Alois, I have a doubt about how does Joo Se Hyuk attacks with such power some short and low balls when the opponent has made a drop shot off his chop.

Thanks.

Hi Gustavo,

You are not the only one who has doubts about this. He is simply amazing!

The key is to generate enough topspin on the stroke so the ball can get up and over the net and still dip down in time to land on the table. He moves so quickly and gets into position and then plays a great Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. He gets his bat moving really fast and brushes the ball generating plenty of topspin.

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.
