  • Backhand low serve
  • Backhand lift and forehand lift
  • Forehand and backhand drives

Forehand gripa handshake hold on the racket, used for shots on your racket side
Backhand gripa hold with the thumb along the handle, used for shots on the other side
Servethe shot that starts a rally
Cleara high, deep shot to the back of the opponent's court
Dropa soft shot that falls just over the net
Drivea fast, flat shot travelling close to the net
Rallythe exchange of shots until a point is decided
