Looping a backspin ball with faster speed

Ernest Wahyu Asked 10 years ago

Hi Alois,

I can loop a backspin ball consistently but in slow speed, but when i tried to loop faster, the ball often go out of table or hitting the net. What should i do to loop the backspin ball faster and constistent ?

Thank you

Hi Ernest,

The key point is to make sure you maintain the topspin on your stroke.  Often players flatten out the contact too much when they try to play this shot faster.  If you maintain the same stroke as for your slower topspin and just speed up the swing you should start to generate better speed and more consistency.
