Of course I was a little rusty, but I got warmed up pretty quickly. My rubber felt a little fast but my coach didn't think that it was a problem. Found anything on Borgar Haug?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/lifting-backspin-3/">Flat Lifted Ball Off Backspin</a> - 22:21</h4> <p>Esi: Both players are using inverted rubbers. Player 1 does a heavy backspin. Player 2 put his bat horizontally under the ball and lift the ball over the net, only upward action, no forward action. What spin does player 1 receive and how should he attack?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/smashing-high-return-from-long-pimples/">High Backspin Ball</a> - 24:00</h4> <p>Kristian: When my friend returns the ball high using his pimples rubber I am having trouble smashing it. He returns the ball deep on the table and if I just try and smash it, it goes into the net. If I try to use some topspin I hit it out.</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/lifting-the-backspin-of-hell/">Extreme Backspin</a> - 26:45</h4> <p>Romeo: How do I lift a push that is loaded with backspin? I had my bat horizontally, my arm move as fast as it can go, had a slightly pushing contact, but still I couldn't lift it. It is a really long and fast push and it made me lose an important match.</p> <h4>High Backspin Balls - 29:10</h4> <p>Spamm20: How to deal with high and strong backspin balls?</p> <h4>Links in this Episode</h4> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxyOVTLzrLg">Melissa Tapper Qualifies for the Olympics</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ittf.com/competitions_temp/competitions2.asp?Competition_ID=2635&category=PT">Qatar Open Results</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/match-commentary/berry-v-miao/">Berry vs Miao Match Analysis</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/forehand-topspin-against-backspin/">Forehand Topspin Against Backspin</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis-forum/smashtopspin-high-chopped-ball/">Smashing a High Backspin Ball</a></p>
