I tried it and it didn't feel that way. But maybe if was overthinking it.

More brush, trying to catch the ball before releasing it, and following the shape of the ball with your stroke, especially your whip structure and fingers. You mighr take the ball earlier or later and see what happens. The ball tends to slow down the further you are from thr table which means...

For 25 years out, it is a great start. I would second @Tyce 's advice about getting in person coaching though given your local club situation, it might be hard to get. There are a few things I would change, but I am also a specific player with a very specific approach to the game, my focus in...

Great video on a highly underdiscussed topic - how context changes the demands of the same stroke.

My point is that the main source of the power is a backswing that enables you to pull the racket into the ball. When the elbow is leading the stroke when you want more power so it is not so much to the side as in front of you. In fact as the racket comes forward the elbow tends to go backward...

Okay, I think the biceps should contract slightly but not massively.. I am basically saying that your backswing is more like Tom here and it should be more like Liam when you go for power. Even if your juat point your racket towards you at thr end of the backswing that should get you most of...

The body usage seems a bit wrong, you don't need to rotate the shoulder too much but you do need to lean forward so you have room to backswing into your body. Your backswing is starting too far out and with not enough of a C shape to swing forward with power. You should feel that your...

This will be interesting to see, i suspect what the coach is teaching is different from the dominant backhand paradigm but only video will tell.

It's not a one size fits all equation to be honest - a lot of it is really in *SHOT SELECTION*. Speed can be more important that spin but it is all about consistency ultimately in producing that speed or spin and whether you can hit all the shots you need to hit to win points vs various...

Generating heavy spin is relative to one's level, you get better at it with better timing, physics and technique and by having more power to throw into the ball's rotation. So the key is more practice at taking your loop quality to the limits by looping to pips, for example. In general the...

Yeah, but Indian billionaires aren't funding TT everywhere :P.

We patiently await the Youtube appearances of @Shine.

The ball and equipment were different back then as well. It was much harder to push heavy spin short but short pushes were also more devastating. I think it is easy to underestimate how much influence the ball and the equipment has had on the game.

Pitchford and Lebrun at the moment live...

I tend to play with 09c more like H3 than I do with Tenergy 05, the tack makes the rubber more forgiving to racket angles than 05. This is true for me vs Tenergy 05 Hard as well.

Can you give an example of a match he suggested was fixed?

So you believe the team when it says it has explicitly stopped this practice (barring the Olympics), and determine that anyone who still believes in the existence of such practices is ideologically driven to hate the team?

So you are saying that China never had a policy that players would not be allowed to play in subsequent events after playing badly in a prior event? And that Tony is making this up completely?

That will be tough, Japan seems allergic to those ladies no matter how well they play.

ESN to ESN... nothing to see here....
