Forehand topspin on short ball

How to play a forehand topspin / smash stroke when the ball is short.

Alois Rosario Answered 7 years ago

Hi Vijay,

This is not a good choice of stroke. If the ball is short then it is best to push or make a flick stroke.

The topspin is best attempted when the ball is long to allow yourself enough space to swing properly at the ball.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
