Hi PingSkills

I've a problem on my forehand smash

After I mastered the forehand topspin, my smashes are getting worse

After a lot of experience I think that it's about the timing

My smash timing is more likely the topspin timing and it make my smashes bad

How to fix it?

Please help me

Thank you very much

Hi Frendy,

They are different shots.  Think about starting the stroke for your smash higher and also make the contact a lot higher.  If you start the stroke low and contact it low you will have problems.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.

What about the angle of the bat?

if I close it then it will genrate topapin on it and if I open it I can't drag the ball down to the table and the ball will fly off

You need a mixture of the two.  A little spin and a little flat.  By hitting the ball from higher you have a straight line to the table.
