Forehand smash

Tony Hempsall Asked 15 years ago

Hi Coach

More often than not when i hit a forehand smash with backspin i over hit making the ball miss the table or go into the net so should i play the ball with loop or a flat hit.

Regards

Hi Ash,

When you are smashing always use either a flat hit or put a little topspin onit.  Trying to smash with backspin if really dangerous and should be saved for party tricks.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash.  I am sure it will help you out.
