More theorycrafting and I will test it on the table maybe these few days. I can probably even make chiquita work with this grip as you do get a lot of swing power from the forearm supination and extension. I can easily get into the chiquita backswing stance with the blade pointed towards the...

This is essentially the tiger wing grip I think which is super different from the conventional shakehand since the thumb and index finger are on the same side. With shakehand the thumb and index finger works as a lever arm pair to exert force from the fingers, which is what most ppl have been...

If you can short push high topspin balls you can short push anything lol. It is a matter of how to absorb momentum to the sides (dont think about hitting the ball).

Yes it is the same concept basically, except that he uses some kind of exotic grip. I'm merely trying to use this with conventional shakehand grip.

I used to play Viscaria + both sides D05, but now I play Viscaria + D05 FH and Butterfly super anti BH. I am pretty aggressive with the anti and am having quite a bit of fun with it! Cant wait for my next play session where I can just incorporate the UFO BH topspin lol

i love how everyone is so enthusiastic about a blatant ad lol

I would prefer it if everyone plays with double inverted. But since it is not banned, it is even more fun to just join the chaos and troll everyone with the dark side combination play (pips/anti).

There are a lot of ideas to this - this naturally does a BH fade topspin to the ball without using the body to adjust which can be very devastating for the opponent who suddenly needs to deal with a super wide angle fast topspin shot to their wide FH just like Harimoto's fav shot. This would...

With this new grip, you can simply return to the standard shakehand grip by pressing on the index finger to straighten it (which also rotates the blade clockwise). Since the fingertip position is exactly the same between the traditional shakehand grip, the switch can be super fast between...

This is not a Seemiler grip which has more limitations with conventional BH shots, and also has the issue where you can't get back to the conventional shakehand grip afterwards. The seemiler grip has the index finger tip on the sides of the blade or even on the other side (ie instead of index...

After some experimentation at home, I found a pretty good way to get the blade angle for this "UFO" shot without adjusting the grip too drastically. So what I did was to curl the index finger while maintaining the tip of the index finger at its original position (this is important otherwise you...

Theorycrafting on the BH topspin with the FH inverted side (the "UFO" stroke), i just did some shadow strokes and it seems like it would be amazing for fade topspins since it naturally contacts the right side of the ball as opposed to the conventional BH topspin which is much easier to contact...

Not sure why Sabine did so little chopblocks and BH anti play - she was just FH pivoting all the time and getting punished bad due to it. Not too experienced with glanti but is it not possible to do pretty off the bounce powerful topspins off backspin balls with glanti? I found it pretty easy to...

Please ask more about the "UFO" shot! I believe if combination players have access to this shot it would be a real gamechanger since we can now produce all varieties of balls from the BH side, even full on countertopspins.

Ti Long for sure. A lot of the others dont teach mechanics as well as he does, sorry.

Against nospin short serves: For double inverted players, strongest receive is to just chiquita it, you can select whatever placement you want and aim it to the most difficult places for your opponent. You can do either spinny or powerful chiquitas. Second strongest receive is to FH pushflick...

If she can transition so fast, I suspect the grip changes are not that crazy, and this would be super advantageous in actual matchplay.

Need some instructions here too, am very interested in this!

Lol why not just join the gang.

from my experience contacting at rear does reduce the spin somewhat but it will still have at least moderate backspin on it if the racket speed is similarly high, it's not gonna be no spin. If you push it assuming it has heavy backspin it will pop up a bit but it's not gonna be an easy kill...
