Which Point Is More Impressive and Which Point indicates Higher Level TT Play?

[NextLevel]

The first point, you have to go to 4:43 in to see the point. The second video you have to go to 25:53. After seeing the points, I want to ask two questions. Assume you were a high level coach and asked to analyze these points:

1. Which point do you find more impressive?
2. Which point do you think is a good foundation for higher level TT play?

Hopefully, the discussion will be healthy.

@NextLevel : I think you ended up posting the same video twice.

I saw the first point , I think the way you handled the return of serve with a push is what set the whole point up . Also, you observations to remember what spin was going on which ended up in the push in the middle of the rally was very impressive as well. But I will try to make my points once you point the second video and I get a chance to see it.

This is fun !

They are different videos - I link to the times but unfortunately, this site automatically converts youtube videos to links.

The good thing is that your comment helped me notice something I didn't see before which is good.

I am curious to know what you did not know . But I would vote for the first point for the reasons I already said. Its extremely important to understand the spin and then open as soon as its in the strike zone....

I wouldn't call any of the points impressive, but both points were very well played by NextLevel. The first one indicates a higher level of play, as it combined consistency, power, knowledge of how pimples work, reading opponent's spin, changing from topspinning to flat hitting, varying placement.

Some nice matches played there. I like the placements on those shots. I also think that the first one is more impressive against the pimpled rubber.
I think i saw you somewhere before, on ttedge videos maybe? The ones about the reverse pendulum serve as i recall?
