Hitting backspin with short pips

Equipment

Caleb Shipman Asked 8 years ago

My friend is a pips out hitter, and he is having trouble getting the ball over the net without pushing it. Should he try looping it over, or should he be able to get it over with a drive shot? if so, how?

Hi Caleb,

The short pips don't allow him to generate as much topspin on the ball or grip with the rubber. He can open up the angle of his racket more to allow for the lack of grip.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
