Receiving
I want to know, how can i receive backspin-sidespin serve with the short pips in 1.5mm sponge bat?And how to improve my skill to play short pips?
Hi Mikhail,
The short pimples won't generate as much spin as with inverted rubber. You may be able to flick the ball or hit through it a little more than you normally would. As you have 1.5mm sponge you will have good control from the rubber.
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
