Its the question for all viewers that which shot they like the most?? I like backhand smash as hard as i can drive. harder i drive more I like.

My favourite is the forehand topspin probably because it is one that I feel confident with in a game and it can win me points.

I will throw it open to our readers to tell us their favourites.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.

My favourite shot is the forehand topspin against topspin. I love this stroke because although it is a little risky, if you can play it well it puts all of the pressure back on your opponent. It is a great feeling to win a point by counter topspinning the ball.

My favourite shot is the slow, lifted shot with heavy sidespin that opponents try to block and/or smash and end up completely missing. I either do this with an outside-in-stroke with an open racquet face off the backhand (stroke looks a bit like a sidespin backhand flick) or a forehand shot close to the ground (such as after a net tip).
