Brushing or Hitting The ball

Strokes

Johnny Long Asked 10 years ago

Hey. I'm just a bit unsure about brushing the ball or hitting the ball more. I am a beginner, so should I put more momentum / speed into my attack strokes or brush them more? Or is this just a personal preference?

Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

Have a combination of both spin and speed. To start with though keep your stroke slower and with less spin and aim for consistency to be able to get a lot of balls on the table in a row.

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.
