Hi sir! Can you tell me what tactic should i use against a player who always tries to smash the ball. Because whenever i play my opponent moves to make room for hitting the ball and smashes it.

Hi Hari,

In our Premium Lessons we have a lesson specifically designed for this.  It is titled "I can't return that smash".  For all of you Premium Members you can access it directly.  If you aren't a Premium member you can sign up for a free 7 day trial and see the lesson now.

In it we show you that it is about what happens to prevent the person from smashing rather than dealing with the smash that is important.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
