Hi,

I have been playing tt for a few years now, however, I still do not know how to brush the ball. May I know if the feeling of brushing the ball is as though u can barely even feel the ball? Also, you said that when u brush the ball, u should have a fast contact. However, i see the professional players, and u, having slow (not very slow) contact. Why is this so?

Hi Hao,

The brushing contact is like a feeling of making a wheel turn around by using your bat with the ball being a wheel. 

We have a lesson in our Serving Secrets lessons on Learning To Spin which will help our Premium members.

In our  free lesson on Understanding Spin you will see the wheel I am talking about.
