Hello Coach,

However I have difficulty returning balls that are low semi long that is barely coming off the table I either

  • Hit the ball so that it goes out of the table
  • Or I hit it too high and the opponent gets a chance to attack

What can I do in this situation.

Hi,

Take a look at this tutorial on Hitting Topspins From Below Table Level.  I think it will help to answer some of your questions.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
