Hi Alois and Jeff!

I have been wondering how do I get a ball to roll on the table to help me win points.

Thanks!

Hi Shaurya,

This is not something that you need to practice try and win points.  The number of times that this happens in a match is too small to really worry about.

We do have a fun video on this. The Around the Net Forehand Topspin will give you the clues to get the basics right but then to get it to roll you need to get the ball at just the right height.
