3. When the ball bounces lower than the net you need to use a top spin shot.
4. When you  use a top spin shot the head of the racket needs to finish the movement forward above the level of the net.
5. To have the best control over the ball’s direction you need to lead the ball with the racket in the direction that you want to play the ball.
6. When you play a top spin shot you can control the height of the ball’s trajectory in the follow ways:

• When you want to play a low ball close to the net and short, you have to finish the motion of your swing foreword with your racket 30-50 cm above the net.
• When you want to play high and deep ball,  you have to finish the motion of your swing foreword above the net, about a meter or higher depending on what kind of shot you want to implement. For a lob shot, for example, your racket’s motion foreword has to finish above your head.

7. If the ball bounces high it allows you to implement a high ball shot technique. After the shot the racket must continue the motion forward and horizontal. Watch these video clips to understand hot to implement such shots.

8. You can control the speed of the ball with the speed of your hand motion. Remember fast shot you can implement with fast hand’s motion.

9. When the position of the ball is close to the net and the bounce of the ball is under the net’s high, play short ball close to the net, of course if your opponent is not there. When you had implemented short ball close to the net immediately after the stroke you have to move to the net.

10. When you play ball cross court in order to win the point or to get the initiative, your ball’s direction has to cross side line in shorter to the net point than the opponent’s ball direction.
