Hi PingSkills

when i do a pivot for my forehand, i can't make it down the line so that i'm right hand and pivot to the left side and only can hit the ball to the left side of the opponent
so how to place the ball to the left side of the table?

please for the answer :D thank you very much

Hi Frendy,

YOu need to give your self a good balanced position to hit from.  Playing down the line is harder because it is a shorter distance to work with on the table.  Play with more topspin rather than trying to hit the ball fast and make sure you are playing the stroke correctly.
