Liu Shiwen control over the ball

Yap Zhi De Asked 9 years ago

Hi Alois

How can liu shiwen control the huge amount of topspin by the slow spinny forehand loop by ai fukuhara and hit the ball so flat that it is like a smash?

Hi Yap,

She is very fast and can cope with the speed and spin from Ai.  It looks like she is smashing but she is putting a lot of topspin on the ball which helps it to come down quickly.
