Hi Raviteja,

If you watch the ball very carefully you will get the best information as to where the ball is coming.  Try to be in a neutral position before your opponent hits the ball and then by watching the ball you will be able to react as fast as possible to which side the ball is coming.

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.
