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.
