, your talent, your self-discipline, etc. \nAs a teaching professional, I am able to get most complete beginner rallying balls baseline to baseline in the first half hour. Thereafter, it is just automising the swing and making them more powerful. Tennis is a simple sport: the ball weighs only a few ounces and the court is very big, so in theory, it is not brain surgery. But realise that it takes years and years of concerted practise to make a backhand into an excellent backhand.

This question actually has two answers based on your point of view.  1. Legs do contribute to making topspin by allowing me to get in optimal hitting position.  This means I am the right distance from the ball and can generate more leverage and spin on the stroke.  Just getting down to the ball makes it easier to create topspin.  2. Do the legs actually help me create more racket head speed through the stroke resulting in more revolutions, not really...maybe indirectly.  There is no direct evidence that a player with stronger legs can generate more topspin than someone with an average build.  So essentially my answer comes down to a matter of perspective.

Well, hard court is the in-between and it's the standard that most tennis players are usually judged on. Grass is the fastest, especially at Wimbledon with how finely packed the grass is. Clay is the softest/slowest and is better for defensive players that lack power. That's why Roddick sucks on clay but is formiddable on grass and hard court because of his excellent serve. Nadal is the king of clay because no matter how hard a ball is hit, he can catch up to it and return it well while mastering the baseline.

When I hit topspin I try to come in fairly level to the ball but always finish rather high wrapping the stroke around my shoulder.  If I hit topspin by coming in too low at first I wind up hitting a loopy topspin shot that has plenty of spin but lacks pace.  This is not always bad, as I sometimes employ this tactic while playing defensively to stay in a point.  Loopy deep topspin shots can force your opponent off the baseline giving you a chance to retake the point.

I personally like the O3 Tour over any of the other O3's. It's a player racquet - control but if you would prefer power you should get the O3 White

it is there style of play. clay bounces high and slowly, which suits nadal because he plays with loads of topspin so the ball kicks up even higher on clay. also clay is a slow surface, so the points are longer, which he loves because his fitness is so good. federer is so good on grass because the ball stays low, which helps his one handed backhand. also the ball skids low so when he hits a slice its very difficult to deal with. grass is also a fast service so federers medium speed serve and big forehand are very effective. nadal has less power and more spin on his shot so its more effective on grass

The flat serve is usually the hardest serve out of them all, but it lacks spin. So if you place your flat serve like down the "T" you'll get an ace, mislocate and your opponent can return it. Another popular serve for an ace is the slice serve, on the deuce side is  good place to get an ace on, pros hit this serve out wide and off the bounce it would kick further away from the opponent with an low bounce. You can also hit this one down the "T" on the Ad side for an Ace. The flat is best for blazing balls past your opponent. Slice serves come in second. \nP.S However if you really want to win matches go with more control and less power. Use a Topspin serve, which clear the net pretty good and still lands in with a high bounce that can go as high as your opponents head. This will get your opponent in a awkward position. You'll lose WAY to many points on double faults will that occur if you keep going for aces. I read that one pro (I think Roddick) got around 50 aces and still lost!!!

It depends what you do at the gym.  Tennis is awesome aerobic exercise that burns lots of calories - more so than weight training, generally speaking.  It is also better than treadmill and bikes...
