Hi Alois and Jeff,

How to deal with the long backspin serve or a chop? I've watched your video about the forehand/backhand topspin off backspin, but I couldn't made it pass through the net.

Thanks a lot!
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,

If the ball is going into the net you need to lift it more with a more vertical stroke.  Also check that you have grip on the rubber on your racket.  Without this grip you will not be able to lift the ball well.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
