Strategy

When I counter with a smash they easily return and it travels so fast when I hit the ball it flys right past me so how do I know what time to counter?

Hi Zane,

Take a look at this lesson on I Can't Return That Smash!.  I think this is a good one to show the real issues.

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.

You have problem when an opponent returns  your smash or when your opponent makes a smash?

Yes usually when he smashes really fast I don't know how to counter it 

either with a smash or to just hold my bat in the blocking position
