High bounce to backhand
Strokes
Eddie Cronin Asked 11 years ago
Hello Coach
At times I find that I receive a high bounce to my back hand (usually from a lob) and find it quite difficult to
hit the ball correctly at the top of it's bounce. I assume that you'd wait until the ball
drops to your correct hitting zone. I haven't seen any info on this shot but it would be
interesting to get your take on it.

About the backhand smash-you once said that Longpips backhand smash is difficult.
But still possible.
So can you tell me how to do it,please?
You have to hit the ball the same way but because there is no spin on the ball, it will float straight through. That means you have to be very accurate to get it on the table.

Thanks.
If I would be able to do it,I will get a lethal weapon.
I can get one out of 100 on the table,but that one shot is very rarely returned,even compared to my forehand smash
