What to do against a drop shot

Hi Yash,

You need to try and move forward as fast as possible.  It is important to get the ball as high as you can.  Sometimes this may mean that the ball ends up below the table level.  Then you should try to keep the ball as low and as deep as possible.  This will make it more difficult for your opponent to make a strong shot on the next ball.

If you get to the ball early and it is still quite high, then try to make a topspin stroke.

You can also take a look at our previous question on the Wobbly Shot in Table Tennis.
