Returning Too Long

Strokes

I am hitting the ball off the end of the table on 20-30% of the time. I am trying to hit the ball long, but over do it by 4 to 5 inches. It is costing me too many points. What should I do ?

Hi Alan,

Focus on getting a little more topspin on the ball.  This will make the ball dip more quickly onto the table rather than flying long.

Give this a try and see how it goes.
