Then whether it requires forehand grip or backhand grip. But remember that you need to play the shot downwards to the opponent’s court.
Position your racket
Always keep or position the racket on the front side of your body and wait for the opponent to play any weak shot so that you can immediately raise your racket and perform a perfect net kill.
But while performing a net kill you should be relaxed and keep your mind focused, because one can not perform any fast and frequent moves when he is nervous or tense.

Performing some frequent moves can sometimes disbalance your body, which could be dangerous and sometimes can lead to severe injuries. So you need to take the help of your non-performing hand to maintain the body balance and move frequently across the court.
