How does the fh and bh stroke change when your playing 1.5 -2 m from the table?

Hi Mat,

As you get further away from the table you can lengthen your strokes because you have more time and you also need more power to generate a strong shot from back there.  Your body can be more side on again because you have a little more time.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
