Vertical axis means the ball isn't moving, horizontal axis means the ball enters a the 4th dimension before reappearing on the table with a new spin. Glad we cleared that, let's move on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

some people think of a vertical string going through the ball and the ball spinning on the string while you and I think of it as spinning along a line

I think this is a style disagreement we're having more than anything. When I used to have more sidespin on the ball I was unable to make it more pure. What I found was the reason I had this sidespin was because it was simply easier for me to get the ball on the table against backspin. It was...

regardless of hook vs corkscrew, you think a player going from more of a flat hit should initially be trying to do some sort of sidespin on the ball when they start going for more of a grazing stroke?

I'm talking about development. He wants as pure of topspin as possible for development. 100% topspin if possible. Looking for the notes packet he gave me at his clinic, I'll post a picture as soon as I can find it. edit: me: still have your seemiller notes packet? from our clinic? other...

If you can't make a brushing loop stroke with very little sidespin, there's an issue. At the seemiller training clinic I went to he was all about, SPIN SPIN SPIN. But he also wanted it to be as pure of a topspin as possible. Once you're able to consistently do JUST TOP spin without the side...

SO JEALOUS. I'm still stuck with the orange raquet case. some player's aren't as special as the backhand man.

thank you, gullible shuki was amazed at this. didn't read any of the pip's nonesense just that coaches were dropping him.

coaches words (paraphrasing) also she only does this with backspin/nospin right now the major problems with my forehand flicks are as follows: 1. Not watching the ball during drills, needing to wait until I understand the trajectory before moving to it. I'll move to it before I know exactly...

gotcha, in your opinion. thanks

This is certainly a joke right? I can't imagine ttedge coaches simply dropping him because his stroke doesn't look pretty. They should be using him as an example of what they can do to a player with physical limitations.

Sorry, let me rephrase my post since I wasn't clear when I stated that I need to work on my forehand flick. The question was, is it VIABLE to go all the way over to the fh side and just do a backhand flick. Lets not get into the rights and wrongs of the fh flick right now since I'll leave that...

not the issue for me necessarily, my forehand flick works better if they have back on it. Still not a strong stroke for me yet as I'm working hard to fix it's issues, but I have too much of an upward motion in general making the backspin version much easier. I'm assuming the top is so hard...

I specifically remember trying a vertical raquet just going forward, I'm ruling that approach to the fh flick out.

vertical bat wouldn't work at all, way more than you're thinking is on it. As I said earlier I had him practice the serve after the games and let me work on recieving it. I had to close my raquet dramatically and go forward with NO upward motion. To each his own. Banana flick is easy for me...

looking back now I feel like a complete idiot for not being able to adapt in what seems like any way. unfortunately friday's are my day of no play. I really wanted to work on this type of return of service soon. With a tournament coming up in 2 weeks this situation made me pretty nervous.

tried quite a few ways of returning it, after the game though i asked him to do the serve a few times until I got it. I really had to close over the top of the ball and go forward.

I was contemplating of "fan zhendonging" the ball to scare him off that serve, but I also knew that if I always returned that ball going all the way over there for a backhand flick, he would learn to abuse what I was looking for.

Question time from todays set of games. I played a player 1865 USATT who was new to the club. I was a shoe in to win this game based on how all of our rallies, service return and variation was going. Then all of a sudden he finds a weak point of mine. He started doing a short tomahawk serve to...

ma long is a good player, not sure about other players
