Hi Bob,

First of all you need to make sure you can control the ball well before trying to use too much power.  Perhaps your coach was trying to tell you that you need to control your power a little more.

Power is a wonderful thing until the ball starts missing the table.  Then you need to take one step back and get the ball on the table again.
