a tip that i've learned from playing a lot of better old dudes, is that in driving, they said not to use the middle of the rubber, but the closer part near your handle, but like the bottom corner. and i've noticed that this guy also hits his drives in that fashion so i'm guessing you get more power/spin that way?
If you hit the ball close to your handle, you will give less spin. If you hit the ball far away from the handle, you give more spin. This is simply cuz the movement of the upper part of the bat is faster than the lower part, like when you turn around with your arms stretched, your hands will cover the most distance.
The placement off the ball close to the handle is often used to make the opponent think a spinny ball is coming cuz of the movement, but then its not much spin at all.
thanks, this is exactly what im working on. i wish my backhand was as good as my forehand. then i'd be realllly good. a good racket is key if u have good technique.
i love playing forhand topspin then keep the rally, when they r guite far back i play a short (close to net) backspin shot with my backhand, obviously i cant do it always but i love doing it when i can i always reel in the points
No. Jim is however a fully qualified coach with the English Table Tennis Association (ETTA). He is also an ETTA Coach for training and assessing people who want to be coaches.
I have been labeled as a table tennis pro now for 3 years, i have played in world wide tournaments, i have never won, but i have won states 5x. I found these videos to be the BEST free videos on the internet. I highly recommend these videos to new players, and experienced players alike .
After speaking with Jim, for this shot you hit the ball in the centre of the blade. Important to consider if you want to create topspin is the part of the ball you hit and this should be the top third of the ball and not the back of the ball and thats why Jim discusses in the videos closing the angle of the bat slightly; the position of the elbow should also be a little lower towards the body which bends the wrist and the wrist should always be used when top spinning. Hope this helps.
