Twiddling

Equipment

Peter Habich Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois,

in youtube I found the lectures on tabletennis by Greg Letts. He often speaks about twiddling. What I understood is that this means the permanent changing of the side of the bat during a game. For example playing backhand with the red side or playing forehand with the black side (long pips).

My question: in which situations should I as a hobby player do this changing of the colour ?

Regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

Players usually use it to change to the inverted side on the backhand to generate spin or as a variation.

You can use it to use the long pimple side on the forehand as well if you are having problems reading spin on the forehand.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
