When you’re shopping for your first real ping pong paddle, the ping pong control rating is the single most important number you’ll see. It’s the difference between having fun and wanting to throw your paddle against the wall. Two paddles in the beginner space boast a perfect control 100 paddle rating: the Palio Expert 3.0<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You know that sinking feeling. You’ve been playing with your favorite paddle for a while, and the rubber just isn’t gripping like it used to. The serves don’t bite. The loops don’t dip. You think, “No problem \u2013 I’ll just peel off the old rubber and stick on a fresh one.” You grab a corner,<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This is a question I often hear from penhold players, especially those who rely heavily on close-to-the-table play: “Mr. Su, my forehand block feels unstable. Sometimes it goes long, sometimes it drops into the net. How can I make it more consistent?” After many years of observing players, I have found that forehand blocking stability<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This is one of the most frustrating situations for penhold players. You watch videos. You copy the professionals. You practice multiball.

This is a problem I hear very often from penhold players: “Mr. Su, my RPB keeps going into the net.

This is a question that many penhold players eventually start to ask: “When I play RPB, should I be using my fingers to generate power? And how exactly should I use them?” After more than 30 years of observing players, my answer is always the same: Your fingers should not \u201cforce\u201d power.

This is probably one of the questions I have spent the most time thinking about over the past 30 years. Many penhold players can perform an RPB. But very few can use it to win points consistently. There is a big difference. An RPB that simply puts the ball back on the table is a<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
