Strokes
Hey Alois,
I've been watching lots of pro matches lately and I keep seeing players smashing smash from their opponents continously. Do you have any tips for doing this?
Hi Bryan,
You need to see the ball early and be in a good position to do it. Wait for the right one when the smasher plays a slightly slower ball.
Also do a search at the top of the Ask the Coach page and put in 'Smash to smash and you will see there are a few more answers to similar questions that may help.
Learning to play the forehand topspin (also known as the forehand loop) in table tennis is one of the biggest steps forward you can take with your game. The topspin will cause the ball to dip down allowing you to hit the ball harder yet still maintaining consistency.
