Hi Hardik,

Perhaps you are not getting the speed coming towards you with the weaker players and you are tightening your arm and lifting the ball over the table.  It is difficult to tell exactly without seeing what is happening.  Try to relax the arm and swing more forward against the slower or weaker balls and see if that helps you to get the ball on the table.

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​
