Hi Alios and jeff 

I always struggle with how to hit a chest high ball on the backhand side in particular the starting position for the backhand. The ball is not high enough to smash on the backhand side but I want to make an aggressive shot, any thoughts. Thanks Aaron

Hi Aaron,

If you don't feel comfortable with the smash, go for a topspin.  If it is bouncing higher, either wait till it comes down to a comfortable height or hit it earlier off the bounce.

You could also try moving around and playing a shot with your forehand if you have time.
