My Coach Uses Pips Out

Training

Hi,

I am a beginner/intermediate player who has recently been getting 1 on 1 coaching once a week. However, on one side of his racket he has pips out.

All the players I play against at work and my club do not use pips out racket. Do you think this will present a problem? I'm concerned I'll get used to countering pips out, but then struggle against my normal opponents at work who don't use them.

As additional info, I have no plans to enter tournaments or anything like that.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

It may effect your strokes initially.

He will probably use the inverted side to hit to you most of the time which would be preferable.

Forehand Followup

Once you've played a topspin off a backspin ball, the next forehand topspin can prove very difficult. I often see people hitting the followup forehand off the end of the table. Watch this master class to see why I think this happens and how to adjust so you can make an effective forehand followup!
