Dealing with sidespin lobs
Strokes
Linus Koh Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois,
I am an offensive player who has a problem with dealing with sidespin lobs, so could you give me some advice to deal with this type of lob? And best still, can you answer with a video reply?

Hi Linus,
I think the best thing is to wait for the ball to spin and then make a direct smash onto the table. Don't rush your stroke. You will have plenty of time. You then need to move your feet into position to make the stroke.

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.
