I am trying it with flat bat position but as the ball goes away from me or close to chest I can't control the ball to the corner although ball is on the table.</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/footwork-drills-2/">Accuracy in Drills</a> - 19:47</h4> <p>Yap: My friends and I are very bad at blocking the ball accurately.
