Difficulties while playing Offence

Strokes

Hi coach !

I'm a beginner in table tennis and I feel I'm quite good at defence. I'm easily able to chop or block the fast and heavy topspins. But whenever occurs a moment where I need to smash the ball or do a fast topspin, I don't feel confident enough and I pull back. So how can I overcome this fear?

Thanks in advance,

Shyam Prasad

HI Shyam,

Do the stroke slowly at first.  Make sure you are getting the feel of the action.  Take a look at the Forehand Topspin Against Block video first and get their correct.  Then as you feel more comfortable after a week or more then you can start playing a little faster ensuring you keep the same stroke technique.  Look at the video on the Advanced Forehand Topspin for help with this one.
