Against a very low ball

Strategy

What do you do if someone repeatedly hits the ball very low just on the brink of the net? Do you attack, defend?

Hi Nabid,

If the ball is only bouncing once on your side then you can use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin stroke.  If it is bouncing more than once then play a Backhand Push or Forehand Push stroke.

It is important to be patient when they are able to keep the ball low.  Don't try to hit the ball too hard.
