| Time to complete the explanation for another basic stroke of table tennis, this time the forehand smash vs lob - front view. It's been a few years since I posted my side view version of the smash, and it's interesting to note that my technique has changed over the years as I have attempted to improve my forehand in general. |

They say a change is as good as a holiday (and it's about as close as I'm likely to get!), so I thought I'd start up a new section called Two Minute Tips for Table Tennis.
The idea is to provide an area where readers looking to improve their game can find a number of short and effective tips that are easy to read, understand and apply. I'm kicking things off with a two minute tip entitled Pay Attention!, which seems kind of appropriate. |
