Hi Mayo,
The key is brushing the ball thinner.
The faster you brush the ball the more spin it will get but the thinner the contact the less distance it will travel.
That is why a fast thin contact is important. However it also means it is a more difficult skill to master.
Try stepping away from the table and getting the ball to come back towards you after you hit it.
If the ball is coming back or curving then you are brushing the ball. Just keep having a try at it away from the table because you don't have the restriction of hitting the ball on the table. Have a good swing at it and don't worry if you miss the ball completely. In fact it probably means you are starting to get the idea if you are missing the ball because you are trying for a thin contact.

Hi Mohammad,
It is great that these sorts of questions can help so many players.
Keep working on it Julian. Ma Lin has a few years of practice on you.
It will just keep getting better and better.
Hey Gaurav,
That is a great serve that almost dies when it hits the table because of the amount of backspin. The ball is really low over the net as well allowing it to go short.
Hi coaches! Mayo Mayo have uploaded the video above. Is Mayo Mayo one of the admins of this site? Or anyone can upload videos ?
