Hi for this video, could you briefly explain to me the technical difference between what the player in orange and black was doing at the 30s and 45s mark? There is a visible difference definitely, but I would like to know more on the main technical difference in execution. Is the 30s mark a forehand drive and the 45s mark, a forehand loop? Many thanks.

They are just slightly different versions of a forehand.  The second has a bit more topspin the first is a counterhit.  YOu should look at the lessons on these two strokes in our free lessons.

Backhand Smash

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.
