How do I smash a low ball?

Strokes

Krishna Suresh Asked 13 years ago

How should I smash a low ball? I am finding it difficult to do.

Hi Krishna,

When the ball is low it is best to make a topspin stroke. This will give you a better margin for error over the net. If you try to smash a low ball you will end with a lot of errors.

Take a look at the lesson we have on the Forehand Topspin. This is the stroke you should use in this situation.

I have a serious attacking "hole" where the ball is too high to be looped,but still too low to be smashed

I usually do a loop against those balls. I don't think the gap between "can be looped" and "can be smashed" balls though. I smash balls when it is above shoulder height. If it is in that area, I wait it out a little bit before hitting
