Long deep low ball return

Collin Hill Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois, I have a problem trying to use an attacking stroke on a ball that is really deep on my side and lower than the net.... How can I play either a backhand or forehand on that low of a ball?   Thanks

Hi Collin,

Firstly you need to move across into position to be able to make an effective stroke.

Then use a topspin stroke.  If the ball is really low you can lift the ball more by having a more vertical stroke.  Like we show in our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.
