Hi Nick,

When you are further away from the table you can have a longer stoke.  This is both possible and necessary.  You have more time so that you can play the longer stroke but it is also necessary to generate enough power to get the distance back to the table and still make the stoke effective.

Think of it more as just a longer forehand topspin stroke.  You can do the same on the backhand side.
