Pen-hold Twiddling
Strokes
Table TennisGuy Asked 10 years ago
Hi PingSkills!
Recently I noticed that Ma Lin twiddled his bat right before he serves
This is a video showing him do it
I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to twiddle.
Thank you!

Hi,
It looks like he takes his thumb away and then puts it behind the bat and pushes it around to twiddle it. Give it a try. The more you practice it the smoother it will get.

Banana Flick
The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.

Hi, Pingskillers. That has always seem to me more like a tic, a fad. A nervous thing. But if you think it's important, make sure you don"t drop your racket when you are receiving.
