Pen-hold Twiddling
Strokes
Table TennisGuy Asked 10 years ago
Hi PingSkills!
Recently I noticed that Ma Lin twiddled his bat right before he serves
This is a video showing him do it
I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to twiddle.
Thank you!

Hi,
It looks like he takes his thumb away and then puts it behind the bat and pushes it around to twiddle it. Give it a try. The more you practice it the smoother it will get.

Timing can help you to improve your stroke. It can also be a reason that you are struggling with your stroke. By changing the timing you can change the type of ball your opponents is facing.

Hi, Pingskillers. That has always seem to me more like a tic, a fad. A nervous thing. But if you think it's important, make sure you don"t drop your racket when you are receiving.
