A good MP player I know, told me when he plays (what looks like a normal BH topspin stroke)he has to play it with the tip of the bat. Most disconcerting!! The ball comes back with light backspin (when compared to a chopped or blocked ball, which usually has more spin retained) Again, it’s getting your head around ignoring (to a certain extent) what the stroke looks like, disengage auto pilot!!!
He also plays a stroke, which is like a slo mo BH topspin v back spin, I’ve only seen him play this stroke once, when I played in a match alongside him. His opponent was a LP BH chopper, Inverted FH. The ball came back with a high flight, no spin and died, speed wise as it reached the net!! In fact the whole thing looked slow!!
Opponent was away from the table. This stroke was played v the opponents LP.
MP isn’t LP but not far away.
One serve type he struggles with is a fast, no spin serve to his MP, it has to be low to the net and not bounce up much, 2nd bounce net high
I agree with Carl, it would be great to hear from some higher level LP players, to find out what strokes they have and how they vary spin etc.
