Smashing Techniques against Lob
Strokes
Robert Quinn Asked 13 years ago
Gentlemen,
I just joined Ping Skills. I love it.
Will you please show the proper techniques for smashing very highly lobbed balls. I am particularly interested in the proper footwork. It looks like the attacking player sets up on his back foot and then quickly transfers his weight to the front foot at contact. Thank you.

Hi Bob,
That is right. It is really important to get back onto the back foot so that you have some momentum into the ball when you are smashing. Use the time the ball is up in the air to get prepared. Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash which will show you in detail what I am talking about.

Timing can help you to improve your stroke. It can also be a reason that you are struggling with your stroke. By changing the timing you can change the type of ball your opponents is facing.
