Fast backspin serves anywhere

Training

Humaira Fasih Asked 8 years ago

Hi alois

I wanted to know how to increase my ability to attack fast serves with backspin on them especially if my opponent continues to vary the serve between my forehand and backhand. I may be able to attack such a fast serve if it is on one side but i face difficulty with attacking this kind of serve if my opponent varies the position of serve.

Hi Humaira,

You are a step closer to getting this right. It is great that you are able to do the strokes from one position. Now it is a matter of practising it more and watching the direction of the ball right from the server's hand.

We talk a little about this concept in the Building Blocks of Table Tennis section in our video on Randomisation. I hope this helps.

Disguising Spin

To confuse your opponent you need to produce variations in spin. Just by mixing up heavy backspin and light backspin, you make it really difficult for your opponent to control the ball. In this master class we discuss the best ways to achieve this.
