That was one thing i also reacted at about his technique. Against backspin in my opinion you want an more explosive stroke with Lot of acceleration compared to against topspin. It is difficult to be explosive and accelerate well if you have to big of a stroke i think.

This sound strange i think. Feel that you almost makes it more difficult for you to become better. How can you possible become better when you change your setup maybe pretty much? how will you learn to play with placement with the heavier setup if you never practice it? But maybe your are onto...

You need to move out a little more so you have space. Take the ball at the highest point. Make the elbow steady and work with forearm and wrist. Have the racket high, at the same high as the ball so you can loop throught the ball. If you have the racket under the ball you need to loop upwards to...

Okay that is interesting! I also find it interesting that a player at Timo bolls level need to change to a little more soft rubbers when he Do not have great hit for the day.

I also often use him as an example. I think his form is okay But he is somewhat stiff i think.

I can imagine that they want it to sound good so Maybe they make it sound better than it really is. I have a hard time Seeing that he could have been so good with that technique. But the technique Do not need ro be perfect, as long as it works for you so Maybe he was so good.

Nice catch! My school german is bad nowadays. What are he saying?

Always nice with videos explaining stuff! I think What he says often sounds good, But i Do not think his technique Always looks so good. But everyone so not need to play the same. I know that you so not need to be a good player to be a good coach, But it would be interesting to know how good...

Okay, interesting point! But i thought that all rubbers of one kind like tenergy all weigth the same? Or Do they not? Can not imagine that he use thinner sponge on some rubbers and that is way they are lighter. And Do a heavier rubber need to be harder?

Yeah, But would he not want to test them on the blade he is currently using? But Maybe Do not have time to take the rubbers off the blade he is currenrly using if he play all the time. But i still Do not think it explains why he need six rackets? Can he really feel so big different between...

Maybe he test them like you say. But why would he change blade? Maybe his current one is broken?

I think harder rubber would suit your close to the table style since i think your block Will be faster since the ball Do not go in the sponge so much so the ball leaves the racket faster. But i do think much softer rubber Will help you looping against backspin. I think that good players could...

I am not so interested about what rubber he plays with but still wonder why he need 6 rackets.

i do not think he looks so serious here either. Pretty funny that it almost seems that he plays better and win more points when he is lobbing all the time in my opinion haha

Pretty fun, but it would be fun to watch Bobrow play serious and see how good he is. That guy is all about entertaining.

This is interesting. Why do he need so many rackets? i can understand that he need a backup racket. I can also understand that he need to change rubbers regurlary but thought players often wanted to keep the same blade and just put on new rubbers. But do Timo change the whole racket? Maybe JST...

You do the stroke in the air without the ball. So it will be easier to get the correct form with the ball later.

I agree with your fellow italian that you should look at videos so you have a somewhat mental picture how it should look like. Then try do some shadow training, maybe infront of a mirror so you see how it looks and then try to do some more balls.

I think you are a little negative about your possibilities to develop as an adult. With proper help from a coach i think it would be pretty easy to become better at footwork and hitting the ball at the highest point. I agree it would proably be easier if you start earlier and Maybe you Do not...

Maybe you can go try to go trough the basic technique like grip and how to do forehand and backhand. But do not talk to much, kid do not have good attention span. Maybe you can do warm up like when kids run around the tables and hit against you at one table, or fast feet exercises by the table...
