Hi Alois, 

How do I return a really heavy backspin shot that sits up close to the net not like a drop but in the middle of the table.

Hi Josh,

You still have to allow for the backspin even if it sits up.  You can push it back or you can try to attack it if is is high enough.  The higher one can be tricky because it lures you into trying to hit it hard.  Always allow for the backspin by opening the angle of your bat whether you are pushing, flicking or topspinning this ball.

Hello, i am a beginner in tt and find ur website really helpful. Specially the structure of the coirse and the way you are preparing the videos.
