Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Here is the client's explanation for this term:
C'est un coup droit dont l'effet est intermédiaire entre le CD a plat (flat) et le CD lifté (topspin forehand).
I can't seem to find anything that quite corresponds.

Note from asker:
| I'm definitely looking for a forehand with some topspin here. It seems to be a rather particular shot and there may not be a single term in English to explain it. |

: Yes, but this doesn't go with Asker's "effet est intermédiaire entre le CD a plat (flat) et le CD lifté (topspin forehand) = semi lifté.

disguised forehand
I might be a bit late with this but have you considered 'disguised forehand'? It's a commonly used term, captures the meaning of recouvert and seems to fit quite well with the client's explanation (in my opinion).
Example sentence:
"Murray produces a heavily disguised forehand cross-court winner for the first break"
"A perfectly disguised forehand return from Federer falls in for a clean winner"
