Attack lower ball
Strokes
somchai phatharathananunth Asked 12 years ago
Hi coach,
Can i attack the ball that higher than the net but not as high as the one that you show on the forehand smash video with the same stroke as you did in that video? Or I have to topspin it?
All the best,
Somchai

Hi Somchai,
If the ball is a bit lower it is best to topspin it. You can still make a fast stroke but the topspin will make the shot a bit safer than a smash.

No Spin Loop
The no spin loop is a good variation that can be effective even at the highest level. Watch as we show you how to get this stroke right.

I think it depends on 1) the current speed of the ball 2)the spin on the ball .If the ball is too fast ,it's difficult to make a fast stroke with control and a topspin could be very effective.If the ball has backspin or side-spin , smashing a relatively low ball can cause unforced errors and again a topspin will be effective
