High, slow and Backspinny return

Strokes

Aasim Showkat Asked 13 years ago

Hi, Alois

I am having a problem with a High, slow and Backspinny return. When I return it with Topspin the ball falls down on my side due to lack of speed(because the ball is above the end line) and when i push it, He gets a chance to make an attacking stroke. How can i overcome this problem.

Hi Aasim,

We have just added a video to a previous Ask the Coach question that is just on this topic.

Take a look at High backspin close to net.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

Your feet position
Your start position
Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

can I get that video?

It is a Premium video. Our Premium members will be able to see it. It talks about allowing for the backspin even though the ball is high. Most players see the ball is up high and think they can just hit through the ball and that is why the ball drags into the net. The backpin grips the bat and drags straight down.
