Strokes

Superman AVENGERS Asked 5 years ago

Could you please tell me the position of the thumb in forehand & backhand push ,forehand & backhand counter and forehand & backhand topspin.

Hi Sonia,

Don't try to move your thumb around too much with the different strokes. Keep it relaxed on the bottom of the rubber initially.

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.
