Distance from the table
Strokes
Carlos Alvarez Acosta Asked 13 years ago
Hi, I sometimes feel that I hit the ball too early, and I wonder if going a little further from the table would help me hitting the ball at the right time. At least it should help me by losing some effect from the opponent.
Could you give me some hints on where should I play?
Thank you

Hi Carlos,
FInd a distance that is comfortable for you. Everyone has their own preference. If you find you are being rushed then step a little further away from the table. If you find that you have a lot of time then challenge yourself by stepping in a bit closer.
Take a look at our lesson on the Basic Stance to get some general tips on where to stand.
