On a more serious note .. following the shape of the ball increases control but decreases the spin on the forehand side unless you are hitting around the ball which again increases the corkscrew but we are not talking about that shot here, on the backhand side it will be okay because the natural...

which state ... the Democratic Peoples Republic of Gooniesia ?

Our intentions are honest ...and thats all that matters ... I did think through this a little bit more .. I would still argue that the arc from the beginning of the stroke to the point where the ball leaves the rubbers is what mattters ... but I have to take into consideration the fact that...

Well .. you certainly got me thinking :) ... you might be right .. most of high school physics is rigid body dynamics ... when its elastic the game changes quite a bit .. but hey I am not a Masters in Physics ... Statistics was my major and then after 15 years in IT .. I am just a pretentious...

NextLevel .. I think what you are alluding to is more about how your feeling of the stroke is attuned to the contact .... I am sure you have figured out what works for you .. I was just saying what I saw

I don't know if you noticed , he is really actually going forward with the stroke ... the pushing down part of it really only in the follow through.... just watch the following replay at half speed .... I am guessing the starting point of his backhand stroke is higher than his forehand stroke so...

Makes sense completely, thats why its easier to counter when the sponge is harder , you don't have to be so precise of the angle .. one thing that helps for me is to do to small warm up counters a little bit away from the table .. it helps getting the feeling quickly ... when I mean small is I...

@Der_Echte : I think the public wants an encore on your beast mod !

This is generally true and very good advise for anybody else but Der_Echte , Der is someone who I have played with and played against a few times. Don't get him wrong he is clever as a fox when it comes to table tennis strategy , infact sometimes I felt his strategy was a little too rigid ...

And I am planning to put tenergy hard on my backhand !!!

Of course you can handle it , that is if you want a straight handle .. but if I were you I would give both a shot by borrowing from someone ... if its going to be your main blade eventually .. .

There is something with the weight distribution ( I know people say there is no difference between this and TB ALC ) but I have felt different may be because my partner has a blade in a different weight class, not sure ... something about Viscaria makes it just the right blade for a very stable...

Why not Viscaria ?

I think there was in interview too where he said his favorite exercise was 2-2 from the backhand corner :) ... sounds counter-intuitive to me too

jhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

When are the men's singles semi finals scheduled ?

Well Surbek was before my time .. my dad reminisces about him ..... but truly of all the videos that I have ever seen of European players, can't say I watch a lot .. waldners' are the only ones which comes up in my memory where an european player hit a forehand the other players would watch it...

So you mean to say the only good forehand in Europe is dead :D ... atleast my choice is alive and kicking when his back permits !

Waldner

The video looks really useful , I just wish it had English subtitles in it .. .
