Attacking with long pips + returning LH players sidespin loop/drive

Strokes

Andrew Borbas
Andrew Borbas Asked 7 years ago

Hi! How  are you today? I have been playing TT for years but not consistently. I travel 1 hour to play against significantly better players almost every week. I am the only player out of about 30 who plays with long pips and it is currently driving many players crazy but i would like to see videos on attacking with long pips primarily from the backhand side (this is my strong side vs forehand). 

I often play against a very good LH player who has a wicked forehand crosscourt loop/drive that I only occasionally am able to chop it back using long pips. Can u send me some videos on returning this LH loop/drive.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hi Andrew,

Take a look at this tutorial in the Long Pimples section on Long Pimple Attack Against Backspin. Hope it helps you.

For returning the sidespin push through the ball more.  The sidespin won't effect your stroke too much but will give him a wicked ball back to deal with.

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.
