  2. Hints to making videos of lifting back spin.

  6. Holding Back

    So I'm a 1800 rated player and the club i am currently playing at due to Covid-19 only has 1500s or below. I do play matches, but win easily 3-0 with points like 11- <7. It's not that fun. So I just ask if they want to practice. Obviously they do, but when we practice I can give them drills...

  15. Why waiting for back spin balls drop before looping back works.

    Actually, hitting back spin balls at the peak makes the most sense from a physics point of view. There is a better line of sight to the other side of the table. However, there are problems that occur because we are human and not perfect. After I watched videos of others and me hitting too...

  20. Changing from Long pips back to inverted rubber

    I've been playing for around 10 years, most of it on inverted rubber for my backhand, but 4 years ago I started using long pips for my backhand. I have quite a defensive play style, but I was thinking of changing my backhand rubber to inverted again. Should I do so, and if yes, which rubber...
