Strokes
Alhaj Siddig Asked 10 years ago
What would you call a stroke that combines a swift forehand smash and a swift forehand loop and which can be executed on very low balls from within the table and is not easy to block in time? I have recently managed to develop this smash that I don't see in your videos. I know that many players play this swift shot. Can you send me a video or videos describing this stroke?

Hi,
This is a fast forehand topspin. There needs to be some topspin to get this ball on the table consistently.
We do have a Premium video on Faster Forehand Topspins that will help our Premium members.

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.

Thank you very much indeed. I thought about terming it a (blitz forehand loop). Unfortunately, I may not be able to join the premium members now.
