Hello,

Say your opponent blocked your backhand smash toward your backhand. Ball will come back with similar speed, say the flight of the ball will hit your chest after the drop. How do you play this ball?

Sincerely - Rez

Hi Rez,

I'd recommend playing a backhand topspin. Give it a try and let me know how it works out.

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:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. 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.
