Why does players tend to bend down so much when their opponent is serving?
Is it to examine the serve and the type of spin?
Hi Clement,
It is more to do why being able to move quickly when their opponent serves and also to be able to generate power on their return if the serve comes long.
Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
