Professional players have abandoned technique of adding loop balls just because of these front loop ball characteristics.

This edition of Wet Father tutorial mainly introduces characteristics of Forward Cycle and a few points to be aware of when performing a Forward Pull Cycle. For more details, check out this episode's tutorial.

1. Loop Forward Ball Characteristics

As name implies, straight loop ball has a very strong impact and very high speed. Its quality is very high, and it seems that it has fallen into past.

In fact, its rotation is also very strong. The forward speed of looped ball captured by high speed camera will be higher than some looped balls when friction force is sufficient, but impact force is also very strong. high hanging. Almost all boards are played forward. Lethality, while a ball with a straight loop can be fast and turning.

Therefore, current extra spin and high loop ball are commonly used against a chipper because ball is spinning on purpose after chip is sheared and there is too much risk if plate goes forward. high hang) is main guarantee to get on stage and then look for opportunities to attack.

Second, similarities and differences between dashing forward and arcing ball

(1) Same power structure

The whole way of applying force is same as moving ball forward in loop and spinning ball in loop. Both coordination and interaction of whole body (waist and hip) are used, and impact also causes rotation.

There are two ways to rotate. One of them is due to friction, in which ball rubs very finely and rotates.

Another way is to strike. The direction of impact force is relatively close to center of ball, but force is very strong and can also generate a tangential force. With a tangential force, ball will naturally rotate, so the force can create rotation.

(2) Force direction different

The forward motion of loop ball and pull racket are actually similar, but direction of force and trajectory of strike must be adjusted according to position of incoming ball. If incoming ball has little backspin, if arc is relatively high, then there is no need to pull too hard racket down while dribbling, but it is enough to drive racket straight back and increase effort forward.

If backspin of incoming ball is also very strong, arc is also very low and it can still move forward, then swing of racket should be lower and upward and forward force should be increased. exerting force, ratio of impact and friction is well adjusted.

Third, relationship between impact and friction

Impact and friction complete at the same time. It simply means that there is more impact and friction.

Fourthly, racket type control

Whether there is more friction or translational force is determined by action of swing. For example, arc of ball is slightly high. The ground presses forward when ball is pulled. If arc of incoming ball is a little low and backspin is a little strong, if you want to throw yourself forward, you must pull racket back and down a little, and then whole action of pulling ball up. To push forward, center of gravity must be raised up from below, and there is an upward force.
