Contact time
Strokes
Abhiram Reddy Asked 12 years ago
Good to be back to TT after a 2 month break!!! Anyway, my question is how do I increase the contact time with the ball to increase my spin. It seems I have forgotten the art of putting more spin on the ball and the only thing I am achieving is loop killing with really low contact time with the ball. Can I do the fast and spinny loop with a longer follow through motion?

Hi Abhiram,
The contact time is very marginal. Soften your grip and feel on the racket.

The Push in Detail
The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.

Ok so it looks like I've been going the wrong way about it and just need to feel the ball hit the rubber and not all the way to the wood. My grip has always been pretty loose .Thanks Again and wish you a Merry Christmas.
