Smashing lower balls

Strokes

Ali Mammadov Asked 7 years ago

How can I smash the ball when it is coming at a low height and is it the right time to do it?

Alois Rosario Answered 7 years ago

Hi Ali,

It is best to attempt to make a small when the ball is at shoulder height or higher. Against a lower ball you are working with a low margin for error.

Take a look at our tutorial on the Forehand Smash.
