Finish height
Strokes
Cam Suino Asked 12 years ago
i have noticed that most beginner's attempt to apply too spin and their finish is really low. It's like they curl over the top of the ball and finish in a downward swoop. How does someone help them learn to finish forward and higher?

Hi Cam,
Really focus on the finish. Get them to stop at the end of their stroke and check where it is.
Start with some slow strokes totally focusing on the finish position.

Banana Flick
The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.

you do a little topspin when you finish height, no? ( forehand )
Yes you can generate better topspin by finishing higher.

And is it bad when I make a downward swoop?
For me,it is the only option how to avoid the ball flying far behind the table.
