Playing low balls

Strokes

Harikrishnan U Asked 13 years ago

Hi Sir! Can you please tell me how do i counter,smash and topspin a ball which comes low

Hi Hari,

A low ball should be played with more topspin to get it over the net. You shouldn't attempt to smash it because the risk factor is too high.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.

Can i topspin the ball which falls low near the net. If not topspin how can i attack.

Close to the net it is best to play a push or a flick stroke.
