Attack against slicing

Strokes

Mark Hay Asked 11 years ago

Hello there,

Can you explain to me how you smash a ball back effectively when someone slices it to you?

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

If the ball has a lot of backspin it is better to try to topspin the ball rather than smash it. If you try to smash it you will have a very low margin for error and it is likely to go into the net or off the end of the table.

The better aggressive stroke to play is a Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
