low balls
Strokes
Ziga Kranjec Asked 15 years ago
I'm having problems with this player in my school. He serves and plays most of the balls really low and is really consistent. I can usually push back his short balls back short, but I really don't have an answer for his long and middle length balls that are very low to the table. I play my forehand with topspin mostly, but I have a lot of problems imparting top spin on the ball because it's so low. Most of my balls end up in net or I hit a weak shot and he punishes me with his forehand.
Any advice on how should I cope with this?

HI Ziga,
This is an important stroke in Table Tennis and one you should keep working on to master.
You should persevere with trying to topspin or loop this ball. It may take some time to master.
Look a our lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin. This will show you how to do the stroke.
Work hard at it. It will be rewarding for you.
