Hi coach earlier today during the games i was getting scolded by my opponent when we do 5 balls (some drills that does pushing). i dont know how to do that drill. He said my stroke was bad im not in the right position etc..
Can you show us the proper way or any advice?

Hi Amekun,
The fifth ball drill is an extension on 3rd ball.
With this drill you serve (1st ball), your partner pushes it back (2nd ball), you make a topspin (3rd ball). Then they block it back (4th ball) and you attack the 5th ball.
It is important during all your drills that you remain balanced. So don't try to do too much with each ball. That is a common error. Play within your speed ability.
Just persevere with the drill and you will get better.

What should you do when you get forced back from the table? Should you just close your eyes and try and smash the ball back? Should you lob the ball back and try and stay in the point? This week in our master class we discuss your options and when to use the lob, chop or counter attack.
