Looping backspin with short pimple rubber

Strokes

Jasper Low Asked 4 years ago

Hi Alois. I noticed that I can't use the exact same stroke when I loop backspin with inverted rubber. How should I play this stroke with the short pimple rubber on the backhand side?

Hi Jasper,

You need to use a flatter stroke. Contact the ball from a higher position and hit more forward on the ball. The backspin doesn't react with the short pimple as much as it does with an inverted rubber.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.

Thanks. I have gotten the hang of looping backspin with the short pips!
