Smashing a short high backspin shot
Strokes
Dan Shoop Asked 11 years ago
I often get into a position whereby my opponent has made a mistake and returned the ball back high (say very high) and short but with backspin.
I feel (and so do they) that this ought to be an easy kill but I seem to put it in the net way way too often.
Should I slap it down or should I brush it down? Am I too late or maybe I should wait till it drops a bit?

Hi Dan,

Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
