5th ball drive or loop

Strokes

Romeo Chua Asked 9 years ago

Hi guys :)

If my opponent blocks my 3rd ball attack, should I drive the ball back or loop the ball back?

Hi Romeo,

It is better to drive the 5th ball but make sure you put some topspin on the ball to keep it down.

I find a to of players lift that ball off the end because of the subtle variation in spin that is coming to them.

We do have a Premium lesson for our Premium members on this topic as well. Forehand Followup.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
