Hi Trilochan,

You need practice and experience in watching the ball and jufging its flight. Yu need to watch when the ball is lon gand when it is short and too low.

If teh ball is too low it is best to make a push or flick stroke.

Hi Trilochan,

Even i suffer from the same problem. But by practicing the topspin vs backspin drills i am improving in the low ball topspin. Earlier i was afraid to hit a topspin on it as it would sometimes lead to racquet hitting the table, hand scrubbing off the edge of the table, but with more practice now i am able to put these balls away with a good topspin shot. It feels like job well done.

Good luck.
