Counterhits
Strokes
viki sharma Asked 14 years ago
Hi,
The problem with my counterhits is that more times than not, they end up hitting the net. My coach says that I am hitting the ball at a greater height than I should be, especially on the forehand sid. I wanted to understand the dynamics and the correct action which causes the ball to rise above the net. For example, is it an up to down hand movement stroke or a down to up stroke. Please explain.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Viki,
For the counterhit you do need a slight down to up motion to lift the ball with a little topspin. If you hit it too flat or downwards, it will go into the net.
Take a look at our lesson on The Forehand Counterhit for some more tips on how to play the stroke.
