I try and suggest the salute action and play the ball with a little less force she is not happy. Any suggestions?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/start-position-of-arm/">Arm Height</a> - 13:33</h4> <p>Guy: What is the most effective height of the arm for being ready for the ball so i can hit the ball as low as possible. Should my arm be at the same height of the table?, below the table?, above the table?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/what-makes-a-shot-powerful/">What Makes a Shot Powerful?</a> - 15:03</h4> <p>Romeo: What makes a shot a finisher? I've arrived to the conclusion that these 3 things make a shot powerful: 1. Speed 2 Spin 3 Placement. I think there is more to it than these 3 things. Are there any other factors that makes a shot powerful?</p> <h4>Staying Composed When Losing Cheap Points - 17:38</h4> <p>Ilia: I don't get frustrated when an opponent outsmarts or outpowers me. But lost cheap points drive me mad, especially when the ball was high, I was in position and I missed the table. It makes me feel like all my training is wasted. How to cope with that?</p> <h4>Links in this Episode</h4> <p><a href="http://www.ittf.com/competitions/competitions2.asp?Competition_ID=2503&amp;category=WTTC">2015 ITTF World Table Tennis Championships</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ittf.com/ittv/">8 Tables Streaming Live</a></p> <p><a href="/TSRDrills.pdf">Training Drills Download</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/training-secrets/">Training Secrets Online Video Course</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/">Strokes &amp; Techniques Videos</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/serving-secrets/">Serving Secrets Online Video Course</a></p> <p> </p>
