Strokes
Hello Alois and Jeff,
I watched your video on defensive shot selection, and I was wondering on how you counter attack (especially on a smash or a fast return). If you don't already have a video on this, could you make one? Also, when playing topspin stokes is it best be close to the table or a little farther back?
Hi Wasiq,
We don't have a lesson on counter attacking a smash. We will try to do one.
When playing topspins how far you are from the table depends on the type of stroke your opponent plays. If it is a push then you should be really close to the table. If it is a topspin then you can be further away. The critical factor is where the top of the bounce will be. For a push the top of the bounce will be closer to the table.
