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.

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.
