I’m # 1 on this video but I’m mediocre with my skills as a Table Tennis player! I love playing win or lose. I just do my best! Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed watching!
As I watch your videos, I learn a lot of useful technique. I would like to try out this nice tactics-Forehand down the line in game. I really appreciate your uploading.
Keep saying it but again a very good video. This shot is usually a winner if executed correctly. Thanks Tom and please continue making great table tennis videos.
What is the main point to consider while sending a ball down the line? The distance is smaller. In fact, it is the shortest one. The solution? To increase this distance by hitting the ball as late as possible by hitting it “behind you” (as opposite to “in front of you”). In this way, by using the same technique and the power you do not send the ball in out. And, of course, one hits the ball a bit to the left from its center line.
The point is it is good to swich where you put your attacks to not get predictable and it is easier to put more power and spin if you are well positioned
If it comes very wide to your backhand, you need to move your feet and try and play the shot in front of your body. Then you could either block the ball back or counter-topspin.
Absolutely. I think most players - whether right or left handed - are better at dealing with cross--court balls, as they have returned these much more often in training and matches. So when you play down the line, there is an element of surprise. I have played a couple of lefties who are very good at attacking down the line and it is very hard to defend against.
The only way I can open my bat up enough to do this shot with the topspin I'm looking for, is to switch my grip to having all 4 fingers on the back of the bat. This works great, but has created a habbit where i now automatically goninto this strange forehand grip and I feel is probably going to limit my progression as my matches get faster by slowing my transition from backhand to forehand and back. With standard grip, I simply can't point the bat down the line and still achieve a high topspin return against an incoming topspin ball. Either the ball flies too high off of my bat, or I have to hit the very top or the ball closing my bat angle.
Move better and start moving when he hits and go to the direction where the ball is going don t wait first to bounce move before and be ready after the bounce

Can you do a video on the best position when serving plsss...Tq 😁😁
This totally depends on you and where you want to put the ball. Also where you wan to be after the serve to be ready for the next ball.
I’m a beginner and live in md looking for people to play with. Your videos are very helpful, thank you!
Dear Tom. Try putting your pointing finger a bit lower. It will really help on that fh to bh switch.
Спасибо, Том! Как всегда очень полезно!
Thanks for your help

Its very cool and useful for me. Hello from Ukraine!
Спасибо, Том!
Really useful
Very very effectively
Thanks sharing
Pls do how to return such topspin when ball comes on extreme backhand
If it comes very wide to your backhand, you need to move your feet and try and play the shot in front of your body. Then you could either block the ball back or counter-topspin.
Thnx coach
Hi Tom. Great video!
Thanks!
First comment. Wooo
Great vid. Thx Tom
Hey Tom, do you think this is effective for people that are left handed?
Absolutely. I think most players - whether right or left handed - are better at dealing with cross--court balls, as they have returned these much more often in training and matches. So when you play down the line, there is an element of surprise. I have played a couple of lefties who are very good at attacking down the line and it is very hard to defend against.
post more videos becuase all fans including me are waiting to see more interesting videos
More videos coming soon. I've just had a break for a couple of weeks, so will start editing the next videos next week.
