I am really not able to adjust my arm backhand and forehand both specially on a little bit high ball. How can i improve it.

Hi Nikhil,

With high balls I often see players miss the ball not really because of the arm, but because of their position. You need to get into position early and this will make the stroke much easier. Watch our video on the Forehand Smash and let me know if this helps you out.

The backhand smash is an awkward shot and I recommend that you move around and play a forehand smash.

i was talking about the ball which are not too high for smashing but are a bit high to adjust my arm so I am able to hit those balls but many of them goes out

You should use topspin on those balls.  You don't have to hit them hard just put topspin on them and get them deep.
