    Posted: 11/01/2010 at 1:45pm
I'm looking to further develop a close to/over the table FH attack for myself, and also be in a position so I can explain it to another player who is looking to add it to their arsenal.

I had no luck with search.

It's a stroke I developed playing matches and learning to third ball and I currently use it against a variety of balls ranging from dead to medium underspin.

I'd like to clean up the motion (I'll post video here soon) and make it more versatile (meaning only minor adjustments needed for different spins).

It's more of a drive over the table than a loop, with a fairly big non-compact stroke and an upward motion finish.

The closest thing I can find to what I would like to model it after is Liu Gouliang's pips out attacking:

I can't help you with your search, but I want to thank you for posting that Guoliang/Lin match. That was pure awesomeness.

I know exactly what stroke you are talking about. The main idea when trying to get enough spin and keep the ball on the table is to snap your wrist up on contact. Continue driving straight through. I usually do this with my arm almost completely extended if not fully.

This one stroke and a few serves got me to US1000.
I still find the that it "goes through" such a range of different balls remarkable.

I want to be able to "pass it on" to someone who already has a good backhand.

And ideally, I'd like to have it's counterpart on the BH as well, but due to some glaring technique limitations (not enough leg involvement, lack of squaring myself to the ball, and a bad habit of "reaching"), I can only BH over the table attack under and side under serves and mid depth pushes right now.

That type of backhand attack is always a harder shot (at least for me) since it has to employ more leverage from both the wrist and the elbow. The timing is harder for me to get right but what I have found that helps is to try and make contact with a little hookspin so that the contact with the ball is not directly tangent to the underspin rotation. It helps me not have to lift as much and gives me a little more control.

thats a good shot to practice if you can someone hit to the same place or play against a fixed robot.
is this shot with reduced topspin but more drive and withsome flatness in the stroke or are you wanting to drive the ball more upwards and over

I'll see if I can shoot some FH/BH footage Sunday to show what I want to learn/share.

Sorry for the delay. So hard to describe what I want to do, but if you've played againbst a high level penholder and accidentally put balls to mid table (no matter how low the bounce) the destruction (to either corner) they are able to unleash is what i want to emulate.

The way I learned the stroke was to drive it a bit more and take it earlier off the bounce. It's almost not necessary for it to be above net height and it's frequently played with a more open face and upward motion at contact while moving forward.

omg it's convex.
stop me now.

at least that's what I think I'm doing. I'll have a more detailed view when I get a chance to video it tomorrow.

 Just note that a penholders bat is pointing down so the player can do this shot easier
 
 Im thinking that this shot you want to do is more like the top of the bounce wack, so comming forward and meeting the ball early is the key ... but keep posting and someone will help you out

yogi -

i see what you mean - on the FH side i think i hit it flatter/earlier with less of a loop stroke - you are definitely looping the ball!

i like what you were doing on your BH tho - that's exactly the sort of quick attack I am looking to get consistent with.

right now i am limited to using my BH "attack" against certain pendulum service (the ones with the right mix of side under)
