Please correct me. I may wrong here,
But, isnt fast top spin shall accelerate the ball after bounce?
Other than slow less spinny loop, or hard chopping,
I dont think away from the table double bounce is possible.

That's backspin on the ball, isn't it? I'd imagine if you just aim it right on the edge and put enough spin on it, it'll float and skip.
Don't ask me how exactly you're gonna accomplish it though. Having the touch of a pro player probably helps.
NextLevel, look at the ones that bounce. Look at the arc. It is simply the same spin. And the spin actually doesn't matter. Yes, it has side. But it also has some top. And if it was that low, even when it kicks, it would not change anything because it is so low. And some of them do roll.
The guy is good. Maybe he practiced from self hitting or not. I don't think it matters. But, in case you missed it, my actual point was, making a video and calling it "Crazy Siva Goes Around the Net, Between the Legs, Double Bounce vs Tiago Apolonia" from self hit would be idiotic.
Carl, it is not idiotic. In fact, I think you fail to appreciate Siva's Indian heritage and his usage of Jugaad. Since I come from Nigeria originally, I understand the use of contraptions to make do when you cannot have the ideal setup. This is a running theme through his videos and coaching and practice etc. He cannot find someone to feed him so he feeds himself and does his best to simulate what a pro who has a semi pro feeding him does. I find the effort laudable and do not see what is wrong with the comparison. We could simply insert an invisible "poor man's" before his video to get an idea of what is driving all this.
Now like this post or I will fight you for not liking my brilliant analysis of what drives the great innovator imitator.
Yep. I think that just about sums it up.
"Crazy Siva's Around the Net Between the Legs Double Bounce vs Tiago Apolonia (Poor Man's Iteration)"
I think you may have read my mind.

For practice, totally worth doing. For comparing to something where someone is responding to a ball coming at him, not so useful.
I did learn to go around the net from a feed. Because Edmund is who he is, I was trying when my loop totally sucked. The idea was always an attempt to have it low enough to roll. I think it can be learned with a self hit or a good feed. Doesn't matter to me which one you would prefer.
