I know that you so not need to be a good player to be a good coach, But it would be interesting to know how good this Guy have been. Anyone knows?
I can imagine that they want it to sound good so Maybe they make it sound better than it really is.
I have a hard time Seeing that he could have been so good with that technique. But the technique Do not need ro be perfect, as long as it works for you so Maybe he was so good.
For Schlagers not so pretty technique, he did achieve to become a world champion
So yeah, not perfect technique by the eye can indeed get results
iIt is very old fashion loop.No chance today with this kind of loop.Look at loop of Zhand jike and compare,Much shorter stroke.Actually Tao li I think was a penholder when he was young,saw some videos on you tube as a penholder.

For anyone quickly discounting what coach Li says sometimes...
I have seen explanations of Coach Li boil down a concept into an easy to understand and implementable approach.
One example is when asked how to be more aggressive on BH.
Coach Li answered that everything starts with the block, and then gets progressively aggressive from there.
- soft hand right off bounce.
- increasingly firmer hand
- move bat through black a little
- let ball bounce up a little and go through more
- step back inches and use a little longer stroke... until you are a step back and countering/looping
This is easy to understand sound advise that anyone can grasp and execute with time.
That was one thing i also reacted at about his technique. Against backspin in my opinion you want a more explosive stroke with Lot of acceleration compared to against topspin. It is difficult to be explosive and accelerate well if you have too big of a stroke i think.
- soft hand right off bounce.
- increasingly firmer hand
- move bat through black a little
- let ball bounce up a little and go through more
- step back inches and use a little longer stroke... until you are a step back and countering/looping
- stay right off bounce loose wirst and go through ball for spin
- use change of grip pressure at impact with acceleration for speed and spin (more speed with allowing ball to rise a little)
this is very interesting... do you think this would work in normal mult-ball block training, i.e. as you progress through the drill you alter your stroke through all the above steps ?
My son does a blocking drill but wants to be a bit more aggressive when he has enough reaction time to be so
