ITTF Off the Table Interviews

What did you think of the presentation of the ITTF World Tour Finals?

Will you play Table Tennis on Christmas Day?

I understand why people go to long pimples or antispin, they want to play defensive but why do someone migrate to short pimples on one side or even both? Why do people give up the opportunity to play with lots of spin from both wings? Ilia

How exactly do you tell a good blade from a bad one? For example, if you’re just browsing online for a bat, what do you look for? Can you recommend a good blade or a premade bat suitable for custom made rubber, are there any that really stand out? Olly

I can't recover for the next stroke when I play a stroke, especially flicks. I get paused at the end position. Please tell me how to recover for the next stroke. Do you have any drills to practice recovery? Kaustubh

I'm kinda confused about doing a topspin/loop stroke. Should my elbow be fixed and do the stroke with my shoulder or should i do the stroke with my elbow? I'm a chinese penholder. Antonius

Forehand Topspin

What is your favourite part of PingSkills?

What did you think of the presentation of the ITTF World Tour Finals?

When I started learning forehand topspin against backspin I started by taking the ball late. My stroke was almost vertical whereby, I attempted to lift the ball and give it maximum spin. as I developed, I want more speed and more depth. Mudit

I wanted to share a video from Facebook, which shows a girl learning forehand topspin, but there is no bat or ball involved. My question is how important or effective this kind of training can be for a little child beginning to learn to play. Arnab

I want to become a table tennis referee or umpire please advise me whom to approach. Vijaykumar

Sir when I played table tennis some players gave me bouncy spin serve and I am unable to return them kindly looking for your answer. Sundaram

PingPod #42 - Changing the service rule

Is Tenergy worth the cost?

What is your favourite part of PingSkills? Is it the Ask the Coach Show, the Lessons, the Blogs, the Vault or something else?

Which is the deadlier long pips with no sponge(ox) or with sponge and which has more control?? thank you. Jared

When you start your attack, should you be looking to hit at your opponent's elbow or a wide angle? I've found that the wide angles aren't always available to me, especially early in a rally when we're both in good position to play from FH and BH. Gary

How do i do the backhand tomahawk serve but having my feet in the normal tomahawk serve position so it creates a off putting effect? Rowan

I'm at a crossroad of how to improve seeing as I don't have people better than me to play against. Can I trying to attain better form in the middle of games is worth the effort, or if I should stick with drills that I can do alone. Dakota

Do you have any experience regarding how long a rubber glued on a racket keeps its quality when NOT played with? Thomas

I've been focusing more on a faster pace but a lot of my shots end up hitting the table towards the middle providing my opponent with an easy-to-block ball and I'm thinking I should change that approach to hit with less power and more placement. Gary

I lose my temper while losing points and after losing my temper I am uncontrollable. I probably lost 14-15 matches after losing my temper and broken 1-2 bats after losing matches. Kindly looking for your response. Sundaram

Is there any exercise in order to practise my reflexes? Nick

Can we learn anything from pro games at all? I come from a board game background (Go) and in pro matches in that area so much is going on under the surface that any learning based on it is mostly illusionary. Dieter

Hi Jeff and Alois, is there any video response about the sidespin backhand topspin? Thanks, Nick

Hello, I tend to bend my wrist when playing forehand. I have heard that it is a bad habit, how can I change that?

Hi PingSkills, how does Ma Long have such a powerful forehand? Tam
