Strategy
Hi coach can you show me how to return an aggressive backhand spin.
Hi Sathya,
If it is a topspin use a block shot. Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Block. However one thing you also need to consider is trying to stop them from having the opportunity to make the aggressive backhand. You can do this by keeping the ball shorter on the table and also just avoiding the hitting zone. Try to play the ball wider or more into their crossover or even place more balls to the forehand side.
Most table tennis rallies last just 3.4 shots. So if you want to win more matches, you need to master the short game! In this episode of the PingSkills Show, you’ll learn why the short game is so important and how to control the first few shots to stop your opponent from attacking first.
Whether you’re struggling with your short push, not sure when to flick, or want to stop giving away easy attacks, this video will help you play smarter.
