Hi Alois sir,

From many days i was really thinking of this question. Is it possible to put any ball in any part of the table, especially when opposite player is doing all different types of serve?

Hi Yashodhan,

Yes it is within reason given the landing position and the net being in the way.

The spin on the ball can be negated and the angle can be set up using your wrist and hand angle.
