Spinnier Serve

To make spinny serves I was told to let your wrist loose while grazing or slicing the ball. I tried that and it worked good. I got some points from the serves.

vs Mat Nor(3-2)
Strength
- spinny and varies serves
- backhand block
- placing push on serves.
weakness
- backhand stroke only for blocks

vs Zuri (0-3)
weakness
- short return got spinny loop
- popup from block on spinny loop
- away from table didnot help for counter his spinny loop.
reflective;
- need to return serve better(speedier or use forehand).

vs Hazlee(3-1)
another upset.
Strength:
- 3 rd ball attack after good serves
- some backspin serves got points
- fast forehand return on serve

Setup
TBS sriver G2/EL

Faster But Less Spin (G2)

Last night I used G2 on forehand and El on backhand. Ball travel faster and playing style was aggresive attacker. Some faster ball got block and hard to return. I need to step back after attack for more time to apply next stroke. Spin of ball getting less because of the speed.

Game result;

vs Hamid(2-3) & (0-3)
weak
- his fast & spinny serve to my backhand hard to return . Ball fly high and got killed. Try backhand loop but not working. Maybe I need more practice of this.
-serve got attacked

vs Zuri(0-3)
Easy win for him.
weak
- his spinny loop hard to block and counter.
- receiving serve.
- fast drive got blocked.
suggest
- step back after stroke
- avoid gopoh
- give time to apply backhand loop/drive

vs M. Nor(3-2)- upset
strength- fast serve to body foolow by 3rd ball attack

Setup
TBS sriver G2/EL

Need For Forehand Rubber

My current forehand rubber (sriver EL) may not suite my style. The rubber is not fast enough for quick attack but good for spin. For away from table this rubber is not powerful but good for slow spinny loop. These characteristics do not suit my forehand attack and I need for other choice. When using setup EL/G2 I lost some games but I can win by switching to G2/EL. Seemed like G2 is better on my forehand.

Result
vs Hj Din(3-2)- down 0-2 but win after attack to his weakness (forehand).
vs Mie JKR(3-2)- mainly stroke play
vs Mie Sulong( 4-2) down to 0-2 but come back later after flip to G2/EL.

Setup
TBS sriver EL/G2

Faster bhand or forehand?

Sriver EL -good control but less speed compare to Sriver G2.
Passive block- ball get very slow. So I 'd be better using G2 on bhand and EL on my forehand.
Maybe I need to change sriver EL to other faster/spinneir rubber for my forehand. I'm thinking of Tenergy 05 or Blue Whale II but they arent available in nearby store.

Game Result
vs Hamid(1-4)- not a bad game anyway.
vs Mnor(2-2)- I'm getting better.

Tip from companion:
Serve backspin more by holding bat horizontal and make contact on different lower spot.

Setup
TBS sriver EL/G2

Confused Again

I got confused again about my setup. Sometime TBS sriver EL/G2 is good but sometime it vice versa. Below are my judgment about my setup

Sriver EL on forehand compared to G2:
1. more control
2. more spin
3. less speed
4. good for looping
5. more on defence
6. good serves

Sriver EL on backhand:
1. Control opening loop
2. less speed
3. less chop effect- using G2 I got more points from chop return serves.

Result
vs Matnor (1-3)
vs Zuri (1-3)
vs guest(3-2) win after change setup to G2/EL
vs Mie JKR (3-1)

Setup
TBS EL/G2

Off Table Block

serve:
-short serve getting better, hard for m.nor & Lie to attack. Got some points from good serve.
-good backhand loop on slow serve return
- need to improve backhand block on fast serve return

receive serve:
- backhand chop good
- need faster forehand return on no spin ball either attack or loops.

attack:
Lack opportunity of third ball attack against those two players. Lack of loops from either side(f/hand and backhand). Attacking style more of hit/smash. For stable performance I need to do more control loops.
Backhand attack need to be improved.

defence:
was forced to be defender. Good defence against them but need to be more of attacking defender. Try counterloop instead of passive block.

Result
vs Hj Din (5-0)
vs Azlie(2-3)
vs M. Nor(2-3)
