Aiming loops

Strokes

When I watched a video of me playing I noticed that all of my loops were going to the middle of the table,  Ma Long is able to control his and I was wondering how do you do it?

Hi Luke,

When you are training, put some targets on the table where you want the ball to land.  This will help you to focus on the areas you are aiming for.  The only way to improve this is with focused practice.  The better you get the smaller the targets that you can aim for.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
