The main feature of the horizontal racket is that the wrist is forced, the tiger's mouth is stuck on the front of the racket, and the thumb and index finger control the reverse side of the racket. When gripping the racket, players should take care to adjust their grip strength, not too tight or too loose, while maintaining the stability and flexibility of the hand.

First, the player should place the racket in front of the body, and then swing the racket forward with the elbow as the axis, while rotating the waist and feet to hit the ball out. In the process of hitting the ball, players should pay attention to the angle and strength of the racket, as well as the coordination and balance of the body.
