Forehand down the line
Strokes
Pedja Maric Asked 13 years ago
Hi guys,
Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you. I have a question regarding to this forehand topspin down the line. In your video response you suggested timing as crucial moment to send the ball down the line, that is, to hit the ball later, or to have longer swing. But, can I make that kind of shot by changing the angle, to go forward towards the back or upper back of the ball, with the bat more opened, but with brushing contact. It would be something similar to Timo Boll's shot, even though he mostly goes over the top of the ball. What do you think? See ya

Hi Pedja,
Yes you can also change the angle of your bat to change the direction of the ball. By opening the angle of your bat you can get the ball to go down the line.
