When I was a beginner at the table tennis game, I had this wrong notion that the muscles on my upper arm also called biceps give more speed and spin – more muscle means hard smash. Lately, when I did try out few things, I have found the forearm plays a great role in increasing the speed and spin of the ball.
The fingers on our hands do not have any muscle. The muscles in the forearm are the contributing factor to the amount of force generated through our fingers. To your surprise, some of the strongest men of the world can generate force up to a 500 pounds crane can do.
It is important to relax the upper arm, and use always the forearm in the games. The next step is developing snapping the ball with forearm. Snapping the ball at the back can generate enormous speed. Snapping at the top to the equator of the ball can generate top spin. The amount of top spin can increase if snapping is collaborated with brushing.
