Long Pimple against no spin ball
Strokes
Sasha Savic Asked 11 years ago
Hi, Pingskills
I have already asked you about LP technique against backspin ball. You told me to hit the ball flat, even from distance. But, what about no spin ball. Whether it is serve or counter hit, if I chop, the ball goes high. Main thing is, also, what to do when I am distanced from the table, and my opponent smashes or drives flat and ball has no spin.

HI Sasha,
When they smash and you are far away from the table you need to push the ball more forward as the ball will want to dive down off the pimples.
This is the same off a no spin ball closer to the table.
Try a few different angles and see what works for you.

So, by push, you mean to go with my blade quite flat, am I right?
Yes, that is right when close to the table. When you are further away with the smash you can have your bat more open but still get the stroke more forward.
