Master Rosario,

All backhand-block shots hitting the ball right front of the body?

Or sometimes there is possibility to do left or right?

Thank you.

Hi Il,

You should make the shot from in front of your body whenever possible.  This will give you the best chance to see the line of the ball and get control of the shot as well.

Only if you are really caught for time should you then hit the ball from outside the line of your body.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
