    Hello Jeff! I Seriously Need Help! My Friend Keeps On Topspinning When Ever I Return His Smash! Its Almost Impossible To Return It. How Should I Make Him Stop Topspinning? Thank You!

  12. pingskills says:

    @ultrahan123 Hi, the best way is to start by serving the ball short so it will bounce twice on the table. Then you have a good chance to make the first attack. Also when he serves, try to return the ball short again so he cannot attack. Take a look at our lessons on pushing as we talk about the short push there.

    You can also try using the Ask the Coach section of our website where you can easily track all of your questions.

    Regards,
    Jeff.

    Hi i’ve been watching pingskills videos. and they have helped me alot. but my only problem is returning smashes. i try to block but the ball flies away. what should i do?

  14. pingskills says:

    @yobmas722 If they are smashing a high ball then take a look at our lesson on the lob. This might help you. If it is an aggressive forehand off a ball that is not that high then you can use a shot called a block. We have lessons on the block for both forehand and backhand.

    Take a look at these lessons on our website and let me know if they help you out.

    bad spin

  16. pingskills says:

    @bram1211 In what way?

  17. skyking166 says:

    @ultrahan123 hmm pratice your backhand block a lot, up until a point where u feel comfortable returning the ball wherever you want. And from there.. i think you know what to do ^_^ He topspin, you block to backhand (remember to add a little force and aim the angle down a little bit more) or you let him topspin one more, and if you do it fast enough, you should be able to force him to use backhand block or backhand topspin, then you just smash it on to his forehand. try it xD

  18. skyking166 says:

    @LegIsLate … of course..

  19. LegIsLate says:

    @ultrahan123 You also need to improve on how to handle topspin. For instance, you not only block it consistently, but also move him around, change the pace (drop shot, force block, normal block…), change the spin(chop block, side spin drop shot, in-side-out block, or a weak but strong topspin block which means at a lot of top spin without adding speed), even counter attack.
    So either he has really good loop or he pays for casual topspin. you add preasure to his top spin.

    Question: If I use the Pin hold, should I use this way too? Thanks

  21. diskfrisker says:

    Its all fine with the topspin block and stuff like this, what i have a problem with is when i try to smash the ball against a chop the ball always ends up in the net….. can you help me out….. Thanks Alot.
    Love the vids….

  22. pingskills says:

    @diskfrisker Yeah it can be difficult. Because of the backspin you need to lift the ball with a brushing action. Watch our video “Forehand Topspin Against Backspin” to see how this can be done.

  23. lildavey09 says:

    @diskfrisker It is tough to smash a back spin ball, largely because a smash is a “flat” stroke that doesn’t generate much topspin and a back spin ball has great “back” rotation. Smashing a back spin ball is like trying to return a backspin serve with your paddle “open” and facing your opponent; the ball will grip the surface of your rubber and dive into the net. Like PS said, you have to “brush the ball” reversing the backspin into topspin, not hitting flat, stroke up, brushing the rubber :)

    1:05 why you hit the ball so high? or i’m blind? :|
