How we counter different spin
Receiving
Simon Lewis Asked 12 years ago
Hi Pingskills,
I was recently asked by an absolute beginner to explain to them the effects of different spin. For example, what effect off the rubber does backspin have on a regular bat angle, and how can we counter this? I have looked for a video on your website, but I don't think I have found one! A video showing the effects of basic spins (top spin, backspin, sidespin) and then showing and explaining how we can counter these spins would be great for the beginners!
Thanks!

Hi Simon,
We cover this in our Receiving Secrets lessons. We show the effects of the spin and what to do with your racket to counter the effects of the spin.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
