What is the right position in making a countersmash?

Hi Brian,

You need to be a little away from the table to allow yourself to see the ball and react.

Usually you will need to be quite straight on to the table because you need to cover both the forehand and backhand sides.

Make sure you are in a good balanced position to be abel to move quickly either way.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
