Hi Coach,
I was wondering, How do I generate spins in anything I do? I tried changing rubber but my friends still said that my serves and etc has little spin and I don't know to make it more spinny.
I hope you you can answer me soon.
Hi Aloy,
It sounds like you have got the equipment covered by getting a new rubber. Out of interest what rubber are you using?
Once you have a decent rubber then you need 2 things to generate spin.
1) a fast contact and
2) a fine brushing contact
When you first try and generate spin I find it helpful to move away from the table. Just get out and hit the ball without worrying about where it goes. Concentrate on getting a fast brushing contact. I like to try and generate a lot of backspin and get the ball coming back towards me.
You can see an example of Alois doing this in our lesson on Practicing Alone.
Give it a try and let me know how you get on.
