Hi Alois,

I recently played table tennis in our school. I don't understand, why is my forehand spin is not consistent even my backhand. i want to know how is the proper position when striking a forehand and backhand? when my friend serves in my forehand i want to spin it but the ball is going out  from the table.. 

We've played a tournament last month and i was in second place but while i was practicing and preparing for our next tournament i discovered that my forehand and backhand has changed. please help me to improve again my forehand spin, backhand spin, and also when serving.. 

THANK YOU!! 

Sincerely,

johnpaul

Hi Johnpaul,

Watch these two lessons and take particular note of the start and finish positions that you need to get your bat into.  If you do that consistently the ball will start to go on the table more consistently.
