Long deep low ball return
Strokes
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.

Countering a Chop Block
The key is to countering a chop block is to ensure you wait for the ball as it comes through much slower compared to a normal block. You also need to lift the ball more than you would against a regular block.

Wow thanks Alois, lifting it like that really gets it over nicely! I was just hitting it too flat. Thanks soooooo much as always Alois!! :-)
