Hi my name is Ian and I am in 2nd grade.  I love ping pong.  When I practice my stroke in front of a mirror, doing a side on angle, it doesn't look like your videos.  Do you have any advice on how to do a side on that looks perfect.  Thanks.  Ian

Hi Ian,

Glad that you enjoy the game as much as we do.

Just keep watching the video and dooing the stroke more and more.  Think about the start and finish points and try to get them right first.  Then the rest will follow naturally.

Keep working hard.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
