Strokes
Hi pingskills
So I was watching Quadri Aruna vs Zhang Jike and saw Quadri doing a side swipe off Zhang's pendulum serve. How does he keep the ball so controlled? When I tried the ball went all over the place. Is the forehand side swipe better off a normal pendulum or reverse pendulum?
Thank you very much?
Hi Bryan,
It is a risky stroke against either but I would find it easier off the Pendulum serve as the ball is coming in towards the bat.
Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
