Forehand Counterhit technique
Strokes
Caleb The Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois,
I have a question about the forehand counter-hit. I'm not actually sure which technique I should use. When you finish with the forehand counter-hit and the racquet is directly in front of your head, should I still swipe the air until my arm is directly in front of my face? And also, when you start the forehand counter-hit, should I start the racquet from the ground instead of on top of the table like how you did it in the grip video.
My questions are a bit hard to understand, sorry about that.
Thanks, Caleb
