But how can I strengthen my knee as it hurts? Can I stretch it out or what else can I do? Please help me :) Brock</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/counterhit-on-wide-forehand/">Question 3</a> - 9:00</h4> <p>While my FH topspins, BH and footwork improved quite a bit I still struggle with consistent, powerful counter hitting after moving from BH to FH side. My coach insists on this stroke as a follow up after a pivot FH topspin or BH topspin. Matthias</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/using-2-different-bats/">Question 4</a> - 10:56</h4> <p>I was wondering if it's a good method to use 2 bats, 1 for training (slower bat) and the other (faster bat) for spare time? Because I'm a very offensive player. Benjamin</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/is-motivation-important/">Question 5</a> - 12:31</h4> <p>Do you think that it is good to have a motivation in order to win? Everyone is continuously telling me that I have to be motivated and believe in myself on order to be good. But they also constantly condemning my defensive style. DK</p> <h4>Question 6 - 14:31</h4> <p>When someone sidespins the ball, I must move my bat to the side but I do that but it just goes over the table, what am i doing wrong? Brock</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/long-pips-vs-no-spin/">Question 7</a> - 15:31</h4> <p>I have a problem with returning no spin serves with my long pips backhand. I can do anything I want but the ball is always high and the opponent just smashes it. I am also trying to twiddle, but the result is always the same. Do you have any advice? DK</p> <p> </p>
