Hi Siddhartha,

Try to brush the ball more on the contact.  This will give the ball more topspin which will get the ball to dip onto the table better.  This will stop it from going off the table.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.

YOu brush the ball but it doesn't have to be faster for more control.  You also don't need to finish more in front.  Just take a look at the lesson we have on the topspins and check out the finish positions.
