Hopefully to inspire Knife and to show people that it is possible for 900 rated players to counterloop:

One qualified coach I know will simply tell you that if you want proper feedback, you have to post video. I tried to relate your post to the video but failed to find evidence of what you were describing. And of course, whether Steger's issues are related to yours is another thing altogether.

Would probably need to see the video but looping in general does not need a stable elbow. It does revolve around how you use the elbow but I have found that being too rigid with the elbow position can cause tightness that impacts the flexibility of the whole stroke on both FH and BH. A rigid...

Go to medium pips first. Try DHS C8 or Dawei 388i-c. IF he wants real SP immediately, 802, not the -40, as the -40 is a bit too much like inverted and may hurt him too much initially.

Transfer balance is a very ambiguous term. IF you bend your knees and rotate your core, that is sufficient. Up until I broke 2000, I had no forehand and my game was essentially the women's game. This match is before I ever got advice on how to do anything from Brett with my strokes - I used...

The video itself is over a year old. Knee or no knees I would probably change a few things today but other than bending lower, it is essentially correct, especially the swing around 3 mins to 3.5 mins in. Balance transfer IMO is overrated, core rotation is not. The problem with balance...

You can hit the ball out of your hand if that helps. Your timing and touch challenged by the carpet irregularity is not advanced enough for you to attempt what you are doing without supervision if you want good and consistent results. But you might be that supertalent that gets a lot out of...

So important it had to be said twice...

Don't be so sure man. The new NL is hitting video game levels of spin and speed on some shots. That and Der Echte's tactical brain might just be enough to silence Kowabunga.

Well, it's all immigration policy. They paid their dues. They can't play WTTTC or WTTC or WC. But they can play the Olympics.

Here is another one.

If ajtatosmano2 wasn't such a good guy, I would have revoked his TTDaily membership for writing that.

The swings below are all you need if you want to topspin.

IT's easier to just see a video and say whether your loop looks good or not. As Tinykin pointed out, you can play at a decent level with technically inefficient strokes if the stroke output and consistency is decent enough. There are many approaches out there but I am familiar enough with what...

It's an incorrect approach. I use to think like you. The bottom line is that spin comes from hitting the ball off center. What is ideal is to read the incoming ball and set the angle early and only use the closing over as a last second modification if necessary. Making the closing process...

Freitas gave it to Ma Long. As did Boll. People look too hard at the third ball forehand but forget that you only get that chance with the serves. That's why WLQ was not a third ball master.

Post video if you want proper feedback. Otherwise, just practice the correct stroke until it works. It is not too late a change a bad habit. You just have to stop focusing on putting the ball on the table and just do the stroke until the stroke puts the ball on the table.

That's like saying that because you have the second best short push in the world, your short push is weak. Ask Xu Xin and Ovtcharov about Ma Long's short pushes. Or ask Oshima about Ma Long's pushing game in general. There was even a match where Ma Long blocked down Xu Xin so much that it was...
