Strokes
Felix De Guzman Asked 11 years ago
good day coach...I have a question...on which is better for us to use when we attack...the "SPIN DRIVE" or the "FLAT drive".. What will you recommend us to use with this two kinds of drive?
in TERMS of: 1.percentage of success of the attack
2.easier to perform
3.harder for our opponent to counter or block the attack
4.in driving(smash) a rotating ball (chop, top spin, side spin, spiral and combinations)
5.in driving(smash) a fast moving ball w/out any rotation

Hi Felix,
It is better to work on the topspin because you can add more speed and still have safety. Only when the ball is higher should you flatten out the contact. You will see that the better players very rarely use a flat ball. Most of the tie they have some degree of topspin on their shots.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
