Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.

Thoughts on this question

to hit a backhand should I apply more wrist than arm?

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 13 years ago
For a backhand topspin you can use more wrist. When you are learning the backhand you don't need too much wrist. This will lead to more errors initially and a lack of confidence.
