At this point 1/2 the length of the table is an accomplishment, but your exhibition inspires me to persevere.
Keep at it and it will come. Repetition, focus and time is really the only way to improve. There are no shortcuts for those of us that are not naturally gifted myself included, just hard work

Your absolutely correct on staying down and follow through, it is key. Often I see players short stroking the ball or jumping up and then wondering at the adverse result.
