Transferring technique
Strokes
Nigel C Asked 6 years ago
Alois/Jeff,
My local league recently held a ping pong tournament. We played to 15, had the power ball and use sand paper bats.
Do you think that being able to quickly adjust to the sand paper bats is a sign of good technique and also not being able to adjust a sign that you need to work on technique or imply a lack of skill.
Personally I felt I needed much more practise than everyone else and by the end of the day I was still well below the level I normally reach in regular table tennis and I lost to players I have beaten in the proper game.

Hi Nigel,
I think it is often more to do with how much a person has just played and can adapt rather than technique. Your technique needs to be different with the sandpaper bats. I wouldn’t worry too much. Just continue to play and enjoy those games and see how well you can adapt in the future.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
