In Week 6 master class, I am a little confused as to why the ball was not kept in play even though you are hitting the ball in Jeff's comfort zone. I mean this drill is pretty similar to the pingskills drill when it comes to the placement of the ball. Why use multi ball for this drill? Is it because the recovery of the person playing the wider forehand would be effected if the ball is kept in play?

Hi Shaji,
Because you are making a big movement to the wide ball it is best to stop after that ball so you can practice that particular movement more times.
By visualising yourself playing Table Tennis, you can improve your skills without having to actually hit a ball. Of course you still need to practice actually playing the game but this can help you perfect your technique. Watch the master class for some ideas on how to do this.
