Cross court smash

vineeth agarwal Asked 13 years ago

usually when we hit a forehand smash,we get a return smash back on to our forehand side.or when we chop to the right side of a right hand player,he smashes on our forehand side..but how to return back a forehand smash,when the opponent smashes our forehand smash onto our backhand side?

Hi Vineeth,

It is a matter of being balanced so that you can move both ways.  If you are waiting on the forehand side it is always difficult to adjust so quickly to the backhand.  Try to remain in a neutral position and then watch the ball carefully.  By watching the ball you will pick up a little earlier where the ball is going and therefore give yourself a better chance of returning it.
