How does xu xin push with a lot of backspin
Strokes
Ali Zarei Asked 12 years ago
Hello.
I just watched a video of xu xin practicing and when he pushed the ball it went back into the net right after.
Is it his technique or it's just the spin of his very tacky and new rubber?

Hi Ali,
He is putting a good amount of backspin. This is mainly technique. You can do it with any rubber that has reasonable grip but the technique is the vital part.
He is getting a very fine brushing contact on the ball. It takes a bot of work to get this contact right. Lots of practice ahead.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
