How to do a counter smash
Strokes
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Asked 4 years ago
Hi there, I was wondering how I could perform a counter smash on a 'No Spin' smash. I've seen many players do this so any advice would help thank you.

Hi Hare,
This is a very difficult thing to do. I think first think about watching the ball carefully as they smash so that you get the best chance to see it. Then try to contact the ball at it's highest point of its trajectory and hit the ball flat back.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
