Looping with medium pips
Equipment
Rahul Ramesh Asked 13 years ago
hi alois,
I am using medium pimples on my backhand. The question is how to loop the ball with the backhand? Should I close the racket on contact or close the racket.
Thx in advance

Hi rahul,
It is difficult to loop with the medium pimples. You will need to open the angle of your bat in preparation for the stroke and keep the angle during the stroke. This will give you a chance of lifting the ball. Unless the other player gives you a lot of backspin, it will be difficult to generate any topspin.

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!

Hello Alois, i'm using medium pips too, how is the better way to attack the opponent pushes? Loop or a fast flat hit attack? Thanks.
Hi Giovanni,
A flat attack is the easier way. The pimples don't have enough friction to make a looping action.
