Strokes
how to perform the backhand smash?
Hi Krishna,
If the ball is high enough to smash then you should get around on the forehand and make the smash. The backhand smash can be quite risky.
Take a look at the lesson we have on the Forehand Smash. This will help. Make sure you are moving well into position before you make the stroke. A common error I find is that players forget to move their feet while the ball is in the air.
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.
