Shortening length of loop drives
Strokes
Henry Yam Asked 13 years ago
I want to be able to hit wider angles over the table. Is there a way to making your loop drives go shorter?

Hi Henry,
When you are wanting to hit the ball wider one of the key things is to hit the ball earlier so that you can get the angle from your hitting position. When the ball is further away from the net it is harder to get the angle.
You could also add a little sidespin on the ball to get the ball away from your opponent. This is a more advanced skill though and one that may lead to more errors.
