Hi alois,

Every time i smash my opponent, and they return it, i never could return it back. Maybe it is because my action is too big in my smash, i isnt that what you're suppose to do.

Pls HELP

Thanks

Hi Mat,

When you smash still stay balanced and push back with your leg to get back into position for the next ball.  Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash and watch the way we show you how to recover after the smash.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
