Trouble with spin

Kevin Pu Asked 15 years ago

Hello, I saw some of your spin videos and i can't seem to duplicate some of the basic spin moves in a fast paced game. I have no problem getting the spin to happen but keeping it on the table is another story. It always seems to fly towards the net or out of the table. Does this have anything to do with height since im rather short or a certain skill im missing? Thank you for your time

Hi Kevin,

If you ae talking about topspin, then perhaps you are not getting the correct contact on the ball.  A brushing contact will get the ball to dip on to the table.  If you don't get a good brushing contact the ball will fly in a flatter path and either go into the net or fly long depending on its speed and trajectory.

Work on getting the ball to dip as much as you can to start with by watching the flight of the ball.

I don't think it will have anything to do with your height.
