Dear  Sir
 
While training for consistency, THE FOREHAND DRIVE to my opponents back hand side, ball gets stuck up on net, while executing  the same stroke to my opponents forehand and middle side ball easily gets over the net and lands on the table correctly.
Can you please advise me how to over come the shortcoming!
 
Regards-

Hi Pradeep,

When you are playing the ball down the line to their backhand side it is a shorter distance.  So you need to put a little more topspin on the ball to get the ball up and down over the net and on the table.

Also play the ball slower to start with till you get used to the distance.

The forehand smash is used when the ball is around shoulder height or above. It is a much harder stroke to play than it looks. Follow the tips on this video lesson to ensure your smash is an effective weapon.
