Strokes
how do i counter back a ball that go straight then suddenly turn to left or right ?
Hi Andreas,
If the ball goes to the side it has sidespin. You need to watch the ball in flight carefully to see the changes in direction. Then if the ball moves to the left you need to angle your bat to the left to counter the sidespin that is on the ball and vice versa for the ball spinning to the right.
Experiment with the angles of your bat to get it just right.
The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
