Looping half-long balls with backspin low over the net
Strokes

Hi Alois and Jeff I tend to have a lot of difficulty with looping half long balls with backspin as they go too high over the net and my opponent can just block it or smash it down. How do i achieve a low arc when this happens?

Hi Shea,
It may be as simple as turning the angle of your bat forward. You then need to brush the ball fast because you need enough speed with your racket at that angle to get the ball over the net. Lots of practice and confidence in the stroke to get the required speed.
