Smash

Strokes

Jason Bui Asked 5 years ago

Why do some penholders switch their grip to shakehand when they smash? Like Wang Zengyi and Ma Lin? Is it powerful?

Alois Rosario Answered 5 years ago

Hi Jason,

I think it is just more comfortable to smash. They often change the side of the racket they are using for this ball as well because they feel the backhand rubber they are using is easier to smash with.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
