Backspin smash
Strokes
sebastian selander Asked 12 years ago
Hi coach!
My question is: is it possible to do a backspin smash?
NOT smashing on a backspin.
Like you smash but not with a topspin but with a backspin instead?

Hi Sebastian,
Yes this is possible but not at all recommended. It adds to the risk of the stroke. When the ball is up that high you should have an 80% chance of winning the point. The chop smash is a risky stroke and will tip the odds towards your opponent winning the point so that is why we don't advise it.

Forehand Block
The forehand block is one way to counter a topspin stroke hit to your forehand side. Learn this stroke and you will be able to keep yourself in the rally even when your opponent get the first attack in.
