From Winning Streak to Sweep! Joseph’s Attack Style Took Me Down! 🏓😅

Some things I noticed: When you push over the table, you're stepping off to the side instead of forward (see 0:01 vs 0:05). Try to focus on having the ball "bite" into the rubber, like you used to before your break. It looked like you were just putting the paddle under the ball and that's contributing to the lack of control. Remember! Try to push early off the bounce. When you're trying to lift backspin, especially with your BH, it looked like you were almost always using just your wrist, possibly because you were reaching? (0:11, 1:13, etc) Lastly, remember the pulling feeling when your trying to add spin!

Yeah, this is correct. ALL of it. With the backhands, it was very wristy - completely the wrong stroke.

Have you had a chance to talk to some of your club mates about how to add more spin to your serves?

[@BenSucksAtPingPong]

Actually, not specifically. I've resorted to KZbin on this, and even bought a course on it a while back. I go between spinny serves and intentional non-spinny serves. I definitely know the difference in 'feel' of a spinny serve, and it's generally on a horrible stance that I've been trying to correct - I think that is more appropriate to do and then work myself back up. I think my priorities are, in ascending order (and also in my skills:) 1. Correct stance 1b: Correct placement 2. Adding spin 3. Adding deception

Ben, do you take lessons at all?

[@BenSucksAtPingPong]

@@avatarjonathan3568 yes, I do have a coach, but I haven't been to him in a while because of work, unfortunately.
