To me there’s not much difference between Harimoto’s BH and Ma Long’s BH, especially the basic BH against backspin ball. Of course there are differences because they have different bodies, strength,...

Hello from Vietnam,
Great videos!! I saw your videos earlier and I was interested but there was no subtitle at the time. It’s great to have English subtitles now. Thanks a ton. Please keep on doing...

Definitely not a flat, not exactly a drive. Drive is often referred as a stroke that is used against topspin or float ball and the racket will swing forward with a somewhat closed angle. This BH...

Yes i rate Wang Hao very high, one of my fav players, but since it’s only in theory, i want to keep it as realistic as possible. Well he could have trouble with FZD and ML (who has improved a lot...

It’s not a theory. Wang Hao was exactly what you describe. I believe if prime Wang Hao was playing now, he’d still be at least in the top 10 (if not 5).

IMO the world team that has a chance to beat CNT (first team) would be Ovtcharov, Lin Yun Ju and Liam Pitchford.

The chance to become a pro that is paid to play in leagues is very slim given your age, finance status and current level. As someone said above, if you are a millionaire who can spend loads of money...

If ITTF’s intention was slowing the game down, the result is not exactly what they might expect:
- the game isn’t slower, anyone thinks it’s slower than 1980s or 1990s table tennis? I just don’t see...

This serve screams “around the net” for me too. I actually think it’s the best way to return this serve. Weird serve needs weird return :DThe other potential option is using your backhand to push...

Cool. Do you know what JSH are doing these days? Are he still training and competing or he has become a coach now?

Lin Yun Ju is a great young player that pulled a few upsets against stronger and more experienced players like Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, etc. but it doesn’t mean he’s on the same level as them or...

Too soon. This is the first big tournament that Truls goes far, with more or less luck on his side (regarding draw and the match against LJH). Once he is seen as a real threat, other players will...

No one talks about Liam Pitchford vs Liang Jingkun? Best match of the tournament so far. Liam was on fire. Is Liam the most consistent threat for the Chinese players now? He created problems for them...

Yeah probably. I have the same feeling that Truls already gave up and he was surprised when Lim couldn’t finish the game. Incredible comeback but it feels strange at the same time because it’s...

What a comeback! Truls had nothing to lose after 0-3 down and he started doing tricks and float balls to mess up LJH’s rhythm.

Pity for LJH, he is playing so well this tournament, just lacks...

It’s not easy to change habits that you have had for more than 10 years. Possible? Yes. But very hard.

Many people questioned Harimoto’s technique and style 3-4 years ago or even earlier. His...

Liam Pitchford

RPB is harder to master than shakehand BH. Not many can do that. Even the CNT players like Xu Xin, Zhao Zihao, Xue Fei, Xu Haidong… their BH is decent as best, they lack either power or consistency....

I guess his style is too physically demanding? When I watched his difficult matches in the past, Joo always looked very tired. His matches often lasted very long and both the attacker and himself...

Nope. It’d give the lefty + righty combo too much advantage.

If you have 2 righties double and you serve from the left side, you are no different to the 2 lefties double with the current rule,...

I suggest a safe approach to these serves. If I want to push or chop it, I will wait a little more, try to add my own backspin and aim deep to their body or backhand. If I loop it, I would also wait...

they both stalled i think. They were quite promising but haven’t improved further. They couldn’t even stand out in domestic competitions, so i think there is no reason for japan to pick them for...

Table tennis with hidden serves is ugly, especially when the serves become so deceiving. Prepare to watch matches when players win/lose 3-4 or even more direct points from serves each game, and 3-4...

Rubbers for me, as they are responsible for creating spin and my game is always based on spin. With a cheap blade i can play with less speed but still use spin to win points. I can’t play my game at...

Timo Boll prepared and used T05 of different weights/hardness (1g differences) based on his form and the opponent. I refuse to believe that he couldn’t realize whether a rubber affect his game or...
