Hi Henry,

Table tennis can become a really complex game when you start to think about the different angles and spins that you need to counteract.

The best teacher in these situations is experience.  You will start to understand the angles you need to make to get the most effective strokes including serves.

We have several lessons on spin and strokes that try to simplify the process.  Take a look through the Strokes & Techniques section as well as the Serving Secrets and Receiving Secrets sections for Premium members.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
