Smashing, topspin and attacking in general
Strokes
Quan Tran Asked 11 years ago
Lately i have been trying to do and train attacking strokes, but my consistency isn’t very good either the smash goes out of the table or in the net and same with the forehand topspin against backspin.
These have discouraged me to attack in general and I sometimes have to resort to just lifting the ball up for my opponent to smash, i am evwn having trouble with the forehand counterhit
Note : played for 2 years Prior and then lost interest, back in for 1 year

Hi Quan,
Persevere with your attacking strokes. Perhaps try to slow them down a little till they do become more consistent. Make sure your technique is correct on the strokes as well. If you do these two things your consistency will improve and then you can start to gradually increase the speed and still maintain your consistency.
Go through the lessons we have in our Strokes & Techniques section to get a good idea of how to play all of your strokes.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
