First of all, a lot of the backlash Emrathich is getting is from calling these things Chinese secrets, If you look at any top pro, they are hitting the ball with their core, not just the Chinese. In fact, the Chinese will tell you that they learned such "secrets" from watching Ogimura, the...

That was a good video but there is really much more to it than that. But you have to have the experience to know that, and I think you could arrive at the same result if you watched Brett's video on advanced mechanics and grip tension.

Top players are good models for people who know what they are doing. You would learn much more if you saw what these top players were doing when they were at your stage of playing and knowing its relevance to your game. What they do now is the end of a process and it is more important for you...

It's much harder than you think to tell from a video whether a guy is good or not. If you have truly only been playing a year, be a little more humble until you actually have played enough to understand why those of us who do not know EmratThich are suspicious. I suspect you may actually know...

That is true but since a player left his 2500 level coach to work with me, I can tell you that what serious adults seek when it comes to table tennis improvement is effective and understandable coaching. That is not always about playing level, it is about relating to what the player is...

Musaab, what is your playing level? You have written a lot of stuff about me and my qualifications based in my videos. I am interested in your qualifications since you claim that I am obviously not qualified to judge someone even though I gave specific examples of what he said that was dubious...

I know you don't but a national level coach encourages me to coach and monitored my work both online and when he was in the USA. I think you know whose opinion I will take on this issue. Thanks. He doesn't agree with everything I say but he finds what I do good enough not to find it...

How do you know they are not one and the same when you have never seen the player play? There is one player who is a respected internet coach who I personally know whose highest official tournament level is USATT 1500. He has trained a 2100 player and still does. People love his internet...

A lot of people are speaking past each other here. I watch a lot of EmRatThich's stuff. Some of it is good stuff, most of it is good marketing. Plenty of it is stuff that when I see it, I can place it in context, but I still sometimes wonder about the level of the player and the experience of...

"Perhaps" is right - world class players do note the issue.

There is a video on backhand side spin flick by Henzell where he discusses the issue. But again, it is still about hours of practice.

The answer is to get someone to do that serve to you, and test hitting different points on the ball if your technique is sound. Over time, you figure something out. Takkyu had given you a good answer and it is probably as good as you can get without practice. But if you have a good...

And I think the fact that left handers often struggle with other left handers is what clinches it for me as a genuine issue and not just something that is irrelevant. Even Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong had mild left hander issues.

There is a significant trend in WTTC rankings. Who said otherwise? How many left handles are in the general population. In the top 20, we have Xu Xin, Timo Boll, Marcos Freitas, Koki Niwa , Jun Mizutani. That's an easy 25%. On the CNT, even below the top level, where there is 1 in 4, there...

They clearly gain an advantage and all the stats show that they are over represented at the top levels of racket sports and this is the reason most often given. That said, some people believe that it makes them lazy relative to their talent levels (it's a comment I have heard ascribed to Wang...

Like USATT 2200?

Should have had a camera!

An EJ update sponsored by the Goon squad and Nexy Karis M, the rubber with so much control that you think you can do anything. I have always liked the feeling of the Butterfly Amultart. Yes it is a rocket launcher but the feeling of Hinoki and ZLC has always been amazing. The blade has what I...

Here is a match vs a guy who beat a 2200 player in the 21 pt game 5 serves era - very powerful attacks. I posted it mostly because of the first game (the link takes you to the beginning of the first game). Watch how many points are won by my serve (in the second game, he introduced his vicious...

That's donating money to me and SchemeSC unless I don't get to a table that day. IT's one of those things that proves the power of practice. Most people get put off by the initial frustration, but if you persevere and forget about messing up, it happens at some magic moment without you knowing...
