Summary: <h4>Our Response to Yesterdays #QOTD - 0:53</h4> <p> </p> <h4>PingSkillers Question of the Day - 2:40</h4> <p>What percentage of your serves are short as opposed to long?</p> <h4>Question 1 - 3:00</h4> <p>I like to attack when the ball is long or high. However my footwork is not that good and topspins are not consistent. People suggest that I should not try to topspin everything. Sometimes if I play more passively I win more points. What’s better? Ilia</p> <h4>Question 2 - 7:25</h4> <p>Have u heard of Desmond Douglas? Lloyd Taylor</p> <h4>Question 3 - 10:07</h4> <p>I was playing in a tournament at my local club and one of my opponents was blocking the view of the contact with his free hand. He would likely have beaten me anyway, but I had no chance to return service effectively with him blocking my view. Gary McAdams</p> <h4>Question 4 - 12:53</h4> <p>I have been playing tt for 2 years but haven't improved much because I haven’t had proper guidance. When doing forehand topspin I can't get the length right or transfer my weight. I have improved during shadow play but how to improve in practice? Raut</p> <h4>Question 5 - 16:00</h4> <p>Can you tell me how I should practice my high toss serve. Sometimes I dont even get the bat to hit the ball while its falling. When I practice the serve should I practice for about 45 minutes.
