How To Play Offensive in Ping Pong

It takes a long time to learn and master the game of ping-Pong.The key to success is choosing your playing style from the beginning.The three main styles of playing are offensive, defensive and neutral.In offensive style, you want to hit loops, top-spins, and smashes.The key to success in this style is to have the perfect form and drive, good concentration, and of course great reflexes.

Step 1: Warm up before you play.

Step 2: Warming up by hitting the ball with the bat slowly then moderate.

You adapt your body to the different speeds of the ball.Spin should never be used in a warm up.

Step 3: It's practice.

Get a friend to hit the ball for you.When the ball bounces on your side of the table, start the forehand topspin drive to hit it.You want to hit the ball in the 1 or 2 o'clock angle.The ball will get good top spin if you hit it this way.The ball will spin if you hit it with your racket closed and partially tilted to the right.

Step 4: The loop drive is the main attacking stroke of serious players.

A loop is similar to a drive in that it emphasizes top spin over forward motion.A stronger upward motion is required in the swing to hit the ball.They can go just as fast as the drive, approaching 100 mph (160 km/h) for an over-the-table loop by a talented player.Try hitting decent loops against extreme backspin if you have doubts about the endurance requirements of table tennis.For the first time, players not used to this stroke may find it tiring.

Step 5: The loop must be modified to hit the ball correctly if it is a characteristic of the incoming ball.

The swing should go forward more if the ball is coming in fast and high with heavy topspin.If a chop came floating your way, the correct thing to do would be to open the paddle and perform a strong upwards swing.Think of it as pulling the ball up with a paddle.The loop is a tough stroke due to this.As the ball touches the paddle for only a short time, as well as meeting on a more parallel path, good timing is critical to avoid completely missing it.Keeping a sharp eye on the ball throughout the stroke is important, as it is for all other strokes.

Step 6: Forehand loop.

Transfer your weight to the right foot from the ready position.The paddle should be brought back and slightly down depending on which spin you are hitting against.You should bend your knees slightly.If you want to add more force to the stroke, start it by rotating the waist and hips forward.When you meet the ball, the forearms should accelerate from the backswing to contact, snapping for maximum speed.Hit the balls at the top of the bounce.Hit balls that are dropping.Follow-through forward for top spins and upward for back spins.The weight should be transferred back to the left foot.

Step 7: There is a backhand loop.

The backswing goes in front of your legs, and you should drop your right shoulder to do it.Don't let the other parts of your body distract you from keeping an eye on the ball.Transfer the weight from your waist to the left foot.If you want to hit the ball at the top of the bounce, hit it with a forward motion, but remember to just grazed it as opposed to driving it.At contact, snap your wrist.If you want to hit your nose in the follow-through, remember to apply more of an upward motion, but also add a bit of forward force.I don't think it's a good idea to default due to a self-inflicted nosebleed.That's right.

Step 8: The notes are on the loop.

Since a lot of paddle speed is required in this stroke, the extra backswing, bending of the knees, and the usual waist rotation and weight transfer are all needed, not to mention the wrist snap at contact.The higher speeds can only be achieved on relatively high balls at the top of the bounce.For most rallies, use something between the all-out topspin loop and extreme backspin pull-up.If you use the high arcsing loop too much it can lead to a deadly smash by your opponent.If you can go through the swing naturally, both your speed and consistency will improve.The tackiness of the rubber will affect how much spin and control you put on your loop.If at all, bad rubber is weak loops.

Step 9: There is a Forehand Drive.

Don't flush the upper arm to the torso.The forearm should be drawn back to the 3 o'clock position and the waist should turn naturally along with the arm.At the same time, shift your weight to the right foot.While shifting your weight back to your left foot, swing forward with a slight upward motion, with the waist providing additional force in the swing.The elbow should be used as a pivot point, but only if it is allowed to move slightly forward in the follow-through.The ball should be hit slightly to the side of the body after the bounce.The paddle should be somewhat closed and facing downwards throughout the stroke.When the racket is parallel with the left shoulder, follow-through should end.Go back to the ready position.The right foot should be in front of the left foot.

Step 10: Backhand drive

The racket is pointing towards the 9 o'clock position from the ready position.When following through, the contact with the ball is made in front of the body.The elbow should act as the pivot point, and the forearm should be snapped forward in a slightly upward direction.The paddle needs to be closed.After contact with the ball, follow-through should finish naturally.The right foot should be ahead of the left foot.

Step 11: These are the basic terms of ping pong.
