How do you get the ball deep?

Hi Patrick,

When you are aiming to get the ball deep don't be afraid to go long off the end of the table.

It is like if you are aiming on a dart board your shots will go left, right, high and low.  So when you are aiming at a spot at the end of the table don't be worried if the balls also goes long as well as short, left and right.

You can put a target on the table to help you with your focus.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
