Strategy

Hi Alois,

1. You said that long pimple rubber will reverse the spin. So if i give a lot of topspin the ball will be back with more backspin ?

2. If someone use inverted rubber to chopping, how much the amount of the backspin will be returned if I do a lot of topspin ? will it be lesser or more ?

Thanks

Hi Ernest,

With inverted rubber, they can control the amount of spin because of the friction on the rubber. So they can give you back a lot or a little spin, depending on the angle of contact of their bat and the amount they brush the ball.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
