Hi Alois,

Does it make any speed/spin difference for the opponent when we run and curve the ball vs stand and curve the ball?

Hi Soma,

I guess it depends on which way you are running.

When you are running sideways your momentum is going in that direction so it wouldn't add a lot of forward speed.  It may add spin because you bat is moving faster when you contact the ball.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
