I tried the FH flick and the BH banana but am caught out of position. Any tips?</p> <h4>2.0mm Mark V for Development - 14:13</h4> <p>Spamm20: 1: I have problems with short serves that look like they are long- i get ready to play a FH topspin, but than i cant play it.Should i just push? 2: I play the Mark V 1.8 on both sides, but i would like it 2.0 on my FH.Should i perfect my technique first?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/how-to-counterattack-2/">Counter Attacking</a> - 16:58</h4> <p>Tim: To counter attacks I usually try to block or chop the ball but this leads to me playing defensively. I am more comfortable attacking so how should I counterattack a topspin loop effectively? When I try it goes in the net or hits the edge of my bat.</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/development-plan-for-amateurs/">Attack Strategy for Professionals and Amateurs</a> - 20:25</h4> <p>Ilia: For an offensive player there are two ways to develop 1 Concentrate on forehand topspin and turn it into an overwhelming strength 2 Work on both forehand and backhand.
