The vast majority of table tennis enthusiasts who use anti-glue do not like to play with long glue players. When encountering long rubber players with similar levels, they often can't practice during training, and they can't beat them in the game. In fact, as long as you understand and master the principle of long glue, you will find that long glue is the best sparring, and playing with long glue is very helpful to improve your various table tennis skills, especially rubbing and pulling the ball.
First of all, we must understand the basic principles and operating rules of long glue. The basic principle of long glue is anti-rotation and borrowing. It is a bit of a martial art that means "treat his body in the way of a man". The running law is that when the ball is up-spinning ball, it becomes a lower-spinning ball through the long glue block; when the incoming ball is a downward rotation ball, it becomes an up-spinning ball through the long glue block; when the ball is not rotated, it is also not rotated through the long glue block.
Let's look at two classic long glue principle animations to make it clearer.
1. The long rubber block rotates upwards
When the ball hit by the opponent is an upward spinning ball, the bending and slipping of the long glue particles retain the rotation of the incoming ball when the long glue blocks back. The rotation of the return ball is unchanged, the direction is reversed, so it becomes a downward spiral ball back.
2. Long glue block rotates downwards
When the opponent hits the ball is a downward spiral ball, the bending and slipping of the long glue particles retain the rotation of the incoming ball when the long glue blocks back. The rotation of the return ball does not change, the direction is reversed, so it becomes an upward spiral ball back.
The above is the basic principle of the long glue back ball. Due to the presence of long glue material, when the ball is strong, the long glue particles have lodging and whipping effects, the ball control is more stable, and the quality of the return ball is higher. When the ball is powerful, the long glue particles do not have much bending, so it is not easy to control the ball, and the return ball has no quality. This feature of long glue is also one of the basic ideas of anti-glue players to play long glue, and we will not expand on it here. Talk about how to use the characteristics of long glue to practice better.
First, enhance the feel, practice a rub and a dozen
As can be seen from the above two animations, the upper spinning ball becomes a lower spinning ball after a long glue counterattack, and the lower spinning ball becomes an upper spinning ball after a long glue counterattack. In this way, when we practice with the long glue players, we can first send an upper spinning ball, and the long glue will become a downward spinning ball after hitting back, at this time, we must press the spinning ball to process and rub it back. After the lower spinning ball passes, the long glue turns into an upper spinning ball after hitting back, at this time it is necessary to press the upper spinning ball to deal with it, hit it back or block it back. The long rhythm is a rub, a dozen, a rub, a dozen, so that rubbing and playing can be practiced very well. Master this rhythm, you will find that your feel will be clearer, and the ability to adjust and control table tennis will go up to a higher level.
2. Practice pulling the ball continuously
It is very comfortable to practice continuous pulling and turning arc balls with long glue players. The ball that the long glue player hits back after blocking the spinning ball is equivalent to the ball that the cutter cuts back, and is more stable and of higher quality than the ball that the cutter cuts back (depending on the quality of your pulling ball). Long glue hands can continuously block arc circles, while few amateur players can continuously and stably cut more than three arcs.
So when you want to practice continuous pulling and turning arc balls, find a long rubber player with a good level to practice. How many arc balls you can pull in a row depends on your feel and basic skills, basically do not consider whether the long rubber player can turn the ball back. Because for long rubber players, it is very easy to block a plate back to the arc ball, there is no difficulty.
As long as you practice with the long glue players for a while, you will know the performance of the long glue. The most important thing is that through the practice with the long glue players, your hand feel of controlling the ball and the basic skills of pulling the arc circle ball will be improved a lot. When you meet a long glue player in the competition, you know how to deal with it. It is nothing more than a change in the serve rush, plus the holding stage with a rub and a dozen or continuous pulling and turning arc circle ball around. It is not difficult to beat long glue.
