Shortening length of loop drives

Strokes

Henry Yam Asked 14 years ago

I want to be able to hit wider angles over the table. Is there a way to making your loop drives go shorter?

Hi Henry,

When you are wanting to hit the ball wider one of the key things is to hit the ball earlier so that you can get the angle from your hitting position. When the ball is further away from the net it is harder to get the angle.

You could also add a little sidespin on the ball to get the ball away from your opponent. This is a more advanced skill though and one that may lead to more errors.

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.
