It isn't normal
normal would be using 2 side steps to get to a ball that you can't get with 1 side step.
But that is 2 movements.

A cross over step is a single movement, and well trained players...

some guessing1. watch the ball go pass
2. use two side stepping movement to get to a position, but will be too slow and late, but maybe can try and lob the ball back/scoop the ball in and start...

Thought I can add a bit on Lin

Lin plays a lot more aggressive than Samsonov
Lin's standout is his full table bh flick service return. No one currently does it better than him.
Also, past 2...

attack with BH on the far forehand side?
okay, i'm starting to think you are joking with me.
sure, let me check the grown ups play, especially that BH on the far FH side.

that is very sad then
table tennis has evolved a lot, so have a lot of skills sets, especially footwork.

So if you can't cross over to attack a wide forehand,
what do you teach the players there...

drop shot - the same for able bodied player.
he can't lob if it will be 5 bounces before the end of the table

I'm talking feet, you talking hand since my first post.
Footwork has no conflicting names in many countries I've been to.
pivot is the same, cross over is the same.

Someone else already...

I kindof bought the habit of multi ball training to South Africa.
together with that, I also imported my own branded balls - half the price of any quality brands, and of the same quality too.
But...

cross over is feet - correct, same as pivot is a footwork.
we say pivot fh, cross over wide fh etc.

maybe for beginners, I may need to be more clear on the terminologies.
but for any one with...

I'm not sure if I will say a former world champion will feed with little spin.
But I was also being nice to complement on the stroke.

For my expression:
If doing the same drill, but top spin...

you must have missed my first message - the one that you replied to
let me requote for you "as for us, fakenberg is to train the cross over wide forehand shot".

underspin feed, you won't cross over on wide FH.
top spin feed, you can cross over on wide FH

cross over falkenberg is more Asian
Euro/Western don't really use cross over step

compared to our top spin feed, the the speed is very different

Not bad, good quality top spin from under spin balls.

I don't normally see people train falkenberg with full underspin though. Normally 1st feed (or none) will be underspin.
as for us, fakenberg...

After coming into contact with French development and juniors around 2014~2016, I am really excited and happy for the future of the French mens table tennis team.

That time, I always believe...

Just saw US nationals.
Liang vs Gal, 6th game, 9-10

Liang was busy hitting a shot that goes off, so 9-11
but a ball comes in, and Liang raise his hand (could argue the point was in progress,...

For Jpen, the 2 example shared above, i've seen before.
getting cork is a lot easier - most jpen shops will stock cork.

For Cpen, i've seen some also adding cork, so its a Jpen handle with Cpen...

ladder drills
elastic band footwork drills
skipping - double under skip.
multiball footwork training drills - can mirror it if you don't have too many. Ie the cross over shot and recover.

and so am I

Its a complete package.
Its all mental game at that level

You raise a valid point.
Most of the times the umpires are volunteers.
They will be lucky enough to have flights covered from they TT federation.
And tournament expense (Accommodation/meals)...

Stiga was only known to make wood blades.
They making slow but good progress in composite blades.

Viscaria is Butterfly King and will still be the preferred blade by far with many up and coming...

Firstly, the contact is not head or near head.
The ball is closer towards the table, then it is towards the head.

And i'm not sure if a video compilation of all serves that Harimoto winning the...

Looks great and very strong.

i've always wondered, how long can those cheap rubbers last.
obviously, yours is outdoor, so the durability might be shorter.

How much did it cost you?
I'm eager...

Umpiring in 2022 is just like 1922.
only difference with technology is the digital scorecards and time out clock.

Umpires don't have any thing else other than the 2 eye balls (or 4, if you...
