Bad Forehand Smash after learning Forehand Topspin
Strokes
DHS Lover Asked 11 years ago
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.

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.
