Strokes

Coach,

How to use short pimples on forehand? Can you teach me some stroke??

Hi JoeMaria,

You need to have a short stroke. You can't generate much spin so you need to work on speed. Think of it like a fast short counterhit.

Take a look at Johnny Huang who used to use short pimples on his forehand. Here is a clip you can start with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PYIP2tzOPw

I don;t have much experience but I know a lot of players use Tibhar Grass or Yasaka Phantom.
