When I go to club and play with my friends and other players , I’m better than most of them and I can beat them 3-0 or 4-0 . But when I play in a tournament with those players I feel scared even if the other player is a lot weaker than me. Ali.

You show how to execute different strokes, and watching and trying to repeat your moves works well for players who are almost as high as you are. I wonder what adjustments should a player do if he is seemingly lower or higher? Roman.

You know the backhand block executed with the wrist movement when the bat curves the ball on its side and decreases its spin and speed. I’m wondering if the same kind of stroke can be executed on the forehand side? Evgeny.

How to make an effective backhand serve and what about the toss should it be lower or higher? Dario.

Hi Alois and Jeff I tend to have a lot of difficulty with looping half long balls with backspin as they go too high over the net and my opponent can just block it or smash it down. How do i achieve a low arc when this happens? Shea.

Hello, I’m trying to develop a serve that just nicks the table, is this legal? Thanks. George.

As I play short pimples on backhand I have recently begun to wonder if it would be good to turn my bat during a rally and hit the ball with my short pips but on my forehand side. What do you think, is it a good idea to train on that? Fredrik.

I saw when professional players get serves to their forehand they often move over and return it with their backhand. Should I start practicing returning serves that come to my forehand with my backhand or should I practice my forehand more? David.

I have an 11 year old son I am trying to teach table tennis. We practice about once a month and we have been doing that for a while but not making much progress. I feel I should teach him how to consistently bounce the ball. Can you tell me how? Fatih.

Hi guys, just to ask what serves did you both use in your careers? Also can you tell me what serves encourage a forehand return? Sasha.

Hi Jeff and Alois, I often practice to attack backspins with a topspin using a Donic robot, but because of these exercises I tear my rubbers against the table at least twice a month. What I am doing wrong? Stanislav.

Against beginners when I play my full loop I miss more because it feels like their ball has nothing on it and my ball just flies into space. It's got to the point where unless the player p uts a lot of pace or spin I'm afraid to do a full forehand. Peter C.

I was bored waiting, so I did some wall practice, it got faster, after a few minutes I noticed my eyes were adjusting to the speed then, we played table tennis I got a winning streak of 6 matches. What other warmups are effective. Jigo.

Hello, I want to ask: How can I return a fast topspin stroke without blocking it? What are the options? Thanks, Tibor.

Can you give me tips on the traditional pen-hold backhand topspin? I tried gripping the handle a little further from the face, curling my three fingers, and twisting the paddle so the forehand side is facing down, but to no avail. Table Tennis Guy

I sometimes tend to lean back when I loop or drive. I'm guessing it’s a problem with me shifting weight from right to left and instead keeping the weight on my right leg forcing me to lean back to take the shot. I'm not sure though. Justin

Can you say that drills are essential or are plenty of matches required to become a good table tennis player? Meet Master

If both sides of the blade has same rubber glued to it e.g. Xiom Vega Pro is on both sides of a blade then can they be both of same color or they should be black and red? Please guide me according to ITTF rules. Muhammad

Sir, as I play table tennis, while playing too fast the ball sometimes hits my fingers and the whole game goes wrong. So how to prevent it? Rishabh

I was having problems with countering services with combined spin like the topspin with sidespin services. How to counter them? Pat

My coach told me to hold the bat differently when i am serving, but in my last competition i felt that i didn't manage to change the grip on the bat fast enough after i am serving, so when my opponent returns my serve. David

I am facing difficulty while countering the high returns bouncing just on the end of the table. I often play close to the table and I have an attacking style of play. I know this is an unusual weakness but can you guide me how counter these. Mukul

How do you play deceptive shots? Do you have any tricks?

I've asked and also found a lot of information about getting a lot of spin on my serve but my serve only has a little spin on it. I’ve also tried to brush the ball finely and fast an d also the contact point is on the end of the bat. Frendy

What are the best but well priced table tennis tables to get? Adam

I have played Table tennis for about 4 years and 6 months ago my coach said that i should try short pimples on my backhand, i have become a much better player thanks to it but for some rea son i cant block with it very good when doing drills. Fredrik
