| MYTH |
| “Heavy Topspin Will Make the Ball Go Higher Over the Net and Therefore Safer.” |
| TRUTH |
| BUSTED! The myth that heavy topspin guarantees a safer shot by making the ball go higher over the net is misleading. While topspin does make the ball dip faster, excessive spin can cause the ball to drop short or go out if not controlled. In fact, advanced players like Nadal used topspin with precision, balancing it with speed and depth. Too much spin without proper control can actually reduce the margin for error and make the shot more vulnerable. |
