What should I do if my opponent hits the ball to the top if I want to smash or loop the ball.

Hi Oday,

If the ball is high, above shoulder height you can think about smashing it.  To make the smash take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash.  If the ball is lower than that then you should make a Forehand Topspin.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
