Lifting Backspin

Strokes

MEHMET SAHIN Asked 14 years ago

Hi Alois

How can I forehand and backhand smash or hit the ball that is backspin

What should I do?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

Hi Mehmet,

You should use the topspin stroke. It is also called a loop because you are lifting the ball up. You need a more vertical stroke but you still need to be brushing the ball to grip it and lift it over the net.

Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin.
