Strokes
D K Asked 11 years ago
Hello Alois,
today one little girl who saw me play asked me if I can teach her to play.
Although I am extremely weak player,I am still like a worldmaster compared to her,and I think my theoretic knowledge and in her case also my playing abilities are good enough to teach her for a while,so I am a little confused:what should I start with?
I know that we should continue like counterhit+the most basic spinless serve=>Bh chop serve+BH push=>FH loop etc. (or it is incorrect?)
But how should we focus on the current stroke?
what first?
footwork?
hand movement techinque?
or anything else?
Please,you are probably the best coach,please guide me

Hi DK,
Well done on taking on this task.
Go through the stroke we show in the Strokes & Techniques section. You can work your way down the page. Take plenty of time with each stroke though.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
