Hi coach, how to control the direction of the forehand stroke so that we can use it to control the ball in the direction we want with a similar looking forehand stroke to get the point in a game. Thanks.

Hi Shrihari,

You can use the angle of your wrist to change the direction of the ball.  By maintain the same stroke and changing the angle of the wrist you can get the ball to land anywhere on the table and make it more difficult for your opponent to tell where the ball is going.
