Spining a ball on the TT table
Serving
Omkar Sathe Asked 8 years ago
Hello Sir,
Since I dont have a TT table at my home, I practice my serves and different spins on the floor. Though I can successfully do various serves like the pendulum on the floor, the ball doesnt seem to spin when I practice on the table. Also the ball doesnt get enough forward momentum to cross the net.
Kindly give me tips to solve this. Your help is appreciated.
Thanking you,
Omkar

Hi Omkar,
It is great that you are able to generate the spin to start off with. This is a good step forward.
If the ball is not going far enough, hit the ball slightly more forward with your swing so that the ball lands further down the table on your side, or you can simply hit the ball harder to get it have more forward momentum.

But Sir what about the spin? When I hit it hard, it doesn't even spin a bit!
Thank you for the quick responce.
Make sure you keep the same brushing contact while you hit the ball faster.
