Amateur Table Tennis: 'Defense is the Best Offense', What Do You Think?

Ping Pong is the art of rotation, amateur ball players study and add spin, but the most taboo is to eat spin… Talking about spin is endless.

Sometimes the opponent's ball is too much spin, you see a strong 'little meteor' spinning towards you, it's impossible to defend, that's really frustrating.

Starzi will give you two tips, from the perspective of a 'skill master', one deflecting slice can solve this problem.

Deflecting slice rubber? Very vintage! Let's admire the figure of a senior world champion, do you recognize him?

However, considering the current trend of table tennis development, deflecting slice rubber is somewhat niche and has obvious limitations.

So, let's return to the path of 'skill master'. At this time, we urgently need to supplement itBackhand driveThis

technique.

Mastering this technique is good for use.

Stable first

The shape of the drive board should be fixed, stand up a little, don't press too much, or it's easy to go out of bounds.

During the drive, try to use your forearms more, not your wrists, which improves stability.

Don't always think about exerting force, because as soon as you exert force, you'll be too fast, and if you're too fast, you won't match the opponent's rhythm, which won't be defensive. Defense must be stable, or use leverage more.

Transition to drive

If you want to feel the drive, find the right point and rhythm, and then have a boosting feeling.

When you first find this boosting feeling, it's easy to find the 'transition' technique, because the movement is a little bigger, the feeling of 'hitting' the ball is a little less, the ball goes more smoothly, it will reach the 'transition' technique.However, this can be seen as a process of improvement

When you find 'transition', the action becomes smaller, the force is more concentrated, and the hitting of the ball is more decisive. That's the drive.

It looks effortless and casual, but the skill is deep.

Playing in the rising phase

When playing a drive with a circular spin, pay attention to hitting the ball in its rising phase, don't let the ball jump completely, when the spin comes out, it's hard to control.

Have a proactive forward awareness, the body can also assist the arm to send forward, coordinated, and the more coordinated the force.

Someone who can play in the rising phase is not old Walter Moore.

In amateur competitions, defense may be the best offense, this backhand drive with a deflecting slice technique, can't it?
