Strokes
Hello Alois and Jeff,
I watched your video on defensive shot selection, and I was wondering on how you counter attack (especially on a smash or a fast return). If you don't already have a video on this, could you make one? Also, when playing topspin stokes is it best be close to the table or a little farther back?

Hi Wasiq,
We don't have a lesson on counter attacking a smash. We will try to do one.
When playing topspins how far you are from the table depends on the type of stroke your opponent plays. If it is a push then you should be really close to the table. If it is a topspin then you can be further away. The critical factor is where the top of the bounce will be. For a push the top of the bounce will be closer to the table.

Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
