How To Win At Table Tennis

Hi all – the final draft of my eBook called How to Win at Table Tennis is now finished!

How to Win at Table Tennis is a guide for newish players, to help them get up and winning faster. It’s not really aimed at intermediates and above, or for combination bat players – I’ll be expanding Greg’s Table Tennis Pages for those guys. It’s more or less a crash course for beginners to help more new players make it to the intermediate level of play, without overwhelming them with detail. Although I think more advanced players will still enjoy the eBook, and might learn a trick or two!

How Long Pips Really Work

If you are reading this article, there’s a good chance that:

  • You don’t know how to play against long pimples, and you feel that long pimples are unpredictable, unfair, and should be banned. You need some help on how to deal with them before you go out of your mind!; or
  • You are planning to use long pimples yourself (or have just started), and you are winning some points with them, and losing others, but you don’t really know what will happen next. Your opponent doesn’t know what is going on, and neither do you!

What I’m going to do in this article is explain in simple terms how long pimples work. By the time you have finished reading you should have a clear grasp of what is happening out there on the table when you use your long pips.
