Offensive Return off high backspin
Strokes
Sourav Mehra Asked 13 years ago
Hi!I am facing a problem with a type of return that my friend gives to me. He would add a lot of backspin to the ball and lob it at the same time.When I try to smash it ,the ball goes down into the net. When I try to chop or push the ball,He counter attacks the ball with a fast topspin.What should I do to make an offensive return on this type of shot?

Hi Sourav.
If the ball is high enough you can make a Smash. You still need to allow for the backspin which will drag the ball into the net. Open the angle of your bat a little to do this. The other option is to topspin the ball. Again, allow for the backspin even though the ball is higher.
