Racket

Emil Palm Asked 13 years ago

Hi there Pingskills, Love your videos. I have a question about my Racket. For the moment I have a Ma Lin Offensive (Yasaka) Racket with Pryde 30 on Forhand and A V-Stage on my Backhand. I like the spin on the racket but its Far too hard.

If I smash the ball with all my force the Ball crack in most cases. And if someone Smash on my backhand I can´t block the ball at all. So my quetion is.

Can I fix this problem just by getting a softer Racket and just swap over the Rubbers? And if so you have any tip on what Racket I should get. I play Defensive or Top-Spin on my Backhand and Offesive/Top-spin on my Forhand. Anyone got A tip?? Thanks for answering :)

Hi Emil,

The blade is fast so it will be difficult to get control. I think you can change blades and keep the same rubbers and you should be able to develop more control in the rally.

As to which blade, I will leave that up to the experts. Just get something that is slower rated. There's a thousand choices out there.

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!

Hi Emil,
It is not just you that has this problem. It is difficult to get them to do it until they realise the benefits. I get them to do some fun movements off the table. Perhaps a relay with this movement or a competition to see who is the fastest.
Other than that it is a constant reminder. Sometimes they don't realise that they are standing up again.
