Could you please advise how much paddle characteristics such as “power” and grit play affect the effectiveness of this shot. Consider typical modern paddle as thermoformed from carbon fiber on surface and honey comb PP core. How weight and swing weight play in this? Can you demo different paddle models with different grit?

Of course Yasim, Think of it as a system of balance. Half of your energy/swing is dedicated to power and the other half is dedicated to spin. If you have a lighter paddle, you would focus more on the power of your shot through your swing instead of the spin. Vice-versa for paddles that are heavier. So, instead of being a 50/50 for power & spin, you would focus 70% for power and 30% for spin. In terms of grit, the roles are reversed. The higher the grit, the less you need to focus on adding spin. You can add more power because the top spin will keep your ball in the court. These new carbon paddles do an excellent job to produce spin without sacrificing much power (a big reason why you don't see many pros WITHOUT a carbon paddle). The secret is in your grip strength and focus. I have a local pro who has a very heavy paddle (JOOLA Scorpeus 14mm + lead tape. Weighs about 9+ oz) who can serve insanely fast, but their focus isn't on power, it's on producing the top spin. He still swings like a normal serve but he makes sure that his grip strength is looser to ensure that most of the power is produced from the paddle while his form/swing produce the spin. Now I wouldn't go adding more weight to your paddle just for this shot. You need to find a balance where the weight added/removed doesn't affect the rest of your game. Typically, I like my paddles around the 8.2oz weight. I hope I answered your question. *Remember, this is strictly my opinion*

Great video! Haven’t seen a video that highlighted the wrist positioning! May you create a video demonstrating forehand topspin dink?
