    ● Backhand - a stroke done directly in front of the body, with the racket turned so that the
    back of the hand faces the opponent.
    ● Topspin - a type of spin where, if struck with a normal racket position, the ball would
    travel over the opposite side of the table without hitting the surface.
    ● Chop - a defensive shot that carries a tremendous amount of backspin.
    ● Smash/Kill - an offensive, high-speed shot used against high balls, where the racket is
    in a normal position to generate the most speed possible.
    ● Penhold - a grip where the racket is held exactly as it sounds, with the racket handle
    held straight up and down.

    BASIC SKILLS
    ● Grips - it controls the angle of the racket. Angle control height, depth, speed, and
    direction of ball.
    ○ Penhold - one grips the racket similarly to the way one holds a writing
    instrument.
    ○ Shakehand - one grips the racket similarly to the way of handshaking.
    ● Table Tennis Strokes
    ○ Forehand Push - By pushing short, your opponent will not be able to take a
    full swing at the ball. Also imparts backspins.
    ○ Backhand Push - a defensive stroke using backspin to make it hard for your
    opponent to attack.
    ○ Forehand Topspin - Is one of the most fun strokes to play. And once you
    learn how to impart a strong topspin on the ball, it will become a very consistent
    stroke.
    ○ Backhand Topspin - it should be learnt at the same time as the forehand
    topspin. By being able to play such an aggressive shot from your backhand
    side, your opponent will find it difficult to stop you gaining the initiative.
    ○ Forehand Block - It is used against an attacking topspin
    ○ Backhand Block - a more defensive shot, used to control incoming speed
    and spin shots from your opponent.
    ○ Forehand Smash - It is used as an attacking stroke to try and win the point.
    The most common mistake we see players make with the forehand smash, is
    failing to get themselves into position
    ○ Serve - involves tossing the ball up at least 6 inches before striking it, ensuring it
    bounces on the server's side first, then over the net, and onto the opponent's
    side.
