Strokes
Hi Alois, on my attacking forehand topspin strokes, is it ok that when i get to my finish position to open the angle of my bat while getting to it or it should stay the same angle? because i feel more comfortable with it and when i keep the same angle, i have to adjust each time and my brain hurts a bit for thinking too much, if i can, should i start doing the stroke slowly? because i also see professional players like ma long opening the angle of his bat when following through, but of course he finishes too high. So what do you think i should do? i will also get my first training partner next week, so i will be able to train my consistency.
Thanks for reading!
Hi Pasquale,
I like to keep the bat the same angle through the stroke which makes it easier to get consistency with the stroke.
That is exciting that you will have a training partner because I know this is something that you have been struggling with.
The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.

Persevere and it will start to feel comfortable.
