Posted on Butterfly Table Tennis Question and AnswerQuestion:
When doing a forehand or backhand topspin: should our top edge of the racket or the head of the racket be leading the swing? In other words should our racket swing or swing path be in direction of the head of the racket or top edge of the racket?
I have read that the optimal ball contact with racket is more towards the top edge and head of the racket, but whatever I do, almost all ball marking(my ball contact) is towards bottom edge of the racket! How should I fix this problem?

Hi Waheed,The right position for the forehand or backhand loop:
Your knees should be bent a little and your back should not be straight up
Take the ball from the highest point with the middle of the blade
Move your arm with your waist forward
The following video will show how I move and how I hit the ball – https://youtu.be/tu8__3nAkmoThank you, Coach Rachid
