Playing down the line
Strokes
Jaydeep Makwana Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I can consistently hit a forehand topspin/loop diagonally across the table i.e. from my right corner to receivers right corner, but the problem is that I'm unable to hit it straight down the line i.e. from my right hand corner to the receivers left corner as well from my left corner to the receivers left corner.
Can you advise/demonstrate a finishing position and stance that i should practice to make the stroke possible in game as well as any tips or tricks that can help.
Thanks a lot
JD
