Hi Gogo,

Step close to the ball by putting your right leg under the table. Then use the Backhand Push or the Forehand Flick stroke to handle that type of ball.

If his shot has backspin then the Push is the easier option. If the short ball has no spin or topspin, then use the Flick.

Banana Flick

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
