I am not a lefty, I have problems regarding the spin of the ball to different direction. I can spin the ball but my strokes can only go to the left side of the opponent's table. How could I spin the ball to the right side of the table easily? Thank you for the response :)

Hi Tyrone,

To change direction all you need to do is to use the angle of the wrist.  It doesn't take much of a change in the angle in your wrist to make a big difference to the place the ball will go.  Just by turning your wrist back a little.  You can also change the timing of your shot.  By hitting the ball a little later the ball will go down the line.

Focus on changing the timing and the wrist and see what you can do.
