Hi Faiq,

To generate more spin you need to brush the ball faster.  You need to also contact the ball more at the base of the ball rather than behind.  So to do this get your racket angle flatter.

Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Push.  Watch especially from 1:55.

I also have a bat with that rubber and it seems that rubber don't have a lot of spin try to do backspin or sidespin on the floor and see how fast the ball is spin i'd better recommended you to change your rubber with yasaka mark v as i would change my bat to pingskills touch soon. You can buy pingskills rook / pingskills touch bat as it have a lot of spin and comfort for everyone...

I've wakaba bat and it seems don't generate a lot of spin and speed you can have that pingskills bat by order it, it'll come by shipping so everyone can have it and also the price is relative cheap but if you still don't want to buy it, i prefer you to buy a custom bat rather than a complete bat because custom bat is better and you can choose what rubber on each side with each merk and it's quality of spin and speed good luck :D

Hi Faiq,

The Wakaba is a reasonably good pre made bat.  It will however give you reasonable amounts of spin to learn the strokes.

DHS Lover Posted 11 years ago

I agree as it's my first bat and it have a good control as the speed is not that fast and also easy for you to learn strokes but for sure, don't be tricked to buy a fake one just like my friend try to hear the sound of the rubber and test to bounce and spin with the ball as you know, there're many fake equipment just like the ball, net, and the others becarefull and good luck (don't be get interested by the price !)

I don't really know about a bat anyway, how hold are you ? And how long you have played table tennis ? I prefer you to buy the pingskills touch with xiom vega pro rubber that's the best for me

i am 14 years old and i am playing table tennis for like 1 year. i am just facing problems with my serves but overall people say me that i am good

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

Hi Faiq,

I think it is better that you buy the PingSkills Rook rather than the PingSkills touch with Vega Pro.  The Touch would be too fast for you.

I haven't hit with the Double Fish rackets so not sure of the rubber on them.  The rubber is the most important part.  It needs to be a reasonable quality to allow you to develop your strokes.  Brian, do you know what rubber is on the DOuble Fish bat?

ok i will need to ask my father for that, But recently i need to ask that can i do ma lin ghost serve with my current racket which is Butterfly Addoy 2000 ? and could i make opponents to hit the net with my serve ?

 

THANKS

DHS Lover

DHS Lover Posted 11 years ago

Yes, you can do ma lin serve with it but the ball will not come back too much... Me too, i'm 14 years old and just play table tennis for 8 months but now i'm great and even now i can beat my own senior and my old brother too it's just the matter how long you practicing i practice everyday and night and for a week it's about 30 hours and if it's holiday i practice from morning but remember to have a rest time because if you practice too much, you'll feel tire and your feet will hurt (as my experience) about the bat, i used wakaba 60 with butterfly addoy for 6 months and now i use to play with custom bat with yasaka mark V rubber and i feel comfortable with it it's up to you to choose which bat for sure, you must have to mastered all the basic stroke (counterhit, push, topspin), develop your own serve, return of serve, and the third ball just feel that you think you're good or need more practice so you'll think which bat is better for you now and latter good luck :D

faiq raza Posted 11 years ago

hmmm well i think we are kinda same cause i have beaten all my seniors and my old brother :D. I think i would need to master my strokes on my Addoy 2000 because i have bought that racket like 2 weeks ago so my father will not allow me to get another. Have u tried double fish ID-C or 3A-C ?? please tell me are they good for spinning , side spin ETC

DHS Lover

DHS Lover Posted 11 years ago

Ops, sorry i'm 15 (1998) i don't know about that bat but i prefer you to use your bat now because it still new and can be use well as my wakaba bat the rubber has been eaten by mouse (a little on the side, but well... Still can be use but will not generate a good spin) that's why i want to change with pingskills touch as the mark v is my friend bat...
faiq raza

faiq raza Posted 11 years ago

i know that my racket can be used but its not generating enough spin, do u know how do we brush the ball for backspin because many times when i am brushing its generating side spin do u know why ? maybe i am not brushing the ball properly please tell

DHS Lover

DHS Lover Posted 11 years ago

It still have a lot of spin if you can brush it fast and from the finer contact from the edge of your rubber just keep use it until you really need better bat be respect to your father that has buy your first bat and be proud of it ! to make a backspin on it, just brush underneath the ball and make the ball spin backward you can brush the back of the ball and come down or brush the under of the ball (any type of brushing action that make the ball spin backwards) just try to have more practice, but for sure you can ask sir alois for more as he's the coach and has a lot of experience rather than me

hello pingskills i have one more question. I am thinking to change my racket to Donic Waldner 800 is it good ? because it is available on a shop, so whats ur opinion on that racket ?

Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

Hi Faiq,

This would be a reasonable option as a first bat.  The other option that we provide is the PingSkills Rook.

faiq raza

faiq raza Posted 11 years ago

ok thanks, and i always forget to ask u that how can i generate high spin on backhand shot can u please do any video or tell me ? this would be helpful if u can show in video

 

 

THANKS

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

Hi Faiq,

Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Topspin Off Backspin.  Is this what you are after?

faiq raza

faiq raza Posted 11 years ago

no sir , i just wanted to know that how can i generate some side spin on my backhand shot ? everytime i am playing a backhand counter hit it is not generating any spin so i wanted to know that how can i generate some spin on it

Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 11 years ago

Hi Faiq,

Sidespin is not recommended on the backhand.  It is much better to play with straight topspin or backspin.  The sidespin will make your stroke inconsistent.

It can be OK as a one off shot but not something that you should be working on or basing a game around.

If you do want to try the sidespin, drag your bat across the back of the ball while making a push stroke.
