Hi Mark,

We say it is best to stop the problem by keeping the ball lower and deeper.  Then you won't need to worry about this.  However if you do put the ball up higher, try to move back away from the table to give yourself more time to see the ball.  Then you can use the pace of the ball to Backhand Block the ball back or if you get further back you can attempt the Lob

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.
