Brushing or Hitting The ball
Strokes
Johnny Long Asked 10 years ago
Hey. I'm just a bit unsure about brushing the ball or hitting the ball more. I am a beginner, so should I put more momentum / speed into my attack strokes or brush them more? Or is this just a personal preference?
Thanks.

Hi Johnny,
Have a combination of both spin and speed. To start with though keep your stroke slower and with less spin and aim for consistency to be able to get a lot of balls on the table in a row.
