Low Ball on my Forehand
Strokes
Mihir Lanjewar Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois ,
Often while playing a ball comes towards my forehand ( I am right handed ) very low. I am not able select a proper shot, so I have to lift the ball very high which gives my opponent a chance to play a smash. Which shot should I play in this condition?

Hi Mihir,
You should play a forehand topspin against this type of ball. As it is low, you'll need to lift it. Use a brushing action though to generate plenty of topspin which will allow the ball to get up and over the net and then dip down onto the table.
You can also think about the placement of your shot. If your opponent is attacking your topspin with their forehand, try placing it to their backhand.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
