hello sir,

my racket is not too fast and not too slow it is normal, but i can not understand that what is my best combination of my tt racket. my game is fast as well as controlling. so i think that my racket is not comfortable for me. 

in my forehand there is speed and spin and in my backhand control and speed is present. 

so pls help me what rubber and racket i can choose, which was suitable for my racket.

pls help me.

but sir in last, i have some financial problem to buy a much costly racket. so if u help me, i can thanks u every time. 

pls help me.

and sir another problem is that sometimes i does not play a topspin on a heavy cut return. 

if you need speed, i suggest a thicker rubber (2.0+) for more speed

if you like to loop like me, i use hurricane 3 neo, it has great spin and speed, but the only con is that it is really heavy

i paired it with a light blade so it works fine for me.

it costs less than 25 US dollars

thanks sir, 

but i have no much more money to buy this rubber. can u help me for tt rubber and blade. 

Hi Akash,

We don't keep any rubber.  Sometimes at a club players will discard their rubbers and they are still very useable.

ok. 

but pls send me one video that, how we play topspin on a heavy cut return and a phantom rubber return. 

pls.

Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.  We also have a lesson in our Match strategy lesson on Playing Against Long Pimples.

hello sir, 

pls pls tell me how i will remove my hesitation before starting the match.

sir, when i play any match my hand and leg and my whole body was shivvering. 

pls solve me this problem. pls pls pls pls.

We are in the process of making a series on Mental Preparation.  If you go to the Ask the Coach section and look through all of the old answers in our Mental Preparation section you will find a lot of information there.

thank you sir, this technique is very helpful to me for remove hesitation. But sir, pls tell me, how i am serve heavy cut short serve in the tt. pls tell me.

Hi Akash,

We cover this in our Serving Secrets course.  The main thing is to contact the ball finely.

thanks sir, 

but sir my another problem is that when i am playing with left hander, i cannot contact the ball properly and when i am play any fast stroke with front of the table, the ball was goes outward the table. so pls tell me how i play fast stroke in front of the table. 

and sir pls send me the video of playing heavy topspin on a heavy cut or heavy chop and what is the footwork hen i lay the forehand topspin on a cut and a chop.

If you take a look through our lessons on strokes and techniques you will find a lot of information there.

Hi alois 

is yasaka mark 5 1mm rubber good

It is good for slower control or chopping.  Not for topspin because the sponge is too thin.

Akash Ararwal.......what level are you playing at?

hii dhruv, 

i am playing tt in agra at in youth group. 

but my problem is that, how i am increase my forehand topspin stroke and also my backhand stroke

my racket combination is coppa jo platin in my forehand and yasaka mark V in my backhand and joola carbon blade.

all the rubber are dead and ply is in bad condition

Ill put the equipment aside...i feel youre tryin too many things at a time...and getting so tensed will not speed up the learning curve.Make a check list oof things you have to fix...and go about it one by one.Dead rubber is dead be it a yasaka or a gki....get a proper bat first....coach might suggest sumthing once you tell him what you expect from your bat.

hiii alois sir, 

thanku for this statement. But how i am block heavy topspin with so much speed and curve, this is because my coach has playing very heavy topspin with so much speed and curve. if i block his topspin, the ball will go outside the table and he was shouting me. I block his topspin with yasaka mark V. 

Pls help me to block his topspin and give me video to learn and practise that. 

and sir pls tell me that how i am increase my percentage of my strokes i.e, forehand and backhand. 

pls 

Hi Akash,

Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Block.

To increase your consistency, slow the strokes down and practice it in training as much as you can.

thanku sir, i can try this and then i can tell u. sir pls tell me that what is your combination of your racket and  can i talk to u by video chat.

Both Jeff and I use the PingSkills Touch with Vega Pro. The best way to communicate its through the website.

but sir in backhand i use friendship 729 5x rubber. pls tell me some tricky shots which i am use by that rubber. and give me video for the better knowledge. pls sir

pls

Hi Akash,

That is a good quality rubber.  There are no particular shots that you can do better with that than any other type of rubber.  Just think about getting all of your shots correct and more advanced through learning the techniques that we sow you in our lessons on the Strokes & Techniques.  This is the most important part for you.

thanku sir, i can try and then i tell u

hello sir, 

this rubber is very effective for me. 

sir, when i was playing i does not balance my body, that's why i loose my points. pls tell me how i am balance my body when i play any stroke either forehand or backhand. pls sir pls

Hi Akash,

Make sure you practice a lot of footwork drills.  When you do, focus on being balanced, especially when you are striking the ball.

This is one of the keys to improvement.  You can also focus on this sometimes when you are playing matches.

thanks sir, this is very effective for me. 

pls tell me, which serve i am doing opposite to the pimple player and also a plane rubber player.

pls

There is a whole strategy of serving against all different types of players.  Think about each player you play and which serve they don’t like.

hello sir, 

pls tell me which tt blade i am using. in backhand there is friendship 729 fx rubber and in my forehand tibhar Q5 rubber. sir i am not judge that which ply i am using (carbon blade or without carbon blade). pls tell me. and tell me which ply r u using.

and sir i am does not play the forehand above the table, i am playing downward the table. pls tell me how i can improve.

pls pls      

jai hind jai bharat

It is not possible to tell what ply you are using.  Jeff and I use the PingSkills Touch.

For the forehand try to take the ball earlier by standing closer to the table and contacting the ball closer to the bounce.  If you are playing the stroke with good technique it will go on the table.

thanks sir,

pls tell me i have a friendship 729 fx rubber on my backhand, so tell me how i am cut (chop) the ball very hard, so that, the opponent can't pick the ball.

pls tell me.

and sir, i can see the rate of your pingskills t-shirts so it was very high rate. 

can u give me this t-shirts in least price. so i can buy it. This is because, these t-shirts is out of my pocket money. 

so, if u help me, that i can buy some t-shirts.

Hi Akash,

If your opponent understands spin, then even if you chop the ball they will be able to return it. For more information on this stroke take a look at our lesson on the backhand push, or if you are playing against a strong topspin, the backhand chop.

As for the t-shirts, they are already at the lowest price we offer sorry.

okkkkkk thanks sir

sir pls tell me 

TIBHAR RAPID SOFT TABLE TENNIS RUBBER (MAX)

 how is it for forehand 

pls tell me

Hi Akash,

I think it's best not to worry too much about changing equipment. Simply choose a reputable rubber and then worry about improving your technique. This is the real key to improvement!

this has to be the longest 2 person thread at pingskills :P ...anyway....akash you try to be your best with the present equipment you have..then think of having custom made bats.

i understand but i can ask that this tibhar rapid soft tt rubber is for forehand or for backhand

pls tell me
