Hi Bhaavan,

The secret here is to improve your pushing and short game.  It is a matter of prevention rather than cure.

There is a lesson in the Video Zone called "I can't return that smash!" that really emphasises this and will show you the importance of this part of your game.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
