How to Deal With a No Bounce Return
Strokes
Arka Bose Asked 7 years ago
I just recently encountered a player who plays an awkward backhand stroke resulting in a very fast return with almost no bounce, like the ball drops in my side of the table and goes almost parallel to the table with very little bounce, I can't figure out how to return such kind of return. Most of the time I try to just lift the ball which results in a very bad stroke or hits the net, I've also tried topspin but it never works, How can I effectively return such a ball?
Thanks in advance

Hi Arka,
The ball may feel like it is not bouncing but it is probably just bouncing a little lower than you are expecting. Watch the ball carefully when he hits it. If the ball comes over the net then it is going to bounce a reasonable height.
Don't try to do too much with it if it is bouncing low. Just work on blocking the ball back to a good position or low as well.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
