Stroke adjustments
Strokes
Sally Mander Asked 15 years ago
Hello
i am having some problem with my loop. The problem is I just dont know how fast and high to swing my bat.Sometimes it goes over the table far away, and sometimes hits the net. Can you tell me when to swing the bat really fast and high and when not to, including the distance between the ball and the net and amount of spin on the ball? Thx

Hi Sally,
This is a matter of hitting and adjusting. The stroke varies slightly with the type of ball you are receiving. A ball coming with more topspin will require you to come more over the ball with your stroke. If there is backspin you will need to have a more lifting stroke and swing the bat faster to counteract the spin.
The more topspin you generate the more distance you can have over th net and the bigger margin for error because the topspin will make the ball dip down onto the table faster.
You just need to hit lots of balls and be aware of what is happening to each ball.
