Hi Alois! Hi Jeff!

I want to ask you how to smash long and high ball with a bit backspin.I try to adjust my racket angle but very often it falls into the net or goes off the table. What should I do?

Hi Nasko,

Adjusting the racket angle is the right way to tackle it.  Just keep working on it and you will get it right.  It is a matter of practice to get the angle just right on each ball.

If the ball goes into the net you need to have opened the angle more and if it goes off the end you need to have closed it more.

If the ball really is high enough, you can simply power through it.
