So I came across this video, and the ball is reacting really strangely off Boll's racket, it's almost as if the topspin didn't have any topspin in it or at least is very weak.
There's other moments like this at 3:07.
5:12 appears to be the same movement but the loop was so spinny...
How...
Sorry, this argument is completely invalid. Can you name any double inverted player who can win a Tour at 60 yr old?
It is only possible with the magic of pips to disrupt the opponent's game.
So this is kinda a common situation I face now (due to facing off against too many twiddling pips penholders).
I do an opening loop and it gets spin reversed (with my own spin) using the pips to form a kinda disgusting return that has quite a bit of underspin and sometimes side underspin and...
Finally someone is talking on the internet about the usefulness of the no spin loop which can be very devastating if you combine it with a heavy topspin loop. But I think PechPong is still not evil enough to try to disguise it with the normal loop by adding a fake wrist and supination/pronation...
I watched a few tutorials lately which gave me a some ideas about the theory of going against and with the spin and how it affects the ball.
Going against the spin is the basic approach to dealing with spin for inverted players. This tends to be able to neutralise the incoming spin very well...
How does this rubber compare to D05 and D09c? Heard some conflicting reviews on it.
The main thing I'm looking for is short game touch and spin quality on loops and durability.
Recently I'm starting to realise that with my style prioritising chiquita, FH flicks and spinny opening loops, I am getting into a lot of topspin rallies where I'm looping first.
However, even if I chiquita or loop first, if the opponent is fast/stable af on the block/counter game I'm always a...
Just wondering for all the penhold LPers here, what penhold blade do you use and why?
I'm thinking of potentially acquiring an actual penhold blade rather than using my spare Harimoto ALC at the moment to put on 388d-1 OX and Victas Spectol S1.
I've been recently bingeing all the videos from this channel because there are so few long pips tutorials out there, much less penhold long pips. I think the TPB chopblock is really not intuitive lol.
Im so pissed off with LP advantages that I'm planning to join the dark side too. So the plan is for my left hand to use penhold long pips while my right hand uses the full shakehand two wing inverted looping. This means that I enjoy the advantages of all sides. As far as I know, there are no...
Saw this posted on YouTube. This video made my short push 100x more reliable (before the switch to D05). You can use similar movement for the long push.
Key points: Don't use the wrist but the elbow to guide the ball. You shouldn't use the hand actively, and also there should be no arm...
I've been talking a lot about FH sideswipes or fades and it's one of my favourite receives.
imo this is one of the more nasty FH receives, the principle is the same as a FH pendulum serve. This produces either a sidetopspin or a sideunderspin depending on how you brush the ball.
I know the basics - long pips basically reverse spin on a push, so say if you served really heavy underspin it will most likely be a topspin and vice versa. However, after more plays against my combination penholder partner, one thing I noticed is that he actually manages to make a long pips...
I found this video (Coach Meng videos are just all worth their video length in gold) and I think I know why my BH is trash against high balls - the wrist and arm movement is just not correct as there's no mechanism to pull the ball downwards hard on the followthrough. It's quite a simple fix but...
This ties in amazingly well with a solid hook serve. So the idea is that, often people focus a lot on sidespin pushing on the hook serve which allows them to control the ball reasonably well just by adjusting angles here and there.
However, this version of the hook serve is pure topspin and...
My FH flick is strangely better against low to medium height short balls than it is for high short balls. I never managed to master the flick kill off a high short ball (I can do it if not more than like 2-3x net height). For some reason I also often can't execute the loopkill against it due to...
Why are all the best angles in the Contender series and not at all for the bigger events? I would be much happier if they could have for eg the WTTC filmed from this low diagonal angle
