Smashing a short high backspin shot
Strokes
Dan Shoop Asked 11 years ago
I often get into a position whereby my opponent has made a mistake and returned the ball back high (say very high) and short but with backspin.
I feel (and so do they) that this ought to be an easy kill but I seem to put it in the net way way too often.
Should I slap it down or should I brush it down? Am I too late or maybe I should wait till it drops a bit?
