I am a backhand player... How could I make the ghost spin and a powerful backspin ?

Hi Adnan,
To get the ghost spin or a heavy backspin on the ball you need to brush it right at the bottom and finely. The next thing is to not get too much forward momentum so that the ball can stop easily and come back to you. Giving the ball a bit of height helps with this as well. Take a look at our lesson on How to Execute the Ma Lin Serve.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.

What is the best racket and the best rating for doing the ghost spin ?
There is no best racket. Just find a racket that suits you. We recommend the PingSkills Rook as a first good bat or the PingSkills Touch as a custom made bat.
