As a righty, you do not want to FH hook loop any clockwise sidespin balls....just loop it on the back to avoid the sidespin otherwise the contact will be too difficult to time. Have posted a lot of these in various threads. One thing i noticed is that you are not explosive when you recover your...

For me i fade the ball to get opposite sidespin to make the ball unreachable. Adjusting with the body - you can suddenly rotate to the left by pulling your left leg back or moving forward with your right leg. Moving forward with right leg is good for shorter balls and pulling left leg back is...

You adjust with the body, and a bit with the hand too. Watch the Butterfly Japan tutorials with Harimoto

Harimoto needs to train a BH loopkill against underspin. All the point patterns where he loses dramatically are basically ppl pushing long to his BH to invite his slow weak opening loop, and then counterloop it with heavy af spin to get the advantage in the rally. I remember that he used to...

This makes me really want to go back to inverted BH which allows me to use chiquita to immediately get an advantage. Antispin BH is really bad against this sort of light underspin short serve with an opponent determined to attack your return hard.

Yeah, if I chiquitaed it I would win the point like 70-80% of the time. It is not like playing against a pro like LSS who will absolutely counterloop any weak ones and blast them back.

yeah those are spin misreads not so much that he cant do it. There is no serve that cannot be chiquitaed if one anticipates well, gets to the right position in time, and reads the spin correctly.

FZD for sure can chiquita everything there. It is just that he wants variation in his receive, not that he cant. Chiquita is really easy to add a huge ton of spin onto short balls. If it exits the left side of the table you can even make the movement larger and stronger. But of course chiquita...

It is basically this: https://www.taobao.com/list/item/wap/650820558547.htm Well i just did a treatment for my 2yr old D05 and it worked wonders, now it is back to being spinny af.

Easy, these are all opportunity balls for chiquita. I wish ppl served this to me but they never do :(

I use D05 treated with tackiness enhancer. It lasts forever and produces a shit ton of spin just like 09c. All the benefits without the downsides imo.

played recently with a combination LP/inverted penholder with very good serves and lost quite a few games with the anti (I usually beat him or am close with 2x inverted) which led me to realize that there are some weaknesses with anti BH too. So as usual with penholders their FH is very strong...

You can use addition, where you learn and master one part first, then slowly add components to the stroke. I dont think the order matters that much.

Lol with BH anti you can drop short even half long or longer balls and it drives ppl mad xD

Ma Long for sure is no.1. Truls is also pretty good with short push. A few others that come into mind are Liang Jingkun (heavy af pushes loaded with underspin) who has won matches just with nasty pushes. I also really like Felix Lebrun pushes, he uses it as a weapon and gets really good spin out...

Yes spin reading is crucial regardless, but with anti i only need to have a rough guess as compared to a highly precise read if I were to use inverted. The really hard part is chopping and chopblock which is a foreign concept for most inverted players but it is just yet another skill to acquire...

Yeah personally it gives me a fighting chance against ppl with much more advanced spin game than me. My goal is to upset an ex-pro some day haha. With anti I can drag them into the mud (ie uncomfortable, unfamiliar territory) and use their own spin against them. Whereas with double inverted...

I got classic anti like Butterfly Super Anti and attacking with it is easy af, especially against underspin, but i can in fact do countertopspin with it. I would think frictionless anti be a lot more difficult to attack with. There is a whole spectrum of antis which all behave differently lol.

Alternatively, have fun with something like TTR-Killer - see below.

Lol antispin is what you want if you want easy af receives. I barely make mistakes receiving, but if I wanted to add quality (read:attack) then it is as risky as inverted imo.
