French term or phrase: ajuster le bon geste gagnant

Some able-bodied people are trying to experience what it is like to play handicapped table tennis:

Les matchs se sont déroulés autour d’une table, les joueurs étant assis sur des chaises de bureau à roulettes. Malgré quelques pros du ping-pong, les participants ont pu constater la difficulté à se déplacer et à ajuster le bon geste gagnant. C’était une belle expérience dont nous gardons tous un bon souvenir…à renouveler. »
