Blade for topspin

Equipment

Hi Alois

Is it true that some blade is good for topspin, as its producer claim? or top spin is rubber dependence.

Best,

Somchai

Hi Somchai,

The more important factor is the rubber for spin. However, if the blade is too fast or hard, it may lessen the ability to impart spin because the ball isn't staying in the rubber for very long.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Thanks. If I play forehand topspin with a hard blade and want to add more spin to my stroke, should I open or close my blade more. I play with Chinese rubber.

With Chinese rubber you can close your blade more to brush over the top of the ball.
