When the ball is served to me with a very heavy backspin, how can i strike it forehand on the table before not too much goes up to send back very speedly? i do it very well with my backhand but can't do it with my forehand..

Hi Arif,

The key is to put a lot of topspin on the ball.  You can do this by getting a good brushing contact on the ball and swinging your arm through fast.

The topspin will also allow you to lift the ball up and over the net without going too high.  It does take a lot of practice to make this shot.  Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin to make sure you are doing the stroke correctly.
