Any tennis players out there? I kind of need help on how to do Top Spin. Can anyone give me some advice? (My racquet is good and I have Top Spin string)

I used to play tennis, and I was okay, but I think you have to strike the ball and at the same time pull the racquet downwards, so the ball twists with the racquet and is knocked forward over the net while at the same time spinning clockwise. Tricky to explain. You may as well use Google and find some diagrams.

I used to about 20 years ago. I thought to get a top spin on the ball, all you had to bring the racket from low to high as you hit it. But that was from a looong time ago, and I wasn't very good.

I play tennis, and I have no idea. Haha, sorry.

Think while it's still legal.
