How to smash a lower ball and an upper ball?
Alois Rosario Answered 7 years ago
Hi Suleman,
Take a look at our tutorial on the Forehand Smash. This will show you how to hit the higher ball.
If the ball is lower then you are better off playing a Forehand Topspin stroke. This has much better safety and it also allows you to hit the ball fast enough to trouble your opponent.
