Techniques for returning long topspin balls
Strokes
Ken Matsuno Asked 2 years ago
Hi coach,
I am not good at a rally. Some of my friends are very good at it unlike me. So they often use a long fast topspin serve. I hit it back of course. In the rally they will return almost all my balls (they seldom mistakes).
if you happen to know a technique or two to return those topspin balls short, please let me know.

Hi Ken,
I think the best think is to learn the Forehand Counterhit and Backhand Counterhit strokes well. This is a good way to get into the rally better. Learning the technique will give you confidence not be able to rally with them.
