Toby Clarke Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois/Jeff I am 13 years old and have just started to play as a reserve for div 5 pennant in Canberra and I also play at home. Table tennis is my second sport and Tennis is my First. I play with a two- handed backhand in Tennis and I was wondering if you are to play competition with a two-handed backhand.
kind regards Toby

Hi Toby,
Jeff will be really pleased to hear that you are playing in Canberra where he started his career.
You are allowed to play with a two handed backhand but it is not advisable. You will find it is too slow and you don't need the power from your other arm in Table Tennis.
Good luck with your improvement.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.

Hi Toby,
It's great to hear you've started playing table tennis in Canberra. As Alois mentioned that is where I grew up and the first table tennis club I ever went to. It is a great club so enjoy your time there.
Good luck in div 5!
