Strokes

Rohan Keogh Asked 8 years ago

Hi guys. Once I'm comfortable with the most important skill (keeping the ball on the table) what are the first strokes/shot I should develop and perfect? It is a drive, loop, block, what?

Cheers

Thanks Jeff. I had a close look at the video list and the progression logic is clear. What level of consistency should I aim for in each stroke before introducing a new one?

You don't need a strict target, and sometimes it's good to try and sneak ahead a little bit but as a guide try to get 20 balls on in a row.
