What do I do if I hit a short ball but my opponent still can smash it back?

Hi Omar,

You are probably hitting the ball too high.  Aim lower.  Try to get the ball to just skim over the net or even brush the top of the net on the way through.

Take a look at our lesson on Keeping The Ball Low for an idea of what yo can do to help this.
