Block and smash
Strokes
umar khan Asked 10 years ago
First of all....thanks for understanding my topspin question...it completely changed my game.
1. Now .the present one....i cant smash properly.whenever a ball comes high enough i get a somewhat ticklish feeling and i miss it.also I've watched your smash video,you say that our momentum should be forward instead of down...that is ok but to which extent?Cus when I do this my ball goes flying off the court.any tips,plssss?
2. I cannot block and counter-hit. Due to a mistake in learning without a coach, i considered topspin an important and basic stroke and i've never learnt to counter. I am jeered due to this and also I lose most of the matches due to bad blocks. I simply can't learn this two fundamentals please help..

Hi Umar,
Just keep working on the technique of the strokes. Watch the lessons on these strokes over and over and try to get a good image in your head of the strokes. Listen also to the key points. Then try to make a short video of yourself that you can watch and see what your strokes look like compared to those shown in the lessons.
The most important part is perseverance.
