Brushing action

Looks like brushing action plays vital role in creating spin and controlling ball. Can you please guide me about the best contact point and angle for getting best brushing action without much force.

Hi Dinesh,

Yes, brushing the ball finely with a lot of bat speed is what generates good spin. And depending on what type of spin you are trying to get, you will hit the ball in different areas. For example to get backspin you need to brush down the back of the ball or underneath the ball. To generate topspin you need to brush up the back of the ball or over the top of the ball.

A good way to practice getting lots of spin is to move away from the table and try to serve the ball onto the floor with a lot of backspin so it spins back to you. Give it a try and let me know how you go.
