Part 2

Forehand quick pull technique

By using an improved forehand quick pull style, Xiaozao reduces the range of movements, improves the speed of batting connection and rhythm, and makes the return of the ball faster and more powerful.

01. Twist your waist and twist your hips instead of turning your waist

The traditional ball-pulling movement focuses on kicking, turning, and retracting, that is, kicking the legs, turning the waist, and retracting the forearms, which results in a larger range of motion, a slower ball return speed, and the waist is prone to injury. Xiao Zao uses waist twisting and hip twisting instead. The right abdomen is the core power point of the waist, and the power of the feet plays an auxiliary role, focusing all the power on the hitting point.

02. Use your forearms to exert force

Xiaozao's improved ball-pulling action is very consistent with the mechanical structure and is more labor-saving and advanced. When pulling fast in the middle and near the table, she uses her forearms to drive her wrists to shake, and at the moment of hitting the ball, she quickly brakes the racket, forming a "braking" action.

03. Adjust the position of thumb and fingers

By flexibly adjusting the position of the thumb and index finger, the ball is wrapped better, making the ball produce a certain arc and the landing point changes more.

04. Practice

If you want to learn Xiaozao's overhand quick pull technique, you can practice by twisting your waist, reducing the range of motion, and using your forearms to exert force! The ball pulled out in this way is faster and more accurate!

Part 3

Timing

01. Grab the rising period

Xiaozao usually seizes the rising phase of the incoming ball, giving opponents and spectators the feeling that they can hit the ball as soon as it is there. By grabbing the rising period, the flight distance of the incoming ball can be greatly shortened and the opponent's reaction time can be reduced. Xiaozao can easily control the rhythm on the court.

02. Hit the loop ball

Xiaozao's looping style is both entertaining and practical. One of the reasons is that she chooses to hit back the looping ball that spins quickly and is unstable during the rising period. In order to gain the speed advantage, Xiaozao has a larger impact component on the incoming ball and uses the natural friction advantage of anti-glue to ensure the success of the impact. In this way, Xiaozao fully utilized the techniques of fast attack and pull, impact and friction.

03. Practice

Everyone can choose the timing of hitting the ball according to their own situation. If your own strength is average but you want to increase the threat of returning the ball, you can choose to hit the ball in the late rise and high point period. If you develop your own strength well, you can hit the ball at the high point and early decline.
