Hello Alois/Jeff I want to know how to mislead my opponent by smashing in the backhand side of my opponent. Some professional player are misleading the ball to score a point. Its natural the your forehand topspin goes on the forehand side of the opponent so, my opponent knows where my smash is gonna be. I just want some help on changing my racket's angle so I can mislead the ball.TY

Hi Altherenz,
Try to keep your hand and wrist relaxed. Then it is easier to change the angle of your bat on contact to get it to go down the line.
You can also hit the ball slightly later to get the same effect.
