How to Receive a Side Spin Serve: Different Directions and Rotations – Technique for Avoiding Side Deflection
Click to view the video tutorial.
Let's take a look at this player, Zhang Tianxing, who asked a lot of questions. I can't answer them all, so I'll just talk about the short ball issue. As mentioned earlier, how to spin the ball when brushing, I won't repeat it. Let’s talk about how to brush the side-up side-down spin. When the side-up side-down spin ball comes, it has a certain side deflection. So we also need to avoid the ball’s side deflection direction when brushing. For example, when we see the ball running towards us, it’s turning to the right. When brushing, we need to brush from the right side, which will make it easier to avoid the side spin. So when brushing, you can pull your hand a little to avoid the ball’s side deflection arc, which is equivalent to avoiding its rotation axis, and it won’t easily get eaten by the side spin. This allows us to better control its arc.
If it's a side-down spin, when brushing, it turns to the right, so when brushing, you should go in the direction of his backhand, going in a straight line. You can’t still brush in a diagonal direction, otherwise the brush will go out of bounds. This is about controlling the direction.
Furthermore, the control of rotation (up and down spin). If you know it's a side-up side-down spin, don't go brush it. Just lift your wrist slightly and push it forward. The ball will pass through. It’s a very passive way to deal with it. You don’t need to chop it down.
Let’s take a look at this player’s forehand attack and backhand push. Everyone can take a look at this push, which is completely forward and backward, pushing the ball with arms, the arms don’t draw a half-circle, and the body’s center of gravity is relatively high. The ball toss is also quite high. If you stand normally, the center of gravity of your two feet presses down, and the place of your waist and hips should be lower than the table surface. When hitting the ball, there should be an upward arc, not pushing the arm forward and backward for power.
Let's take a look at his forehand attack ball. The forehand attack ball is okay. The forehand attack ball is good, this action is relatively standardized, and the center of gravity is still a little high, then a little (wèi wàn) (wrist flick), the rest is okay.
This player said about the big ball era pure wood CL, what forehand should be recommended rubber? In the big ball era, pure wood bottom board can be played, but a little bit, the base strength should be a little better. In fact, after the big ball, many players still play CL, but you need to pay attention to the rubber matching. The rubber cannot be matched too soft, the sponge base strength must be good, so you should choose the 'Kuangfa' rubber, it is recommended to choose a slightly higher degree, if it's too soft, you won't be able to produce power. Recommend trying Pingpongwang's D province set and Pingpongwang's 'Benten II', these rubbers have better base strength, and the ball will come out faster, and they are more suitable for 40+ big ball players.
