spin

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...

hi guys, i do not get the concept of throw, spinsensitivity and topsheet/sponge hardness. In my head there is more spin => higher throw => more spinsensitivity. And it's kinda true for my main rubber Donic Baracuda. I ask because i try to be a two-wing-looper. My signature shot is the...

Hello, I am having a hard time to return long pure side spin serves. I watched many video tutorials where the people say that I should use a top spin which will overwrite the side spin effect but this approach did not work for me because the ball either goes into the net if I close the angle of...

Too bad this isn't allowed. [Emoji23]

Hey everybody... Recently I came across people talking about certain composite blades which have enormous ball feeling and dwell despite the carbon or other fiber materials inside. Some people even described them as having the feeling of the ball sink inside the blade. These blades provide...

Hi guys, I'm a beginner-Intermediate player. I've played table tennis properly in a club in 2014 and 2015 and I wasn't a bad player but not the best looper or anything. I then stopped and now I've started again about a month ago to play seriously and I will be playing league in September. I need...

Hello what do you think about a half long reverse pendulum with no spin the the middle forehand as a change up from backspin/sidetopspin is it a good alternative, what do you think, thank you very much

I once played against a fellow who used either short pimples or long pimples. I had played against SP/LP players before, but this was the first time where the "reverse" spin effect was so pronounced. Whenever I would do a heavy push, he would push it back and the ball would have quite a heavy...

Hello i have a problem with my reverse pendulum, i serve this mainly to the opponents forehand side (half long), but sometimes my service gets to high and the oppponent flips/hits it very wide to my forehand site, sometimes i can get there to play a forehand crosscourt but sometimes i am to...

Hello~ world!! My name is Jake. I live in Korea. I practiced top spin drive and other skills by the return board. It is very useful for me to practice basic skill alone. It makes good swing form and improve sense of touching ball. Thank you for watching. Give me your advice to me please. I will...

Hi guys, I try to give topspin but sometimes it goes with backspin. And I try to give backspin. It goes with topspin. How can I control them? How can I serve with underspin or topspin. What are the differences?

In terms of % of the initial spin, how much of the spin do you think wears off during the ball flight? More specifically: assume your opponent performs a spinny loop, the ball bounces off your side of the table and soon thereafter the "useful" part of its trajectory starts (i.e. the part where...

I'm not an equipment expert at all. I feel like I'm asking an extremely common sense question, but for softer rubbers, you generate spin mainly by using the sponge? (as opposed to closing your racket more to spin the top of the ball for tacky rubbers) I heard this while going through...

When i watch those top level pros play their serves are all very high quality and deceptive. I personally can't read them every time. So I was wondering in match play, what spins they put on the ball? I know that Backspin-sidespin and Topspin-sidespin and no spin is all widely used in their...

Hello, I have an old blade from 2011, the Gergely Tamca 5000 and I would like to have suggestions about the rubbers suited for it. My game has lot of looping on FH and Looping, flicks and chops on the BH. And of course I need to have some ease of control. My regular blade is Timo Boll ALC...

I'm quite new to table tennis equipment, and I have started using Donic Bluefire M1 Forehand and Bluefire M2 backhand for around 3 months now. I find the speed very astonishing with the M1 rubber paired with the Donic Perrson exclusive off blade. My forehand drives and forehand topspins easily...

Through pinterest I found a nice bar-table tennis club called SPIN (http://wearespin.com/) . That's a very nice place to be and I like the idea quite a bit. You can go with friends to play and have a bottle of bear at the same time. It's a shame it's on another continent :D Maybe someone has...
