  • In this video I show you how to return different types of sidespin serve.
    Not all sidespin serves are the same. You can get get sidespin with backspin or sidespin with topspin. Sidespin serves can be short or they can be long. They could be served to your forehand or to your backhand.
    In the video I show you how do you deal with these different variations - how to read the spin and which strokes to play. In particular, I explain how to return...
    - Short sidespin with backspin
    - Long sidespin with backspin
    - Short sidespin with topspin
    - Long sidespin with topspin
    Many players, especially at beginner and intermediate level, find it difficult to return sidespin serves, but if you follow my approach you will find it much easier to return these tricky sidespin serves.

    For defensive returns on side-backspin, I tend to favor mirroring the opponent's serve. This negates the sidespin and gives you better control over placement. After mastering this, flicking or driving the ball on the opposite side is more intuitive.

    I'm playing lot of Eleven Table Tennis game lately and Your videos are fantastic at getting me up in rantings. Yesterday I encouraged player with really strong side-spin serves that killed Me. Now I know that I lost because i try do be to defensive and wasn't using positive strokes. Also Your videos about faking topspin or backspin in serves is giving me lot of easy points in matches online. Thanks :)

    The positive stroke part is really interesting. I never considered that in the equation and I have to admit that, if I'm facing someone with heavy spin serves, I'm a bit more defensive and just try to read the spin and hold the racked correctly. But it always feels super risky and uncontrolled. I will try your tips and see if this works with heavy spin!

  • @leguminosa9
    @leguminosa9 4 роки тому +4

    in short : don't do a passive play (block, push, drive, put, etc) because without brushing (i.e. being "passive") the sidespin is gonna act on your rubber and fly away accordingly
    instead : do an active play (flick, push, drive, loop, etc) or being said, "positive stroke" to override the sidespin using brute force so you can play the ball normally.
    the key here : BRUSH the ball, don't just wait with open angled racket for the ball to bounce at yours.

    • @RobertoCostas
      @RobertoCostas 2 роки тому

      That's a simple thing many people don't understand. They think that the better you play, the better you should coach and viceversa. And that's not true at all.
      In football, for instance, there are many coaches that have never played the sport.
      Maradona is considered one of the two bests of history and as a coach he wasn't very good.

    I was taught to either angle the paddle based on the direction of sidespin or apply sidespin of the same direction. But figuring out how much spin in what direction is intense mental gymnastics. Never considered ignoring it altogether a strategy before haha

      Make sure you do lots of practice returning serves. Every time you play - with every partner - ask them to serve at you for a few minutes. This is a good way at getting better at returning serves.

    I am an beginner in table tennis and I have a reasonably good game of back spin which involves a strong slice (or a weak) with my wrist(usually a strong slice) and movement of shoulder
    I can also do top spin fairly well
    but in both I at times lack control and the ball goes outside the table
    I have been told long pips rackets are good for choppers and spin players
    should I buy it
    or are their drawback like I have heard you cannot attack the ball using long pips
