I am using long pips against a flat hitter.  If he hits a fast and flat shot what spin, if any, would result against my pips.

Hi Phillip,

The ball will go back with some backspin because even though he is hitting the ball flat it will still have some forward rotation when it hits the table.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
