Strokes
Hi Jeff,
I've been wondering about these strokes, smashes, drives, and topspin. what are the main differences between each of these strokes?
Hi Kitsa,
These are extensions of each other and have only slight differences.
A drive tends to be more of a controlled stroke. The topspin is a similar stroke but with more of a brushing action and thinner contact on the ball to generate more spin. The smash is a flatter contact to get the ball moving faster. It will also be a longer stroke to generate more speed on contact.
In this video we will discuss and demonstrate how you can generate a brushing contact on the ball. A brushing contact is ideal for creating as much spin as possible during a rally.
