Spin and paddles

John Dale Asked 2 years ago

Hi Coach--you guys have such impressive spin and even with fairly good paddles I strain to imitate the level of spin you get! So my question is can you do a video that shows a distinction of basic spin ability against the standard of paddle, i.e. use some cheap basic paddles and show us how much spin you can still generate!  Often when watching your videos I think "Oh do I need a new paddle?" and then I realize my brushing skills are still pretty shoddy.

Hi John,

This is something that a lot of players struggle with.

There are basically 3 or 4 levels of racket.

Take a look at this tutorial on Choosing a Table Tennis Bat which I think will explain things well to you.
