Hi Alois. I want to know when is the best time I have to do the transition from defense when I facing the smashes to an offense situation. Thanks :)

Hi Jason,

The best time is if they make a weaker smash and you have time to get into position to make a stronger shot.

Play with topspin initially and then just make the topspin stronger when you can.

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:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. 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.
