Distance for forehand shot
Strokes
j s Asked 11 years ago
Hi,
Had a practice session a while ago and have been standing at least an arm's length away from table when practicing my backhand loops and this has been very successful. But when I tried the same thing for my forehand loop, I found that I was too far away from the table to execute a proper shot. What is the solution ? Should I step in with my left foot ? Thanks

Hi Julian,
Yes try stepping in with your left foot to get a bit closer to the ball. Perhaps even try hitting the ball a little earlier.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
