Hi Paul,

I would start by going back a step and just controlling the ball over. Go back to the most important skill lesson. It is all about tapping the ball back on the table. Then you can progress to adding a little more to your stroke till you are making the forehand counterhit.

Always look to keep things simple first. If it is not working go back a step by slowing it down.

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.
