How to generate wobbling balls. Some worthy hints.

-- Nope, you can't expect the ball travelling forward with a high-frequency oscillations, and 'wobbling' is rather an improper term here. What you get is much similar to the protracted zigzag trace between slalomic flags.

To begin with, a certain type of rubber is needed to provide a satisfactory zigzag effect.
--Any low-friction rubber will do pretty well.
--- On the contrary, grippy rubbers proved unuseful at all.

Just throw this thing in the microwave, I can guarantee you the desired results.

P.S. If you end up divorced and booted from your hometown I take no responsibility. Microwave illegal rubbers on your own risk.

At my club the ones with improper FH technique can generate those wobblers.

in my clubs those without any technique at all will make the wobblers 😂

Basically it happens when the stroke doesnt match the expected spin of the ball which causes these kind of wobbliness. With anti or LP the easiest is to go against the spin (the outgoing ball will still be going with the spin), so the outgoing ball has the opposite sidespin to what you might expect from the stroke.

You can also do this with inverted with snakes, but also loops if you fake the followthrough for eg fake loops.

There is a lot of flat-smashes happening here and I always thought it was just the crappy balls that created the wobblers ????

Basically wobblers happen when the spin on the ball is different from what you would reasonably expect from a stroke.

Of course if the ball is not round then it can wobble but that is just poor manufacturing tolerances.

Or if you have strong wind.

A perfectly round ball can only have 1 spin type on it, it is impossible for it to physically 'wobble'.
