Long deep low ball return
Strokes
Collin Hill Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois, I have a problem trying to use an attacking stroke on a ball that is really deep on my side and lower than the net.... How can I play either a backhand or forehand on that low of a ball? Thanks

Hi Collin,
Firstly you need to move across into position to be able to make an effective stroke.
Then use a topspin stroke. If the ball is really low you can lift the ball more by having a more vertical stroke. Like we show in our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.

Table tennis is fast, but rushing your shots is the biggest mistake we see. Hitting the ball too early throws off your timing, balance, and control. In this video, we show you how to play with better rhythm and stay calm under pressure.

Wow thanks Alois, lifting it like that really gets it over nicely! I was just hitting it too flat. Thanks soooooo much as always Alois!! :-)
