Long pimple wobble

Strokes

Hi Alois,

I was watching some professional choppers with long pimples and they have the ability to produce a "wobbling" ball when chopping that looks weird.  How is this effect achieved with long pimples?

Thanks

Edison

Hi Edison,

If you contact the ball flat off a sidespin ball the ball will tend to wobble.  The wobble effect is a bit of an illusion.  It is just that the ball doesn't react in a way that we are used to.

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.
