Bat too fast or just technique needs work

Yazhou Pan Asked 6 years ago

Hello PingSkills,

I've started playing table tennis in a league recently and noticed that if I'm in a rally with someone who can loop the ball relatively low, that I'm able to return the ball quite comfortably with a counter-loop of my own. However when the ball comes back quite high (either with minimal spin or a bit of topspin), but not high enough for a smash, and I go for a fast loop, I always overhit and over shoot the table. I'm wondering if this is just because my technique is wrong and I either need to adjust when I contact the ball (maybe wait for the ball to drop a bit), or I need to close my bat angle even more? Or is this a sign that my bat is too fast for me and I should get slower rubbers/blade?

Thank you
