Hi Alois,
Firstly, thank you for answering my recently asked question, I just need a little help for now in my table position because when i play, I go SQUARE-ON the table, in the Middle of the table,please help me with my positioning, because when my enemy attacks on the 3rd ball he makes a good backhand topspin and the ball going to my backhand corner, i cant catch it, please help me.

Hi Leonardo,
Standing quite square on should be OK for the backhand block. If the ball is going wider to your backhand, then you need to move your legs across behind the line of the ball to make the stroke easier for yourself.

The Finish Position
There are 3 basic areas to focus on when learning a stroke: 1) The position of your feet. 2) The starting position of your bat. 3) The finishing position of your bat. Of all these 3 elements the finish position is the most critical. Watch this video to find out why.
