Tip of the day
Ben Johns breaks down the "sweeping forehand attack," a powerful shot for handling high, soft balls in the kitchen.
The key is using a high-elbow, sweeping motion to keep the ball low and unattackable.
Good footwork helps you adjust and strike at the right moment, either out of the air or off the bounce.
Johns also stresses the importance of placing shots based on your opponent’s position. Avoid using too much wrist—keep the motion controlled and smooth.
With practice, this shot becomes a reliable offensive weapon. Mastering it will add more variety and aggression to your game.
Key Points:
Use a high-elbow, sweeping motion to keep your shots low and hard to counter.
Good footwork helps you position yourself for the best contact point.
Place your shots where your opponent isn’t to gain an advantage.
Avoid too much wrist action—keep the motion smooth and controlled.
