The term "weight transfer" is general, but it's incorrect. The movement is more of kinetic chain. Although professionals from every continent use the body, Chinese emphasize it a lot more, pushing with their legs and emphasizing waist, more lower body, whereas European style is more direct...

Adding onto this, personally, not sure about others, but I do not believe in any of this "high throw", "low throw" stuff. I am not necessarily calling this "bullshit", there are countless different rubbers and firms for a reason, they behave differently, however, it's never a difference between...

It does make sense, however it more sounds like you are seeking momentary fix instead of going for a long lasting, perhaps a life long feel for the technique...

I mean, you just named the issue. It's bit difficult to grasp the logic here. If you want to face the weakness and improve, which feels like it, then there is no way around - equipment change won't fix it and it surely won't fix itself magically overnight. Not sure if that's what you want to...

Isn't it easier/more beneficial to just focus on improving the technique instead of changing equipment? It's not like it will magically solve your issue... If you are having difficulties, invest that money in a coaching session, or even a few 😅

It's probably easier to just say that 40+ balls have larger circumference. When the path is longer, then it takes longer to make a single revolution (a 360)

Yep! I support this, just tell them straight on, maybe the player is not aware. So, instead of compromising your own game and letting the opponent build bad habits, it's indeed better to just call it out

Nevermind, it opened now... No idea what happened. Don't mind!

Thank you for the comment! Haha! Yeah, I already had many, I am prepared for anything at this point, especially when I got chosen to represent my university. Nevertheless, my passion is sky high, I am looking forward to every training session. Also, for some reason, the video is unavailable...

Haha, thank you 😂

Thank you for the comment. Yeah, I agree with some of points. My example wasn't the best, as I am quite a beginner myself, I simply did it in the most evident way, purposely exaggerated the motion, so it would be easier to see the kinetic chain, whip and generated power. My sudden stop imitates...

Indeed, it's very complicated 😂, but it will definitely come with practice. A long way ahead...

Well, it's indeed difficult to explain, you need to feel it. I am not an expert myself, however, if you want snappy Chinese "weight transfer", my best possible explanation would be something like this: One must first understand that the idea is to make the weight transfer more than just simple...

I sure will! Thank you for the comment

I see, well it's important to grind the crap out of the movement for it to stick... And I am sure you didn't forget, the most important part is understanding how the chain of energy should go, where it exactly starts and who creates it. Thank you for the comment! 👍

Well, previously I was mostly just "shifting weight from one leg to another", basically simply rotating the body like most players do, which is quite wrong/incorrect, it's bit more complicated than that. I finally felt it just yesterday, so I wasn't able to test it yet + I am sure I won't be...

Indeed, I am exaggerating it bit more purposely so it would be more evident!

Hello, everybody! I am so pumped from yesterday, so I cannot hold it anymore and would like to share with everyone. I have been playing table tennis for almost 2 years in total, 1 year of Chinese penhold... I have been incredibly inspired by Chinese players. Watching countless Chinese videos...

Simply keep it, store it somewhere safe. Maybe you'll decide to come back and play with it again, perhaps you'll gift it to some friend who wishes to play, maybe even kids, if you'll have any...

Haha 😅, not at all. I actually had another thread open because I realized that I have made this under wrong category, tried deleting this but wasn't able to, do not know how... Now that it has been listed on correct thread, it got many responses and everyone helped me choose equipment, ending up...
