Sweet Spot

Strokes

Karlo Perhat Asked 15 years ago

For the forehand and backhand drive, loops, and smashes should i always use the tip of racket. or should i use the part closer to my finger, or the middle of my racket?

Hi Karlo,

You should aim for the middle of the racket in most cases. You could get the contact a little closer to the end of the racket as long as it isn't too close to the end, as most bats have an area around the middle that feels best or the 'Sweet Spot'.

I would definitely not be tending to hit the ball closer to the handle though.

Banana Flick

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
