hi guys

i am worried that my opponent will just counterattack my third ball attack if I just spin it up first 

is it ok to just spin the first ball and then go for it on the 5th?

thanks

Sasha 

also great job on re-filming the videos in HD

Hi Sasha,

The slower third ball can be really effective but you do need to mix it up with a faster ball every now and then to keep the opponent off balance.  If you always play slowly they will start to be able to attack you on the 4th ball.

Glad you like the new HD videos.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
