I don't think it's so much weight distribution as it is using the springiness of your foot to absorb the impact so you don't get a lot of force traveling up your leg into your knee and spine.

Hello guys. Here is 22 minutes of topspin vs block. The blocker is my newbie friend, he is very inconsistent. I was getting a bit irritated but I tried my best. How is this? I can see a lot of mistakes, but I will let you guys judge it. I do know that I need a haircut, again. :cool...

We got necro AND double posting in the same thread, boys!

The friend I am training, he has been playing for a month or so. I give him topspin in a very controlled environment and I show him how to do something to it and tell him to try it, and we drill until we get some results. Advanced things like chopping, counterlooping etc. Of course, it's not...

The backhands of Timo Boll and the CNT are phenomenal, far above the quality of most 2500 or so forehands, it seems, so I wouldn't be terribly concerned. Of course, improvement is always important. I strive for better mechanics and I'm at a much lower level of applying them, so in a way I...

NextLevel, I can see you becoming One-Loop Man with that attitude. Just finish the point on the first loop and you won't need to move terribly much. :rolleyes:

I've only ever extensively used 729 Super FX, the modern version. So I don't have that much to base my views on. I understand the old one is great stuff so maybe you'd want to find someone who has one of those laying around somewhere preserved, apparently they exist. ;) However for the modern...

You went for it and you landed it: that's skill, not luck!

It is a bit worrying. The idea of people not understanding the greatness of table tennis is strange. Then again, I needed other media to get into the sport, so it's not exactly easy.

I got a little bit of footage of loop vs block a few days ago. Little bit being two shots, because it was a test to see a quick thing. I didn't try to whip my arm or anything, just swing normally, so I can see how my "real" stroke is. Using shadow strokes to judge timing etc. is a bit...

Practiced a lot of loop vs block yesterday. The blocker is a newbie I'm training with, and his block is sometimes good and consistent, sometimes all over the place. Sometimes there's a bit of sidespin on the ball, sometimes it's half-long. So I really need to move around. He is improving...

I was talking specifically about playing into the backhand. I have this image that most people will want to flip/loop crosscourt into the forehand, but not necessarily move into the FH corner to play a fast/very spinny BH down the line, into the backhand. You used to do that, and it worked for...

Yeah, but how often is someone ready for a BH down the line from the FH corner?

Siva, get the stick out of your ass.

Using without crediting is low, but then claiming that simply crediting would be enough, when they didn't even bother to do that, is just trying to cheat them. Part of the issue is that producing content in visual mediums in particular is not viewed as being a 'real job'. Even simple symbolic...

I hate it when people tell artists that "exposure is enough". No, it's not. Bills need to be paid somehow, and it's not their job to make content for ungrateful people who don't understand the work that goes into professional artwork. Simply giving exposure to an artist serves to do nothing...

I believe NL is talking about hitting past the spin axis. Hitting where the ball is not "spinning as fast", instead of smashing directly into the spin. Is this right, NL?

I only really play penhold against worse players, and I've gotten half decent at it. It's helped me to understand things related to stroke trajectory and form. My short push is a lot better with traditional penhold, and it's helped me develop my short push on shakehand. I enjoy playing penhold...

What does America have to do with Australia?

I think the first thing to ask here would be what your issue is exactly. Does it go out, net etc. ?
