Counterhits
Strokes
viki sharma Asked 13 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.

How important are the angles of your bat when playing the forehand topspin? Is it acceptable to swing through low?
