Hi Noumanfaiz,

When you are training focus on how close to the edges you can get.  This will mean that you shouldn't worry if the ball just misses the side of the table.  This needs to happen if you are wanting to improve your ability to get the ball close to the edge.

In a match you can give yourself a little more margin for error.
