Backspin smash
Strokes
sebastian selander Asked 13 years ago
Hi coach!
My question is: is it possible to do a backspin smash?
NOT smashing on a backspin.
Like you smash but not with a topspin but with a backspin instead?

Hi Sebastian,
Yes this is possible but not at all recommended. It adds to the risk of the stroke. When the ball is up that high you should have an 80% chance of winning the point. The chop smash is a risky stroke and will tip the odds towards your opponent winning the point so that is why we don't advise it.
