    ok. I know exactly what I am talking about

    1. bend your knees

    2. rotate torsoe backwards

    3. rotate torsoe forwards whilst driving up through legs, creating a high to low swing motion

    4. make sure your racquet head is facing forwards when you make contact, not up or down.

    5. follow through, make sure you swing through fully, maybe even up over your shoulder.

    NB maybe you are having a problem because your grip doesn't allow much top spin, the more you rotate your grip around from continental to western, the easier it is to create topsin.

    Im a hs tennis player, and the way to get top spin is brush over the ball kind of like your peeling an orange. At first u will prlly hit the ball low, but with top spin u can apply a lot more power to the ball.Dont be discouraged if u cant get it right away.

    You hit the ball from low to high, and you want to turn your racket so that it doesn't hit the ball directly but rather it hits the top half. Imagine trying to shave the fuzz off the back and top of the tennis ball with your racket.

    You get really under the ball. Then you follow through about half way, it will be level w/ your stomach. Swing fast. Wa-La, topspin. You really only need this shot when you're up past the service line. That means you shouldn't take a big back swing.

    just make sure to swing low to high, and you will be sure to get some top spin on the ball

    You start from low to high and then you BRUSH UP and follow through, sometimes it's hard to get at first, but sooner or later you will get the hang of it.
