Consistency
Strokes
Tony Ping Asked 10 years ago
I have learnt table tennis for four years now and I have developed my strokes pretty good but I just can't get every shot on the table if it is over ten shots what do you think is the problem?

Hi Tony,
I usually find that technique is the key in this situation. If you utilise good technique repetitively the ball will go on the table consistently. Sometime we may play the first few well and then forget about the technique which leads to errors.
Get someone to watch you hit the ball and see if you are changing technique during the rally.

Yes, but the play sometimes carts between height and length and the amount of spin.Like the backspin sometimes you have to pull and sometimes you have to just hit it if there is not much spin.So how do I get it on the table 90% of the time?

Sorry I meant it varies

It's up to you to judge the amount of spin on the ball, in a rally, when you initiate from backspin with a forehand loop, you need to brush up more for more topspin. After that (unless you're playing a defensive player), the ball will have no spin or top spin coming back, on those, close the angle of your racket and instead of brushing, make your contact flatter (still add some spin though with the wrist). If you're doing this in training, you can really only look at the feeder's racket and the ball's bounce to determine the amount of spin (more spin means that your stroke has to be more vertical, less spin means tht your stroke can have more of a forward motion)
i hope this helps! (At least let this be correct)
