i think forearm is important for spin. Good to practice halflong pushes. Here you need to use the forearm well due to limited space. Also practicing hitting under the table like in loop loop or loop block far from the table letting the ball drop under the table. Need to create spin, otherwise...

Feel like as long as players get spin in the ball the technique is less important. Feel like players with more stiff arm often get a stable stroke since they need to move the body in the stroke. Think this work good with some kids, force them to have arm still then they need to learn to use the...

Would be interesting to know his reasoning behind changing.

I find it hard changing technique as an adult. I hade some adult groups before. I think they need to do a lot of shadow play and multiball or be very interested and motivated as you. Also need to know if it is worth to do the change or maybe it is good enough. Maybe more important to make it...

I find with an open angle it just makes it easier, then you can lift more or just brush it in. More closed you can go forward and hit more over the ball but probably need to go more for it. Edit: probably easier at our level to have a bit more open angle and brush more up. I think if higher...

I think if you have open racket angle the ball will go over even if you do not accelerate against backspin so can basically lift the ball. If you have good energy in the stroke you are forced to hit upward with an open racket angle so the ball will go out, so get punished by having good energy...

Try looping against half long push, loop against block or loop loop letting the ball drop under the table. On these shots you need to create more spin. Doing really hard footwork with forehand also forces you to create more spin if your footwork is awesome. Do not really matter how you...

Cool to see! I think it is importantly with grip, need to hold the bat so you can get correct angle. And despite of the which kind of grip you neet hold the racket so you can rip the arm fast. Also noticed when I seen goood players live compared to on YouTube, I think they do pretty small...

This have to do more with the legs. Practice step-in with right or left leg or even jump on left leg. Do not need to think about the arm so much.

Do anyone know if he has ever been a coach? I think it is almost to belittle more senior swedish coaches. Hopefully it will work out well

I think he clearly have racket higher than most other players. Maybe due to length but i think primarly so he can play faster. If you drop racket between strokes it takes much more time. Same with smaller backswing. I do feel that he lose some power and not as good at generating own power...

Okey sounds good, especially trying to practice according to your playing style. Interesting how much equipment can change the game. Maybe a slower 5 ply blade could help the ball dip more. I never said you should go all out and miss. Just that if you can get more hip in the ball i think you...

Nice to see that you are working hard. I just watched the first video - maybe it is the angle of the camera but the strokes seems pretty small, like you are holding in the stroke? - I also think you could push more from the ground on the first stroke and when you try to loop hard try use hip...

It is fun that it goes well for Ranefur. Feels like a late bloomer. I do not think he played youth and junior national team, at least not as much as the other Swedish players. Also been very nice and humble when I have spoken to him. I find it interesting how the pros have such a hard time with...

I don’t know wood types good enough to answer this. I feel in general it is easier to get good technique with harder faster blades so hard wood, carbon and thicker blades would work. Can play with softer blade aswell but think rubber need to be a bit harder then.
