Deadball or backspin on high ball
Strokes
Ernest Wahyu Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois,
How can I tell the difference between deadball and backspin ball when the ball is flying high in the air ? It looks the same for me. Sometimes i judge the ball wrongly so i missed the opportunity to score..

Hi Ernest,
The ball with a lot of backspin will tend to stay in the air a little longer and almost look like it is floating. Try to get someone to give you a lot of these balls as multiball and you will start to understand it better.
The high backspin ball can be a difficult one to deal with. Open up the angle of your racket as you make your shot to counteract the backspin.

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.
