Why do we need to lift our leg up while smashing?

Hi Leon,

You don't have to.  Some players like to do that to get a little higher up to hit the ball.  I think you are better to keep both feet on the ground and get your power going forward.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
