How can I improve my backhand smash?
Jeff Plumb Answered 12 years ago
Hi Khushank,
The way to improve any stroke is to keep practicing it. However this is one stroke that it might not be worth practicing too much. The reason is that if the ball is high enough to smash, you are better off moving around and playing a forehand smash which is much safer and much more consistent.
If you do get caught out, you need to play a kind of backhand counterhit but try to get your bat up high and swing through the ball hitting it quite flat and hard.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
