Hi Alois and Jeff, I was wondering if you have any tutorials on weight transfer, I find it quite hard for me to shift my weight from my back leg to my front to get the power in my stroke.

Thanks!

Hi Shaurya,

I think the main thing is to maintain balance first.  Once you can do this then you can think about the transfer of weight through your stroke.

The transfer isn't a big move, just a small change in balance between back and front legs.  Remember that when you contact the ball the weight needs to be roughly in the middle of your balance between your legs.

Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
