Can you show us how to attack the ball that is short but will bounce on the end of the table on forehand, middle and backhand

thanks

Hi Martin,

The main thing is to get close to the table and swing through quite fast over the table.  It is not an easy stroke to make.  You need to brush the top of the ball as you will find it difficult to swing up the back of the ball if it is that short.

The ball has to be relatively high to be able to do this.  Otherwise you are better off to push or flick.
