Forehand Smash
Strokes
Gerard Tran Asked 6 years ago
Hello Alois,
During a rally, my opponent might accidently hit the ball high. I know that this is a good time to smash the ball but when I do, I am unready for the unexpected ball and I either miss the ball completely or I hit the ball but the ball flies off the table. How do I find the right time and position to be able to smash the ball faster and precisely?
Kind regards,
Gerard

Hi Gerard,
One of the things I see a lot is that players don't use the time while the ball is in the air to move into position.
Watch the tutorial on the Forehand Smash and you will see that we emphasise these things.
Often when the ball is in the air you almost get mesmerised by the ball and your feet stop.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
