Pushes
Strokes
Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 14 years ago
Hi alois and jeff,
I have a terrible time against heavy pushes. i often lose points by making them go into the net. How do i generate good backspin and yet get the ball over the net? i tried an upward action where i create the spin and at the same time get the ball over the net but its too inconsistent. Plz tell me how i can receive them!
Also how do i topspin half long balls with heavy backspin?
Thanks

Hi Shripathi,
Try opening the angle of the ball when you are pushing. This will counter the spin on the ball.
To make a topspin off half long balls you need to get your legs down low and get under the ball.
Get the bat to start low and finish high with a more vertical action.
Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin.

- Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.
- Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.
