Hi Dan and Tom, I’m having problems with the BH open up. It’s not consistent at all, mostly goes out of the table. I’m using my legs and dropping low. What else should I do to improve this shot?

Hey! Ok so have a look at your timing, maybe the ball is dropping to low or you a r rushing and taking it to early off the bounce. Make sure you are getting it near the top of the bounce. Also make sure that your wrist and arm are relaxed, a lot of the time players get tense and if you do the ball can fly out as you lose the brush and the contact on the ball. So make sure you are relaxed and using the wrist well in the shot tk brush the ball.
The last thing it might be is your body position and lifting up as you hot the shot which we see quote often, so make sure you are keeping your body forward and weight down in the shot and not lifting up or getting off balance as you play the shot.
