Footwork adjustment is in part a response to reading the ball trajectory. Not easy to assimilate as an adult. Today, I was laughing when Jeoung Youngsik of Korea hit an allout backhand from the forehand side into the backhand side vs Ma Long and Ma Long popped up the return and Jeoung ran back...

Jeff, something about your forehand just looks off - it's almost as if you get little to no core rotation. But maybe I am missing something.

Not sure the latter explanation makes complete sense but coming from a player who is looking at you, it is likely to be reasonable. You have hit powerful forehands so it is more likely that there is something about your rotation given your bias to be fairly square to the table that doesn't...

Do you recommend growing you hair or going bald to look sexy?

He could still have conceded the point if he wanted to. The same thing happened in CC-JYS yesterday and the person who broke the ball conceded the point because they knew they missed the ball. Can't fully blame the kid for trying to win, but it happens.

Dima is the Human Torch right now... that 2-0, 3-2 point was ridiculous....

He was there for some matches - depends on which you watch - he did the CCY - JYS match.

Have you ever seen a chopper get a game of Xu Xin? Fix your prediction!

To be honest, any other result would be a miracle. So it is not an error.:p

Did you believe in miracles? :p

I do similar things, Shuki. My apartment often has balls all over the floor when I enter that zone, though I haven't entered it in a while. The drill in the video above has become my new obsession. I am trying to do the one you do and it is not easy for me to turn the paddle but I am getting...

I think currently, you have to be on the B-Team to play this event and Wang is now on the A-Team. We will see if this year's results lead to a revision of that policy.

Dude, read the date of the posts. Come on, man....

Great to hear from you, Ringer. Glad you caught the bug again and hope all is well. Is the lady still keeping you busy?

It's a common recommendation for people coming off hard Chinese sponge. Don't over think it. You can adjust to anything you use, you just have to think about your ball quality and continue to look for maximum controllable whip. The main thing you have to continue to test is your contact depth...

Without video feedback, you can be doing things very wrong. Just keep that in mind.

Looks like Ding Ning defaulted to Han Ying - playing choppers can be tough when you are injured.

Wasn't that result the other way round (Ito beat Han Ying)?

I think this match with FZD shows how misleading Koki's body language is.

Whip is a loss of control. Whether on serves or on loops or on pushes. The control comes from practice and trusting the brain to time and adapt. People who aren't able to tolerate the errors in the learning process either get good at TT as children or simply never do. I'm looking at Shuki...
