Hello coach

Because of u i have won 10 consecutive games in school.  Its all because of your videos that i have been able to win such a great deal.But i have one question. How to put sidespin on the ball?  

How to put sidespin to to curve to the left and to the right?

Hope I didn't irritate u too much. I am a beginner so I ask so many questions.Hope u don 't mind?

Hi Akshat,

I am glad that you are doing so well in your matches.

To get sidespin you need to brush the ball sideways.  Try this away from the table first.  See if you can get the ball to curve in the air.  That means you are getting sidespin on the ball.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
