Hi Alois and Jeff

I had just bought a new bat but I had a new problem too! The problem is located on my forehand and backhand topspin. With my old bat, I can do the loop easily, but with the new bat, the ball flies out of the table. Should I have to adapt with my new bat?

P.S: I have watched a match between you and Jeff, and that video was entertaining! haha

Thanks in advance

Hi Archel,

Adjusting to a new bat can take a little time.  The ball flying off the end is usually the thing that happens because the bat is a bit faster.

Do a lot of consistent controlled hitting with it over the next week and you will soon get used to it.

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!
