How to aim better
Training and Drills
Vishal Acharya Asked 7 years ago
How do I play a shot consistently to almost the exact same spot? Is there any tips with which I can achieve this? Because every time I try it there will be a lot of gap between the place where the ball bounces. Is there anything like bat angle or something?

Hi Vishal,
The best way to practice this is to put a small target on the table and practice trying to get closer. Start with a bigger target and as you become more accurate, change it to a smaller target.
The key is the angle of your racket but this will adjust naturally when you have a target on the table.
When you are doing it focus on the ball rather than the target. The target isn't moving but the ball is.

:) I really like this simple reminder Alois. All too often when I mishit a stroke, even in training, I realise I was looking at where I thought the ball was going (the result) rather than at the ball itself (the contact). Every time I correct that, I strike the ball well and it goes where I intended, without me having to look there. It isn't an easy habit to break though.
