you are welcome ! Its easier to do than you think OSPH , we have this mindset that prevents us from closer to the table and underestimate the quality of the stroke when you take stuff off the bounce and early , mainly because we think our reflexes are not good enough, not understand that taking time away from the opponent is an easier solution than trying to hit through them and , because its off the bounce there is not "aha" arc in the ball ... I am myself guilty of these things but I have seen wonders happening with apparently lesser quality strokes when I am closer to the table ...
there are two approaches , the one favored by modern coaches where they teach you smaller strokes from the outset and the other one , which even waldner talked about in his interviews somwhere, which goes like if you have mastered the bigger stroke and you are good enough you will be able to adjust the size of the stroke when you are closer to the table ... it will take a little time but you will get it .. just be water my friend
good luck !
