The forehand open up!.
It’s part of the Third Ball Attack family,
What that means is, if I serve that’s one shot. with backspin. If they return it with backspin long, that’s the ‘second shot’ and my ‘third shot’
which is the third ball attack, forehand open up and I’m going to give you three tips to improve your forehand open up.
What you want to try and do is, spin the ball as much as possible, with loads of topspin. What that means is, you want to practice something like this.
caressing the ball, brushing it, rather than doing that. This is where you are hitting the ball and you’re not generating topspin, so make sure you practice bruising the ball trying to keep the ball on the bat for as long as possible. That’s TIP 1.
The second thing you can do, is to get your friend or coach to roll the ball on the table and for you to start below the table and spin it up by whipping, this will help you to brush the ball and learn how to do heavy topspin.
So here’s an example.
You can also hear the contact, it goes ‘chuck’ rather than ‘slap slap’
The third thing you can do to help you is hold the ball up, lets it drop maybe two or three bounces and get down nice and low and spin the ball up.
So this is how it goes.
one more time.
What you’ll notice is, I bend my knees nice and low, I drop my arm below the table because the ball has got backspin it wants to go down, so I need to start below it to lift it up.
The other key thing here is your acceleration, try and start slow, just before point of contact, accelerate to generate more spin, remember thin contact on the ball and try and catch the ball top of the bounce, maybe slightly top of the bounce for more advanced players, but do your best not to catch the ball, er after ‘top of the bounce’
I hope that helps you, please subscribe, please feel free to leave any comments or questions and I’ll be happy to help and answer your questions.
