Strokes
Hello Alois!
I just recently played in a tournament and I lost to a guy who returned the ball very high. What I mean by that is he played far from the table and when he returned my slams they would bounce very high on my side. I found myself jumping to return his shots and that made me very inconsistent in the process. I need some of your killer advice!
Be blessed,
John
Hi John,
I would try waiting on the ground for the ball. This would mean that you need to move back further and then move into the ball during the stroke. You don't need to hit the ball too hard to start with, just place the ball well with enough power to keep him away from the table. When he drops one a little shorter, which will happen, you can play the smash harder and go for the winner.

You can throw your leg into the air. It is not the ideal shot but it does get you up a little higher to make the smash while still maintaining a bit of balance and contact with the ground.
Thanks for your praise!

And what about preventing the jump of the ball and smash it BEFORE it raises?
