Training
Hi Alois, Hi Jeff,
sometimes even fast footwork doesn't help to get in a "correct" position and i have to play a backhand with an outstretched arm (a bit like Boll in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uArgMkskBWs an 6:45).
The difference is: Boll and the other top players get the ball on the table - I seldom do. Any hints on how to practice this situation?
Thanks
Claus

Hi Claus,
You can try to simulate this situation using multi ball. Get the other player to hit one ball wide to your forehand and then the next ball wide to the backhand where you have to stretch to reach the backhand. The more times you can simulate this situation the better you will get at it. You don't get a chance to play this ball very often so that it why it is a difficult ball to get on the table.
You will notice that Boll has great movement which also means that when he hits that ball he is well balanced.

Finding one serve your opponent doesn't like can win you a match. That's why it's important to be able to serve with variation. When you playing an opponent try different variations of each serve and see what your opponent doesn't like.
