Strokes
I have a massive problem with my running forehand.
Maybe you know the running forehand from the Falkenberg exercise where you have to running into your backhand corner and topspin with FH. I always miss the shot (hitting the edge of my bat or not even hitting the ball).
How can I improve this kind of shot in order keep my opponent away from the table.
