i've started table tennis about two month ago.

And i've been watching free lesson of this site everyday.( all pages ^^)

And it's really helpful for me. And great thanks to both teachers.

I have one question about wrist angle of forehand stroke of shakehand grip.

My coach ask me to bend the wrist to downword making the end of racket pointing right side

( parallel to the earth surface ) which make me uneasy and feel pain on my wrist.

Is this correct way for forehand stroke ?

Hi,

That is the correct way of having your wrist.  Try to relax your wrist more as this is actually a natural position of the wrist.  When it is relaxed it will get into this position.

Thanks for your kind words about the site.
