  1. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    Some players use your spin against you. This is one of the underestimated aspects of table tennis at the lower levels. Sometimes, you have to scrub it so that you get less of your own spin coming back at you. And when you can make it look like you haven't scrubbed anything, some players...
  2. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    Carl is asking for the emulation because I am a coach. So he knows I will decode all your secrets so that hardworking readers/viewers can figure them out ;).
  3. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    For context. When I next go to DC or something, will make sure I don't forget my camera. The thing is that serving like this also massively improves your push and your flick.
  4. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    A high level coach told me that when you want to serve, most of your focus should be on where the first bounce is on the other side. What it makes you realize is that you can serve topspin short if you get the first bounce on your side closer to your end line. So for me, most serves, both...
  5. Zhang Jike or Xu Xin will Play Singles - Rio Olympics 2016!

    Fukuhara was higher ranked through the qualification cycle held by the Japanese team and at the end of it as well. The top 2 played singles, the top 3 played teams. People make similar arguments about Yoshimura vs Koki Niwa but the rules are simply being followed as laid down by the JNT - top...

  7. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    The thing is that when Der Echte and I play each other, you just see both players missing and popping of serves pr putting balls into the net left and right and the winner is whoever gets back a few of those third balls vs popups better on that day and who plays third ball better.
  8. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    Actually, I think my new serves can compete favorably with Der Echte. Part of the reason I did this video was because Brett told me I had lost the plot on my serves. I thought he meant I was doing too many backhand serves, but what he really meant was that I was doing all these large backswing...
  9. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    My serves were not good enough for the app - shows you what level of serves are coming and will come.
  10. My experience with serving like Yoshimura Maharu (Disclaimer: My contact - different)

    Here was my attempt a while back to copy Yoshimura. What a hypocrite I am.:p
  11. My experience with serving like Yoshimura Maharu (Disclaimer: My contact - different)

    Yoshimura hides the ones that people struggle with with his head.
  12. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    This month, I have decided to do no backhand serves and focus on my forehand serves. So it is partly a self-imposed mental block.

    Added video. Do comment.
  14. My Version of Brett Clarke Serves

    No editing, rapid fire serving with no recovery (bad habits).
  15. Equipment or technique: not getting enough spin

    Arcman was not even in my thought process, sorry. At this point, anyone who takes him seriously is either unfortunate, doesn't read the web board closely or is getting a heavy dose of what they deserve.
  16. Equipment or technique: not getting enough spin

    Other than using the arm correctly, what I will say is that many beginners and even intermediate players underestimate what is possible with practice. They tend to just get spin with a motion and thinking that doing the same thing will get better and get them more spin. It doesn't quite work...
  17. Equipment or technique: not getting enough spin

    You see, Tyler, now you have posted videos, I can see that you are not using the arm properly and I can post you videos that show you how to use the arm properly. Doesn't mean it will be easy to do it, and doesn';t mean it won't be easier to show you in person but I can be sure that what I am...
