High balls
Strokes
JinMeng Lai Asked 13 years ago
Hi
what is the technique of hitting high balls to the opponent's half, standing away from your own side of the table when the opponent topspins? I have difficulty because I tend to ovehit it, or hitting it very close to the net.
Also, what do you create the topspin effect in this high balls? Thank you.

Hi Jin Meng,
You can topspin these balls back. You need to start with your bat quite high and brush the top of the ball. If the ball is up high enough though it is probably better to use a smash rather than a topspin.
