Returning a dropshot
Strokes
Ankesh Kumar Asked 14 years ago
My friend often follows a shot in the deep region with a drop shot so i have to rush in and lob the ball. This gives him an opportunity to play a smash shot. How do i counter this?

Hi Ankesh,
It may be a matter of getting your movement more efficient. Try to make the movement with a one step in forward. If that is not enough, then use a side shuffling inwards.
When you get to the ball, focus on keeping the ball low. You don't need to do a lot with it just try to keep it low so that it is difficult for your opponent make a strong shot.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
