Strokes
What is the right position in making a countersmash?
Hi Brian,
You need to be a little away from the table to allow yourself to see the ball and react.
Usually you will need to be quite straight on to the table because you need to cover both the forehand and backhand sides.
Make sure you are in a good balanced position to be abel to move quickly either way.
