Hi Raj,

Yes you should aim to smash the ball if it is up that high.  Ad an option you can let it drop and topspin it but at the higher level if you do that you will give your oppoenent too much time and won't be able to hit the ball as fast.

Practice your smashing.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
