Strategy

When my  opponent serves it is sometimes loose balls which don't have much spin so how can I counter those. Whenever I try to push the ball rises and smash and if I do counter there's another smash.

Hi Sonia,

Try to make a topspin against the loose balls.  It is the safest shot and is still a very effective stroke.
