Strokes

When I hit the ball with my backhand, the ball always goes to the net. Why?

Hi Daniel,

Try changing the bat angle a bit.  If you are confident you have the stroke looking like it should by copying our lesson on The Backhand Counterhit then you may need to open the angle of your bat a little.  By open I mean face it more to the roof.  This may only need a very small adjustment.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
