Backhand smash

Strokes

Chris Thong Asked 11 years ago

Is it possible to do a really hard backhand smash, like in the forehand when you need to jump and smash the ball really hard?

Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago

Hi Chris,

This is possible but not an easy shot. It is better to move around and use your forehand smash. You will be able to get your arm up higher on the forehand side to cope with the higher ball.

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.
