Aiming loops

Strokes

When I watched a video of me playing I noticed that all of my loops were going to the middle of the table,  Ma Long is able to control his and I was wondering how do you do it?

Hi Luke,

When you are training, put some targets on the table where you want the ball to land.  This will help you to focus on the areas you are aiming for.  The only way to improve this is with focused practice.  The better you get the smaller the targets that you can aim for.
