Hi, coach!

What do you think about the following robot:

Will it help to improve technique of strokes? I remember that you said stationary ball doesn't help. Will training with such machine damage technique?

Hi ardak,

I think these are good to start with for a few minutes but the real skill is to hit a moving ball that is coming towards you and still get that contact.

Forehand Followup

Once you've played a topspin off a backspin ball, the next forehand topspin can prove very difficult. I often see people hitting the followup forehand off the end of the table. Watch this master class to see why I think this happens and how to adjust so you can make an effective forehand followup!
