Ball rollers
Strokes

Hi Alois and Jeff!
I have been wondering how do I get a ball to roll on the table to help me win points.
Thanks!

Hi Shaurya,
This is not something that you need to practice try and win points. The number of times that this happens in a match is too small to really worry about.
We do have a fun video on this. The Around the Net Forehand Topspin will give you the clues to get the basics right but then to get it to roll you need to get the ball at just the right height.

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.
