backspin

When I serve my backspin, after it goes onto the opponents side of the table, the ball will not travel back towards the net (see below for Mizutani serve) and even when it goes onto the floor I notice the ball doesn't really travel back in my direction at all. So i'm wondering, is it important...

currently my standard backspin serve is quite heavy in sidespin but not as much in backspin, maybe 75% side and 25% back from what I notice. I brush down the backside of the ball, at the 4 o'clock position, but still lots of side and barely any backspin. I can do a heavy pure backspin serve...

So I was playing a chopper today, and while we were warming up, he was chopping to my backhand, and I was looping them back. I decided to flip my bat and switch from the Xiom Vega Pro, which I usually use for my backhand, to the Hurricane 3 Neo. For some reason, My shots were much better with...

Long time back, I was obsessed with Ma lin Ghost serve and spent hours trying to figure it out. Then, I saw videos where he fooled the opponents with top spin looking like backspin and finished it with flick or cross diagonal forehand. This inspired me to develop my way of working on this...

My backhand flick of backspin is very inconsistent and I cant get much topspin , I feel I use my arm too much what should I do?

The famous Yoda of Table Tennis has written another excellent article on looping backspin. https://thoughtsontabletennis.wordpress.com/2016/01/03/the-best-rubber-to-loop-backspin/ TLDR: "Beginners" should use something like T05FX or Vega Japan, "experienced" players will benefit from hard...

Hi guys and girls, I shot some footage in the weekend for Ma's backspin and sidespin variation serves. I tried my best to imitate the serve motion. I hope you find these serves interesting and please suggest me some feedback. The last thread of mine related to the main serve of Ma long gave me...

Recently I've only just been trying to loop with my backhand and I have a lot of trouble doing it. Whenever I do it, I feel really awkward to go down really low and come back up. I feel like I'm not supposed to try and lift the ball all the way up until I'm basically standing up straight. I've...

I'm having problems returning halflong relatively high bouncing (say 2 inch above net height) backspin balls, that don't or barely clear the table end. These balls are typically the result of weak pushing rallies, where both players are hesitant to start an offensive return. My personal habitis...

Guys! :D we have something completely new!! In co-operation with Laola1.tv ( a big online sports platform ) we're producing a new ECL-magazine called "BACKSPIN"! :D Laola1.tv is really trying to get more attention to table tennis and has therefore decided to team up with us (weird, right? :P )...

Here's a video showing you the basic serve motion () I decided to learn this serve once I saw Timo Boll getting direct service points against Zhang Jike in the 2014 World Cup using this serve. I started learning it the hard way (more on that later) but once I finally managed to learn this...

Please show me my mistakes, thank you very much!:p

Everytime my oppenent does a long backspin push, try to loop it. However, when attempting to loop it, the ball always goes straight to the net. My technique is correct in everything. Currently, i my forehand rubber is Xiom Vega Europe. Could it be that my rubber can not create enough spin to...

My FH Rubber is juic 999 turbo how is my technique and what can i do to further improve it? and is it normal to feel a painful jolt in your shoulder? if yes how long wil it last and what remedies can i do to heal it? thanks :)

I'm a offensive player and the player i practice often with is a defender. When i am doing topspin brushes on the ball and the defender chops the ball back with a lot of backspin, when receiving, am i to put my bat at an angle and let the ball hit the rubber and it will bounce back to the other...

Hey guys. My Infinity VPS V with DHS NEO Provincial Hurricane 3 along with Andro Rasant is a bad looper on the forehand as I couldn't perform my lethal Chinese drive against topspin (similar to Ma Long). The ball always goes straight to the net. For players having a similar situation like me...

Hi, I wanted to discuss with you all the techniques which I have noticed people adopt in their forehand topspin against backspin balls. Please share your views on which technique you use and which one you feel is least stressful and best suited for the offensive game. The purpose of this...

This is the backhand loop demo by the famous coach - Yang Guang in HK and China. He is a very talented player and has played in European League. He has trained with Wang Liqin and Ma Lin in national team before. Please subscribe our PPSTATION CHINA Channel...

Hi People. I was playing a friend in the table tennis club yesterday. He's a much better player than me and gives me 4 start per game. I did OK winning probably about a third of the games we played (with my start obviously) Anyway, he has got some good serves which I can't read, however, I can...
