Hello Coach,

How can I return a drop ball near the net but I am standing at the normal position?

Hi Mudh,

The first important thing is to move closer to the ball. The best way is to move your right foot right under the table as far as you can.  . I like to think about getting my nose as close to the ball as possible.

From this position you can make a Push our a Flick stroke.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
