This is me doing the same thing for example

Obviously he is flat footed before the stroke not during the execution - those a different part of the stroke. When he explodes for the forehand he is obviously shifted weight and doing it on his toes. It is not ideal to execute flat footed strokes - but it is possible you can do it if it helps...

I think what coaches means by “weight on the toes” is that player shouldn’t fall back during the strokes rather than just jumping around on the toes always or starting the stroke on the toes. When you rotating your hips/legs from right to the left and shifting your weight for example during...

I just bought a tennis table to my home and put a net for the balls at him then started to serve: pendulum and backhand ones. After a month or so when the serves became really spiny I started to put variations like side spin/top/under. After half a year I have started to developing reverse...

I mostly having troubles against such block when there is no spin on the ball/dead ball than regular chops so yeah there were a lot of long pip blocking with sometimes chopping And he is not a pip player - we just starting to working on long pips at one day of the weekly training Today was...

Butterfly R40+ for training and DHS DJ40+ for matches 🤓

Just don’t use your backhand as an ultimate weapon instead try to use it as a setup tool for a forehand or move you opponent around with it. Spiny controlled but not so fast of a backhand is not bad at all. Slowly but surely you will grow from that to more powerful backhand just take some time

Jokes aside most likely what coaches is meaning by more controlled game style are not to try blindly copy professional players by trying to attack every ball (and miss the table by a high margin) - rather to seek more balance in game - few pushes, some blocks and topspin’s when you are in...

Nice one! Handle of Viscaria SALC both FL or ST are better than FZD SALC for my taste. And the feeling of them both are different - I’ll give my preference to Viscaria SALC 💪🏼 Let’s us know how it fits you. I think with your power it can be very suitable for your style. For me one of the...

Interesting condition - I never hand such a problem neither in soccer or in tt - but maybe your giga quads are naturally tend to overcompensate by stealing all the tension from other muscle groups. It happens time to time to an athletes with big/very strong arms or shins/calves for example...

Do you guys really on a level where short game matter that much? Even advanced amateurs mostly push long but with quality and contesting your ability to react and loop in deferent parts of the table. Ability to handle next loop and build your game after that is more important on a amateur level...

The rubber is only a tool and of course you can to brush loop it with09c but its all in your hands and technique. A lot also matter in terms of personal preference in hardness and feeling of the rubber itself

Some of against long pips training matches

Maybe you need slown down a bit, too much high intensity can be. If you will keep such intensity an injury can occurred. Try to use some sort of sport nutrition for better recovery ( if you still don’t ) - creatine + protein should help a bit in this. Also massage and stretching will speed up...

For me control style is mostly when much higher level opponent is playing against you. His giving you opportunity to start an attack and still moving you around the table in awkward positions as he wants to. Then switching to most uncomfortable and unpredictable serve receive/mixing it with a...

I spend in Japan few months, before coronavirus pandemic. Was in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. It just a tourist opinion but to me people and country was good. I understand that living and working in Japan can be totally different experience. When I was in Tokyo I even get an offers for a job as model...

Can you explain please what you mean by “looping from below the table”? If you mean looping against underspin or just the ball that falling off - than I can do it easily. And anyway I can do pretty all the strokes with any decent rubber I don’t care the “throw angle” of it. I will do two-three...

For me is just simple as that. If I see that the ball is coming off the table I just close it more while lopping/brushing, if it goes to the net - obviously I will open racket angle more. But I don’t disagree that for some other people it can be very different/difficult in feeling/adjusting...

Player can just open his racket angle more with "low throw rubber" and close it up more with "higher throw" one - you will get pretty the same stroke as a result

Yeah if Ma Lin could do it, than everyone else can? I think its the total opposite of that in reality ;)
