1. Keep your stance angled toward the table with your free arm pointed toward the ball.
2. Rotate your body to the back to add power to the ball, so rotate the upper body away and transfer your weight onto your back foot, moving your
arm straight back.
3. Throw the ball vertically upward so that it rises at least 6 inches above your hand.
4. Hit the ball at the peak of the bounce, adding speed at impact to impart spin.
5. Stand with the dominant foot slightly back, and rotate the upper body to accentuate the motion of the paddle.
6. Sweep your arm forward from your chest, letting the paddle swiftly brush underneath the ball at its peak.
7. Your body should be positioned in line with the ball, rather than reaching to the side with your arm.
8. Balance the ball on the palm of your free hand with the hand open.
9. Waist should bend forward and lift upward as you move your paddle arm forward and upward, hitting the ball at the top of its bounce and completing the forward and upward motion.
10. You do a smaller backswing, rotating your wrist forward through the range of motion, and keep your paddle open to brush beneath the ball.
