Table tennis spin and placement
Topspin makes the ball dip and then jump forward after it bounces. In this game, flick up as you hit.
Backspin (a chop) makes the ball float low and short. Pull back as you hit.
Aim for the corners and sides to make your opponent run. A short ball near the net pulls them forward.
Hit the ball with the middle of the bat for a Perfect hit. It's faster and fills your Shot meter twice as fast.
