How would you hit the ball so that it has a huge amount of topspin like rafael nadal does?

How can I get better? I need advice and a heloping hand.?
It is not about the muscles at all, it is about skill and movement. To be able to hit a top spin like Rafael Nadal you need to move your legs a lot, bend your knees, and make sure that you come under the ball with your racket when hitting. Nadal also has a special swing where he rotates his arm over his head, this will help you generate more speed as well. Everybody has a different stroke, but the main idea of top spin is to bend your knees and come under the ball with your racket when you are about to hit. There are also some rackets that will help you generate extra top sping like Nadal's racket the Babolat Aero Pro Drive.As you are hitting the ball angle your racquet down, and try to brush up with your arm and wrist to create top-spin but I'm pretty sure you need tons of practice you do it like nadal.
Good luck
Is the australian open playing on any local channels in ca?
A lot of upper-arm muscles certainly don't hurt. Nadal doesn't even have to put all that much into his strokes, just because he has so much muscle. Also, he uses a very extreme grip and makes contact with the ball underneath it. It takes an awful lot of practice and experience to hit the ball like he does.i'll tell you, but im not going to suggest it.
1) switch to western grip. i use this grip, but im left handed. i suggest you dont. its not going to help you later in tennis.
2) wrist. you have to snap your wrist on contact with the ball. this i really dont suggest you do. it will literally kill you wrist and you'll never be able to play again. only the people on the tour can do it because they train their wrist everyday and still they dont do it all the time.
very dangerous the things ive listed above. dont do it until you get a lot better. a lot!
Hit it like Rafael Nadal... actually, as you start your swing, make sure that the strings come into contact with the ball on an upward motion. Sort of roll the ball over the top as it leaves your racket... that should put on a topspin. But practice it, b/c we all know, practice makes perfect.
Use your legs and bend your knees, come up as you make contact. Make sure you start lower and then rise up.
I find that switching to a western grip helps in putting the topspin on. I'm a lefty and lefties have an awesome backhand, with an unreal topspin. HA!
[Damn, technical explanations are hard to give in another language than your mother's one ;o)] To give that kind of effect, you have to attack the ball from below, and then speeding your wist towards the top. Imagine you have a wall in front of you, and when you hit the ball your purpose is to not touch the wall but rather follow it (from the bottom to the top).
Hope it makes at least some sense...
