Strokes
Hi Jeff, Alois,
Firstly thanks for the wonderful videos and explanation.
Whenever I am trying to hit a fast forehand top spin or a forehand smash, my left shoulder falls down. Then I either hit the ball on to the net or try to push it further and miss the table. What can I do to make sure that my left shoulder does not fall away?
I am a right handed player ofcourse :)
Hoping for your tip soon.

Try to practice the movement of rotating you body through your waist. A lot of players do tip like a teapot rather than rotate.
You can practice this without the ball to start with. Get into a position with bent knees and a wide stance, like your ready position and then rotate. Then as you get the feeling of the rotation, you can start to ad your forehand swing in. Give this a try and see what happens.
