In table tennis, splitting technique has always been a highly valued technique. Although the pendulum shorting technique was used frequently, with the advent of the new ball, the application of twisting and pulling technology has increased significantly, and may even surpass the pendulum short. However, the splitting technique is relatively easier to master, but it is more threatening and remains obsolete after decades of development. Despite this, the splitting technique has not received enough attention for a long time.
Now, I'm going to put together some insights on splitting techniques for you, hoping to help you improve your skills and win more exciting matches in the new year!
The splitting technique is incredibly fast, and can instantly hit the ball deep into the opponent's court when the opponent is not prepared, making it difficult for the opponent to react in time.
True to its name, this technique hits the ball with a long line, forcing the opponent to move to the baseline area to receive the ball, which not only consumes the opponent's physical strength, but also creates an opportunity for himself to attack.
Not only is the splitting technique fast, but it can also add strong spin, making the ball more difficult to deal with by opponents, increasing the variety and difficulty of the attack.
The splitting technique keeps the ball's trajectory low and flat, making it difficult for opponents to accurately judge where the ball will land and make high-quality counterattacks.
In actual competitions, players usually use the splitting technique according to the position and condition of their opponents. When the opponent is in a forward position or the quality of the return is not high, the split technique will receive better results. In addition, combining the split length technique with the swing short technique can disrupt the opponent's rhythm and increase the uncertainty and competitiveness of the match.
Table tennis splitting is an effective return technique that requires players to add strong spin in a fast, low arc to split the ball deep into the opponent's court, limiting the opponent's attacking opportunities and creating offensive opportunities for themselves. Here are some key points:
The splitting technique is usually performed late in the rise or high point of the ball, which can increase the speed and suddenness of the ball and put more pressure on the opponent.
To hit a powerful split ball, the wrist needs to be open laterally to create enough friction and spin to increase the threat of the ball.
The contact point for the forehand split should be slightly below the right side of the ball (5-6 o'clock), while the backhand split should be deflected to the lower left (7 o'clock) to ensure the direction and spin of the ball.
When practising the splitting technique, it is necessary to match the appropriate footwork, usually two steps, to ensure that the body can keep up with the rhythm of the ball and complete the accurate strokes.
When splitting long, the shot should be fast and powerful, making it difficult for the opponent to predict the ball path and spin, and do not hesitate to miss the best time to shoot.
High-quality split balls should reach near the baseline, and you can choose to hit the opponent's open position or chase position, forcing the opponent to keep moving and increasing the opponent's error rate.
In addition, the biggest difference between the splitting technique and the rubbing is that it stands out for speed and length, and then adds spin on top of that. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the use of the forearm and the adjustment of the shape of the plate at the moment of touching the ball to cope with the rotation of the opponent.
To sum up, the key to table tennis splitting technology lies in the accurate selection of timing, the flexible use of the wrist, the accurate grasp of the contact point, the coordination and cooperation of footwork, the swiftness of the shot speed and the reasonable choice of the line landing point. Only by mastering these points will players be able to better control the situation in the game and lay the groundwork for further attacks.
