pongguy69 replied to the thread Form is simply a means of consistency (a physics based approach).100% agree with this. great way to learn the game (2-3 simple cues), but also a way to refine your game through how I can expand my... -

I think understanding the 'why' behind shot behaviour is good, but I think that turning it into no more than 2 or 3 simples cue is ideal... -

Most commonly something to do with impossibly long contact time. "Contact the ball with the leading edge of the rubber so it can roll...

What you do is perfectly valid and necessary. You're essentially asking "why it works"... The problem, imo, is not with the question...

pongguy69 replied to the thread Form is simply a means of consistency (a physics based approach).yeah totally agree on the automatic applications, this is too hard, would not be for real time analysis. one note, racket angle...

Racket angle at hit is a wrong approach because: 1.it will be very hard to apply in matchplay, your brain needs to do these calculations...

I also enjoy sports physics, but I don't think it helps much with shot-making. To quote Robert Adair from The Physics of Baseball...

pongguy69 replied to the thread Alternative training techniques..yeah absolutely, i wouldn't have learned about it if i only sticked to ping pong (only understood after i started playing volleyball on...

Also props for recognising and mentioning the kinetic chain. I also studied kinesiology undergraduate. Now just pych. The chain of...

Interesting angle. I'm not gonna pretend I understand or can critique the calculations. I would say it is an intelligent deconstruction...

pongguy69 replied to the thread Form is simply a means of consistency (a physics based approach).great point! i get your drift ;);) I would say the end state of "better driver" is a bit too general. Let's instead pose a specific...

Excellent post. This is the aim with the rock throwing too. Engage the whole body in a similar type of movement to TT. I also believe...

I think you're hitting at the crux of the game mechanics but the calculations (even if mental, and not actually mathematical) are way...
