How do you generate more power on counters when the ball is away from your body?
I have pretty fast hands and can consistently defend and make contact during hands battles. When the ball comes directly towards my body, I can punch hard and downwards. However, when the ball is further away from my body, on either my forehand or backhand side, my counters become much weaker.
I can still keep up in fast hands battles, but I struggle to put those balls away aggressively. I've seen high level players slap these balls down hard for winners, and I'm wondering what technique allows them to do that. #sport source
Just found out my paddle is fake after using it for a year.
So my dad told me the other day that my JOOLA Hyperion 16mm is a counterfeit. He'd picked it up when he was trying out paddles, and I've been playing with it for about a year without knowing. Honestly it's been fine, which is kind of why I'm curious what a real one would feel like. He told me he got the thing from China for 20 bucks.
Anyone else been in this kind of situation before? I feel like a kid finding out again that Santa isn’t real!
Anyone been through something similar, and what would you recommend? Is it time for a new paddle? #sport source
