Hello Coach,

How can I return a drop ball near the net but I am standing at the normal position?

Hi Mudh,

The first important thing is to move closer to the ball. The best way is to move your right foot right under the table as far as you can.  . I like to think about getting my nose as close to the ball as possible.

From this position you can make a Push our a Flick stroke.
