Start for counter topspin

Strokes

Tobias Larsson Asked 11 years ago

The most table tennis player, do they start from the knee or the hip when they perform counter topspin/loop?

Hi tobias,

Each stroke starts with the legs and then transfers to the body and arm and then fingers. For the counter topspin there isn’t as much need for power as the topspin already has the speed and spin on it.

You still need good balance and then need to utilise your stroke to control the stroke.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
