Look under the Strokes section and view the videos to learn how to do the spins. Every Ping Pong player has a secret weapon. They only use it when they need it, it could be a special serve they use or a special spin. Every player should have a trick or two to use when they are pressured and on the edge of losing the game.

Learn a few tips and apply them on your friends.

Keep the face of the racquet facing about 45 degree angle down the table. Once you get the ball high on your end of the table attempt to kind of whip it like you were showing your driving license to the cop. I hope you can see what I mean by that, in any case I’m planning on adding more videos to the site and making them a lot nicer down the road.

How do I change my defense into offence?

In Ping Pong its very easy to be pressured to play defense when your opponent hit a hard shot and forces you to play the defensive shots.
The way you change that tactic is by hitting deep slice into the table. By doing this method you will force your opponent to retreat a bit and hit a high ball shot in which you can attach it and move towards playing offense.

Well, in order for you to be quick and responsive to the fast game of ping pong. You have to be in good shape. It’s very hard to stay in shape in winter especially. However, I look at it as the time for rebuilding. Take a look at your long term goals and set short term goals for your fitness. Hit the treadmill and the stepper. By the end of winter you would be in the best shape and read for all kinds of challenges. GoodLuck

I usually have good leads on people and yet still lose; how do I prevent this from happening? Well the answer is simple, it’s all mental. If you keep your mind in the game whether your winning or losing, you are still going to have a better chance of winning then losing.

Key is keep your mind focused on every point, even easy shots or points should be taken seriously. If you were a head 15 -5, you still shouldn’t take it easy on your opponent or lose focus. That’s what defines champions, they give it all they got all the time.

Remember table tennis is a very tough mental game.

There are different ways you can approach this, First try to relax and just have fun dont think about winnning or losing; just think about playing good. I find it sometimes good to forget about the score and just hit the ball.

If you think about it too much your losing on the time to react to a ball, table tennis is a hit and react game not too much thinking should be involved.

Try new things, hit to the weakness of your opponent if he\she has one.

Key is have fun!

It’s for Xbox 360; I saw the preview of the game and I have to say it looks pretty sweet!

Topspin shot is generated by going under the ball and then upwards, kinda like writing the “C” letter starting from bottom to top. I also refer to it as a ball on the beach and you’re tryign to push that ball on the sand. You start going from underneath the ball into a curve motion. This gives the ball this topspin in which its top spins at first.
