Master Rosario,

All backhand-block shots hitting the ball right front of the body?

Or sometimes there is possibility to do left or right?

Thank you.

Hi Il,

You should make the shot from in front of your body whenever possible.  This will give you the best chance to see the line of the ball and get control of the shot as well.

Only if you are really caught for time should you then hit the ball from outside the line of your body.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
