Good morning

How to avoid unforced error in a match? I played table tennis tonight and my friend said that I do too many unforced error, like failing in making attack strokes.

Hi Erriza,

Often it is about slowing down or placing the ball closer to the middle of the table to stop making mistakes.

Think about whether this is beneficial to your game or not. In some cases it is especially if you are playing against a player that is lower level than you.
