Spin Move
Strokes
Jon Schroeder Asked 11 years ago
Hi Jeff and Alois,
At 0:42 in this video Clash of Defenders : Koji Matsushita v. Joo Se Hyuk. Matsushita does a spin move while he chops. What is the point of this? How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Hi Jon,
It is an extremely good point that he plays there.
The defender will sometimes do a spin when his body is going around that way and it is easier to keep going around rather than stopping and recovering back the same way. It is OK sometimes as a defender because you have more time while you are away from the table.
It can be quite disorienting to do though the first few time. It may be something that you can have a try at and see if you can pull it off.
