Straight Ahead

Strokes

JOSEPH JUNEAU Asked 13 years ago

I have a tendency to hit a no spin ball over the end of the table. Should I hit it more straight ahead?

Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago

Hi Joseph,

If yo are hitting the ball too long against the no spin ball then get your bat moving more forward. Also you can change the angle of your bat to cover the ball a little more. It doesn't take much of an adjustment.
