How to crack a table tennis backhand arc ball

With the popularity of the curveball technique, learning how to deal with the curveball is already a technical aspect that we must pay attention to. The common methods of catching the curve ball mainly include flat block, push block, forehand backhand, attack, backhand backhand, reverse pull curve ball, etc.

Among the above techniques, flat block and push block are more stable and less aggressive, which is more suitable for beginners to learn when they get started. Quick belt, quick tear and reverse pull are more aggressive, technically difficult, and require a long learning time to master.

Flat block: The flat block has a small force on its own, and mainly relies on the power of the borrowed ball to return the ball. The technical movement is small, similar to the forehand and backhand attacking action. The racket is slightly higher than the incoming ball, the late rise of the shot, the upper middle part of the touch.

Forehand fast belt: It is mainly used to catch the arc ball near the table, the speed is fast, and the landing point can effectively suppress the opponent's arc ball continuous attack. The lead shot should not be large, so that the hitting action is similar to the forward translation, and the waist is slightly turned, and the rotation should not be large.

Hit the ball during the rising phase of the incoming ball, and keep the point of impact in front of the body.

Reverse pull: It is mostly used for forehand, and is used to deal with curveballs with slightly higher arcs and slower speeds. The principle of hitting the ball is similar to that of a forehand curling ball.

The center of gravity of the body should be slightly higher, the feet should be in place, and it is best to have a feeling of pressing the ball with the body and then throwing it out, and the waist should be tightened and forced. Emphasize your own active force friction to overcome the spin of the incoming ball.

Backhand: The technique of cross-shot backhand quick tear arc ball refers to when the ball is served or returned to the opponent, the opponent pulls the ball up to his backhand position by pulling the arc ball, and then we can use this technique to do a good job of defending and attacking. The front top of the body, the right shoulder and elbow joint are slightly raised, and the racket lead is small and the lead position is slightly higher.

Lean forward appropriately in the shape of the beat. In the early stage of the upspin ball, the paddle is swung forward and upward, and the point of impact is in front of the chest and abdomen. When hitting the ball, hold the racket tightly, swing forward quickly, and use your thumb and forefinger to grip the shoulder of the racket to control the rotation of the incoming ball, and quickly rub the middle and upper part of the ball.

In addition to the above common methods, there are also backhand squeezing curve balls used by straight-shot players, which are often used by Ma Lin, a straight-shooting player in China. The technical action is similar to pushing the ball downspin, but when it touches the ball, it is in the middle or lower part of the left side and squeezes the ball down to the left side.

In addition to the flat block, several other fast belts, reverse pulls, reverse tears, and attack arc ball technology This site has a detailed technical introduction, please refer to the article on dealing with the curve ball in the arc ball skills column of this site.

It's a long story. It boils down to a few words: center of gravity exchange, friction, arc control.

Shoot back with a straight curveball.

First of all, let's first take a look at the chipping and rubbing the ball related to the downspin, we are dealing with the simplest and most labor-saving return is to rub back again (here is not ** short, skimming, picking and various offensive ways of returning), and the effort of rubbing the ball is because the racket is facing up when rubbing the ball, that is, the angle of the return ball is directly controlled and locked in the upward direction, so the probability of going to the net is small. And when we use the arc ball to deal with the opponent's downspin ball, because the downspin strength of the chipping ball is much greater than that of the rubbing ball, so the moment our racket touches the ball, it must touch the lower third of the ball, that is, the paddle surface should be facing up first, and the big arm exerts force (mainly the upper arm) to support the ball upwards for a while, and it is estimated that it can cross the net, and then quickly rotate the forearm and wrist and quickly retract the forearm (increase the swing speed) to rub the ball to produce topspin and return the ball (at this time, the direction of force is forward and down). The point here is that you should never lean forward when you hit the ball, and that's why you go to the net.

At the moment of hitting the ball, the paddle leans forward and touches the opponent's then spin without going to the net, you just pull up hard and it is useless, because the angle of your paddle surface has determined that the ball will go down, so the moment of hitting the ball must be a short period of time up and then turn forward and down. The angle of the paddle at the moment of hitting the ball is determined according to the degree of downspin of the opponent's incoming ball, the non-rotating and slightly downspin can lean forward, the vertical at medium speed, and the special rotation must be leaned backward, that is, the paddle face is facing up. But it can't be too flat, if it's too flat, the degree of topspin of the ball will be small, but it will be very labor-saving, not under the net, easy to return the ball, and of course the offensive effect will be poor.

Let's just say this, it's purely a personal and more amateurish opinion, please don't laugh.

There is skill in playing this kind of downspin ball, you can't hit it gently, first, you have to make a dark force, pull a little bit, push through. You can also play downspin or spin left and right to counteract his downspin. The trick is to have the strength of the moment you play the ball, otherwise you must go online, this is more practice, find the feeling, play more and feel it, and talk about experience.

What about this kind of ball, you can choose to give him a downspin ball, a light pendulum, a downspin speed point.

The ball cut by the opponent is strongly downspined, so the ball must be eaten steadily, and the friction can be too high, if it is still under the net, the friction is not enough. Wait for the ball to descend and slowly add half a beat to the arc, and try to concentrate the force of turning the waist and closing the forearm. Relax before hitting the ball and exert force at the moment of hitting the ball.

This is the basic essentials of pulling the ball. You can refer to more books to understand several elements and action structures of batting, and finally you need to practice more.
