3.7. Converting to Drive or Cut from Hcork or Fcork
This page introduces the swing technique of Section 2.5 Return by Converting to Drive or Cut from Hcork or Fcork.
When the ball with the Hcork(H) comes from the opponent, adding FcorkDrive(FT) converts it a Drive(T).
When the ball with the Hcork(H) comes from the opponent, adding FcorkCut(FB) converts it a Cut(B).
When the ball with the Hcork(H) comes from the opponent, adding FcorkDrive(FT) converts it a Drive(T).
When the ball with the Fcork(F) comes from the opponent, adding HcorkDrive(HT) converts it a Cut(B).
Here, it is assumed that the service from the opponent comes to your backhand side.
Once again confirm. If you are able to add the spin indicated by the vector diagram,
it is OK in any swing. Following techniques are one example.
