Counter the smash with forehand/backhand topspin
Strokes
Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I've seen many videos that counter the smash with the forehand/backhand topspin. Is that a good option to counter the smash?

Hi Archel,
If yo have time it is good to make a topspin. It is the most difficult shot when you are away from the table because it will take more time to make the stroke.
A lob is like a topspin but just a slower stroke that goes up higher and gives you more time.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
