Strategy
I am hoping you would clear my issue. I have a player that has a strong flat smash which he uses to his strength by setting it up. The only problem with this is he would sometimes get it off the table I would say probably 70% he gets the point. Also when he does this he always follows through but some players are able to return it and he is caught out of position.
My question is I always have him doing in practice a top spin FH attack but he ends up doing a flat smash instead during the games. Should I keep trying to have him do the topspin FH or have him perfect his strength with flat smash?
Thank you.
Hi Greg,
I think it is a matter of getting a balance between the two strokes. Learning when to smash and when to topspin. The 30% that he is missing may be better to approach with a topspin to add some safety but I wouldn't get rid of his smash altogether as it is obviously a strength in his game.
Don't struggle against antispin players. Use this tips to stay in control of the situation and understand what type of spin is on the ball during the rallies.
