Strokes
How to learn ping pong fast as a beginner? Can a beginner learn spins?
Hi Othniel,
The most important thing to start with is to learn the basic strokes. Take a look through our Strokes & Technique page. This will list for you the strokes that you should progress through.
Some of them will involve spin. Initially though don't focus on spin, focus on getting the basic strokes correct.
Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
