Forehand topspin on short ball

How to play a forehand topspin / smash stroke when the ball is short.

Alois Rosario Answered 8 years ago

Hi Vijay,

This is not a good choice of stroke. If the ball is short then it is best to push or make a flick stroke.

The topspin is best attempted when the ball is long to allow yourself enough space to swing properly at the ball.
