    Tip of the Day - Flat Flip vs. Topspin Flip

    Larry Hodges Nov. 27, 2013

    Suppose you face an opponent who serves short, and loops your long returns, even if you flip them. 



  • Edward Kuo

    Tip of the Day - Inside-Out Forehand Floppy Wrist Flip

    Larry Hodges Nov. 26, 2013

    When an opponent serves short to the forehand, many players reach in and return it with a nearly stiff wrist, and invariably go crosscourt with a forehand flip.


  • Arseniy Gusev

    Tip of the Day - Back Up Slightly When Opponent Backs Up

    Larry Hodges Nov. 25, 2013

    Suppose you’ve hit a quick, hard shot, and your opponent has moved five feet back to return the ball with a counterdrive or soft topspin. 

  • Koki Niwa

    Tip of the Day - Aim One Way, Go the Other

    Larry Hodges Nov. 24, 2013

    Many players develop strong rally shots. However, they are often very, very predictable. An opponent can anticipate where each ball is going early in your stroke, and so always has lots of time to get to the ball.

  • Artur Gigorev

    Tip of the Day - Go Down the Line From Wide Forehand

    Larry Hodges Nov. 23, 2013

    When an opponent goes to your wide forehand, they give you an extreme angle into their wide forehand.



  • Fan Zhen Dong

    Tip of the Day - Another Way to Adjust to Slippery Floors

    Nov. 22, 2013

    Carry a spare bottle of liquid rubber cleaner.

  • Fan Zhen Dong

    Tip of the Day - Improving a Level

    Larry Hodges Nov. 21, 2013

    What does it mean to move up a level in table tennis? I’d define two players to be on different levels if it would be a major upset if one defeated the other. 
     


  • Lee Ho CHing

    Tip of the Day - The Backhand Sidespin Push

    Larry Hodges Nov. 20, 2013

    You’re out of position, and your about to do a backhand chop to stay in the point. 


  • Seo Hyo Won

    Tip of the Day - The No-Spin Backhand Chop

    Larry Hodges Nov. 19, 2013

    You’re out of position, and your about to do a backhand chop to stay in the point. 


  • Ai Fukuhara

    Tip of the Day - The Quick Backhand Topspin Receive

    Larry Hodges Nov. 18, 2013

    One of the more effective ways to receive backspin serves to the backhand is with a right-off-the-bounce backhand topspin flip.
