I think we've all come across a time when you need to smash with your backhand,but how do you do it?

Hi Harry,

It is best to move around and make a forehand smash.  If you are caught then you should either play a topspin or a smash.  To make the smash you need to get your bat up high at the start position and then hit the ball flat on contact.

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​
