Feather touch
An informal name for very light contact that lifts the ball just over the net, so it lands short and barely bounces.
Hvornår du spiller det
When both opponents are deep in their court. On a slow ball near the net that you can cushion.
Sådan spiller du det
Hold the racket loosely and open the face slightly. Meet the ball with almost no swing, lifting it rather than hitting it. Aim just over the net and away from the nearest opponent.
Typiske fejl
Using it when an opponent is close to the net. Touching the net with your racket as you reach, which loses the point.
