@jeffcalloway90 We sell a DVD called Receiving Secrets Revealed on our website that goes into this in detail. Take a look on our website for more information.

Is there a equivalent stroke on the backhand.. i am trying to learn it but cant find any videos.

[pingskills]

@kevinqew We don't have a video on this yet but the principle is the same. If you brush the ball on the side you will generate the sidespin.

Thumbs up, If you think if the ball turns white then orange

@Vietnampenner Lefties rule :)

@Sk8ingGuitarplayer I haven't used those myself. If you want to ask a question about this on our website we can open it up to our readers and they can give you their thoughts. Just go to the ask the coach section and you can submit a question.

@pingskills ill try placement more often. and i use geospin tackyu and gambler reflectoid. and do u think they are too slow?

[pingskills]

@Sk8ingGuitarplayer Try thinking about your placement. If you play the ball out wide or into their middle you may get a different result. If you can play the topspin very consistently then you could consider getting a faster rubber. If you want a more detailed answer try using the ask the coach section of our website. There's more room there to answer your questions.

I need help, i can do the topspin fine and they are really spinny, but people keep returning them back for some reason, i will hit the ball my hardest and it will still come back, is my rubber too slow? i will do my fastest loop and it comesback. how do i prevent this?

I have been playing table tennis for like 10 year, training and competitons, but never heard anyone say this and explaning it to me, Thanks!

[pingskills]

@narutosaenz Thanks. Yes most of our lessons are for the shakehand grip. However most of the principles are the same for both grips so you should still be able to take a lot out of each lesson.

[narutosaenz]

i like your channel but most of your tutorials are for shakehand grip and i use penhold..

[Dailycrafting]

@Thebubblegum07 Good question. Basically you would alter you normal block a little bit to counter the sidespin.

[Thebubblegum07]

Great post pingskills! I've been trying to work on my "hook" loop for a while now and this video makes it really easy to understand where I was going wrong.

[pingskills]

@iandemagi It sure is a great shot. Basically he is just taking the principles mentioned here and executing them extremely well!
