I'm having problems returning halflong relatively high bouncing (say 2 inch above net height) backspin balls, that don't or barely clear the table end.
These balls are typically the result of weak pushing rallies, where both players are hesitant to start an offensive return.
My personal habitis is to make a kind of mini-loop above the table, but many times I find out I can't execute enough vertical back- and forward swing to generate the required racket head speed thus ball in net.
I wonder whether I could execute a more shallow forward swing by taking the ball earlier, or should execute a flick above the table or a countedrive at 3 hr .
What would be my best option(s) in terms of benefit and risks?
PS: I placed a copy of this question at the "Neighbours" as well, sinnce this aspect of my game is quite critical and I want to gather as many opinions as possible.
