The follow through is part of the stroke, it may not look like it but it is. And while it is partly for the reasons you mentioned, for a backspin ball, which is precisely the kind of ball the OP said he puts into the net, the extra lift from that motion helps you spin the ball over the net onto...

To be honest, the simplest way to get reasonable advice is to post a video of your attempts. General advice almost never addresses specific issues.

Koki Niwa style...

Thanks for the response. Now I know you are trolling and will ignore you as such. Cheers!

Did the OP ask about blocking? If you answer that question, we can go from there.

Did the OP ask about blocking? It is getting tiring debating with a faceless and rude person when I am a public personality who is not hiding anything. I never said I know a great Chinese coach, though I suspect there are some people who believe that only Chinese coaches understand...

Contact point, swing trajectory and quality of the backswing to create racket head speed. There is a good backhand flick video with Fan Zhendong that shows how you need to use the arm. You need to throw the body upward and backwards. If I find the video I will post it.

Almost everyone ideally hits after the peak of the bounce but the stuff almost everyone says will make you think otherwise.

My point is that your attitude makes it sound like I think I know everything and therefore you need to pretend to do so to compete and now I have pointed out explicitly how such an attitude is making you say things that you really don't need to. In any case, all is well. My playing level is...

The point is not that we know how the youngest tour event winner, WJTTC champ and WTTC quarter finalist will turn out. The point is that his achievements and results speak for themselves. And that he has qualified for his status and that he wins matches. Technique is not going to keep you off...

I actually took the USATT club umpire exam. I passed but some of the questions I got wrong were related to Paralympic play. It is hard to be intuitive about what one doesn't regularly experience.

My biggest mentor as a coach (and a good friend) told me that good coaches disagree all the time. Everyone knows the fundamentals but there are opinions as well. Pretending to know everything just ends up making you look like an idiot over time. My solution is simple - everyone knows my...

Makes sense. I have a lot to learn about the rules for disabled play.

Yeah I have heard such things before and the CNT was not going to accept Deng Yaping either but look at how that turned out. The bottom line is that if a player is beating everyone, he or she is beating everyone. There may be things you will not accept but you can't argue with results. When...

I don't believe the rules allow you to serve short to a disabled player.

He had his forehand issues before he got on the JNT and I have explained that it is not clearly a decision because while the stroke uses too much arm, it protects your back. You get on national teams because of your results not because of your technique. The coaches will fix technique if you...

He already said that Harimoto was a JNT product and then said that Harimoto doesn't have a JNT forehand. That doesn't mean he doesn't know what he is saying but he can drop the pretentiousness whenever he wants to.

I agree with all of this, but you miss the point that the back has to be used to hit the ball if you want to loop and fix your elbow. He has too much arm because he is trying to avoid using his back.

It is an attempt to protect the lower back and use the legs more. I don't think it is viable but we will see.
