Badminton has service judges who monitor the height of services like a hawk using specialised equipment. TT is just.... sad

+1. Another good cue is to stick your butt out. Pretty much slight knee bend + decent forward lean is sufficient.

Dont just think about looping. With short Serve receive with D05 on FH, you have to switch mindsets to flick or sideswipe a lot since the push sucks due to its bounciness. Whereas 09c is really good with short pushes (as well as the other receives). The other thing for loops, with D05 you...

It sounds like you probably need to drill fast close to table rallies with lots of spin and placement variation and focus on holding the table position no matter what is coming at you. The ability to get a lot of spin back (mainly with fingers and forearm action) with a very short stroke...

See guys - pips or some other weird material is probably the only shot of ever beating a pro lol.

The new one is a lot more body powered which makes it more consistent and powerful. But i feel like the right foot is slightly a bit too forward - it is a quite BH dominant stance which would make it fairly difficult to switch to FH quickly or even getting out of jams on elbow balls.

Haha this was so funny as I remember losing to my practice partner who plays almost the same style lol, and in almost the same ways....

Chen Qi for his outrageous no fear shotmaking

First thing, the weight transfer during service + the recovery looks excellent! With the BH loop, I think you are also loading on your left hip very well, but you seem to be a little stuck there, and the power is not really transferred to the ball efficiently. What will really make a big...

I had a brief look, OP is quite solid but the serves just ain't nasty enough. I reckon if he trained some nasty af, highly deceptive and well placed serves he will crack 2000 easy. Playing without good serves in TT is like bringing a knife into a gunfight. Tbh, it is hard to win in TT just by...

@coolchap i have a feeling that this will benefit you a lot. What I noticed is that you are forced to brush/hit very hard in order to get the ball above the net which makes your margin of error quite low and it is hard to use such a stroke in game. Much better to start slow so that when you face...

It's basically the Truls Moregardh fake (ie no spin) BH opening "loop", except applied everywhere lol. The guy could make it even better if he used more body and less arm. I also use this extensively against LP/anti players, they cant do anything against it because it is floaty with no spin...

Depends where it is served...

If the guy can return whatever, it means the quality of the serve is not enough. Also after long fast topspin serves you need to take a step back from the table and be prepared to engage in 2 wing topspin battle. It cannot be just using FH whole table. Also you need to think short stroke...

But if they can always get to loop first with good percentages, it is a bad sign for your game. Even if you can block 1 or 2, can you block 4 or 5 consecutive loops to various nasty placements?

I have a bit of a different approach in that I use my fingers mainly to control the topspin and then go around the sides of the ball for better control the trajectory. So basically i am using the thumb + index finger lever arm combination to manipulate the incoming spin. For me straight blocks...

I generally also have the elbow closer to the body too, it makes it easier to explode with power from the body. Also makes it a bit easier to connect with the FH. But I will have my elbow further away from body if the ball is more towards my right side if I need the reach, but that is not an...

Another thing is that if you don't have RPB, it is almost impossible to deal with dead or underspin fast serves to your BH without giving up the attack. This is why I almost exclusively target the deep BH with various spin fast long serves. If they like to pivot i will give them fast loaded...

I'm not sure if you're changing too much stuff - your BH looks very good already from last time we seen it. The only thing I would add is the finger usage and better/faster positioning and linkage to FH, and focus a bit more on 3rd ball attack drills and service return.
