38mm ball
Training
Mark Velliquette Asked 8 years ago
Hi guys, is there any advantage to practicing with 38 mm balls? Our HOA where I play bought a bunch not knowing. Or will it really mess you up?

Hi Mark,
I don't think there is any real advantage in training with the smaller ball. I think because Table Tennis is so specific with its skills you should practice with the appropriate equipment mainly.
As a novelty or to increase awareness you could train with them sometimes but only on an odd occasion.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
