Backhand smash
Strokes
Harry Fay Asked 12 years ago
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.
