Strokes
Swapnil Sharma Asked 1 year ago
Hi Coach Alois
During match I see that I do not play the full stroke, particularly topspin against backspin or return by pimple player.
What can be done to get it corrected? I have my video clip how can I share that.
Thanks Coach Alois

Hi Swapnil,
I'm glad you're looking to improve your game. Playing full strokes with commitment is a vital part of becoming an effective table tennis player. To get it corrected, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure your footwork is correct. This means always being in a good position to play your stroke, whether it's a forehand or backhand. Then, focus on making sure you have proper contact with the ball. Finally, practice your stroke precisely. Doing this on a regular basis can help you develop the necessary muscle memory and accuracy to ensure you react properly to any given situation.

How should I play whenever I am out of position? against pimple players, the ball always seems to be out of my hitting range even when I try to move.
The ball return from pimple players comes back softer, it does not bounce forward as much. Also there is a difference between short and long pimples returns.
There is good stuff in previous posts on this. Basically we need to stand closer to the table.
