What do I do if I hit a short ball but my opponent still can smash it back?
Hi Omar,
You are probably hitting the ball too high. Aim lower. Try to get the ball to just skim over the net or even brush the top of the net on the way through.
Take a look at our lesson on Keeping The Ball Low for an idea of what yo can do to help this.
Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
