How to play a forehand topspin / smash stroke when the ball is short.
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.
Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
