I'm a beginner myself, and I just listened to what the knowledgeable people here said. It's worked out well. So: @UpSideDownCarl @Der_Echte Get in here and give the man some suggestions, lest he buys the fastest rocket launchers out there and puts anti on his BH to boot. :p

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you from opening your mind to new possibilities. You can do whatever you feel like. Perhaps switching to RPB would benefit you a lot in the long term. And I think you could do it too. Just don't lose sight of what you do have. @Twiddling I'm...

Carl, while Siva is even more of a crazy mother****er than I am, I don't think you should publicly shame him. Just let him be and maybe his channel will completely die. You know we have better things to be doing than to laugh at other people.

OSPH, if you were to ask me, I would say that you don't need to even try RPB. Your punch is really strong. If you like it, there's no need to change in my opinion.

What's your view on the Valsalva maneuver when lifting weights ie: bench press? Does it ever have a good sport/exercise use? I've seen it being thrown around that you shouldn't hold your breath when lifting heavy weight, perhaps for good reason.

Ah, that immediately makes sense, when you apply the martial arts context to it. I got up and did a few just now and I think I get what Der was talking about. It was so simple, but I didn't fully get it until the martial arts context was brought in. Thanks.

OSPH, 52 sec onward is excellent. The early punch was great.

It should be a law of the internet that if the OP post is dumb, or the topic has been discussed, it will immediately derail. :p

Who is insulting who? The whole page's been civil. Also, good job on getting his real name and coach status up!

I don't really understand how less air intake would improve lung capacity. Operational efficiency, perhaps. Being able to take in more breath per inhale or whatever. Does anyone here know exactly how this works?

So the slide step is something like this at 1:02, towards the forehand?

So I guess what I'm doing is okay. What exactly do you mean with "slide step"?

I've been doing some footwork shadows lately. Mainly working on resetting with my bat and feet, and moving laterally before I do a stroke. Is there some all important footwork coordination drill that I should be doing?

With coverage, I meant at how high of an angle you can serve. So from all the way to one side, you could cover quite wide cross court, and directly down the line. From more towards the middle, the angles even up, but you get more down the line.

So more or less from the sideline is a good position, because of the angles? Ideally directly down the line, and wide backhand coverage. What about serving more from the middle of the table to get wide forehand coverage?

Ah, now I see it. I know I'd seen him and that form somewhere, but the haircut and age only brought Seemiller to mind. Next I'll confuse Larry Hodges for someone else!

I've been experimenting with this and I keep moving more and more to the left. It started when I saw Liu Guoliang serving very much so from outside the sidelines. Is there some downside to this, or a reason you would want to serve from more of the middle of the table?

NL, is that Dan Seemiller? I'm not too sure myself but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw your partner.

That does make sense, Carl. I had considered the whole advantage, or lack of, that you could get from serving wider. It kinda caps out around the sidelines anyway. So it'd make no sense to have as a strict rule. There is also no side line boundary stated anywhere. Good to know, it's one less...
