Backspin serve

Hazard z Asked 14 years ago

Every time i serve a backspin pendulum, the back does not have massive backspin. The contact of the ball must be lower or higher away from the table, or nearer or further away from the table.

Thanks

Hi Khang,

The key part is how you contact the ball.  Try to make sure you are brushing down on the back of the ball or brushing under the ball.  This is what generates the backspin.

Practice this away from the table to start with so that you are getting the contact right.  Then you can step up to the table and try to get the spin.

We have some good demonstrations in our Serving Secrets Revealed.
