Both of your left arms moves so little that you two might as well just leave it there lol. Your serve is way more illegal than his, so yeah you're right, you have absolutely no right to bitch about it.

Yeah, short to half long lefty hook serves to the FH is very difficult to receive (see Par Gerell, WCQ for e.g. or even before him, Sun Ting). Almost not possible to see the contact because they always hide it and it's the more difficult sidespin to loop with FH (you have to loop it more on the...

speak for yourself - count the percentage of mistakes and pop-ups you made when receiving illegal serves? Or how many mistakes/pop-up your partner made when receiving your illegal serves?

This is why anti/LP rubbers are so advantageous at amateur level, you can basically deal with these illegal serves easily which are just way too common (OP is not even the exception unfortunately). You can see that their left arms are intentionally left out for as long as possible, and the ball...

Yes you just rob momentum to the sides... no need for any fancy chopblock or topspin movement. If you master this, short pushing sidetopspin short serves is no big deal and this is a huge gamechanger at certain levels.

Do this training a lot. Once you did a lot you will unlock this skill. Side benefit is that your short push level will also significantly go up.

i think the sponge allows for more possibilities of actively creating mechanical friction and changing up the spin. So ppl with good technique (at least from what I've seen) can selectively control how much they want to reverse the spin (or kill the spin completely).

a lot of it is due to technique. Basically, at any point of the stroke your waist shouldn't be twisting or bending. The movement should come from the hip, knee joints and the feet - the waist (i.e. lower back) is not a real joint and overusing it is likely to lead to lower back injuries (as many...

lol they're everywhere especially at the higher amateur level.....

OX for sure....

Dude, take away your left arm after throwing the ball for your FH serve. Surprised that no one called you out for hiding the serve so blatantly...

I would also add that serve quality is very important here, and 3rd ball attack doesnt necessarily come from short serves. Long serves can be even more limiting for your opponent. With each serve, you have to know various easiest/safest return option and prepare to punish this option with a lot...

First is to train recovery after serve - you have to be in the neutral ready position by the 2nd bounce of the serve. Second is then add in opponent's receive. Start with looping long pushes to say the BH. It has to feel easy and you have to get like 80% landing rate before you even move to...

Badminton a bit more fun because there are more players around and none of the stupid illegal serve + battle of the most confusing pips/anti crap that happens in TT. But TT is more interesting with the spin variations (although badminton has spin nets too it is not anywhere close). Tbh, now...

Funny that FZD received WCQ's serve so poorly and yet won...

On FH, there is insufficient bend at the hips especially being a tall player. Stick your butt out more and keep the body leaned forward. The FH preparation position is basically a lunge BH actually looks better but there's not enough hip rotation power. Arm stroke looks good on both wings, it...

I have something different and more slippery (butterfly super anti), i can play drives against any ball I want. But it wont be as spinny as inverted for sure.

There are some anti rubbers which are a bit like SP for eg the anti speed.

Too much reliance on BH chiquita. The problem with BH chiquita is that there are players who are happy to let him open first and then crush him in the ensuing topspin rally since they are faster than him (mainly Harimoto, Lin Shidong, Felix Lebrun). He needs to develop a bit more well rounded...

Watched a bit and you do look decent. the main thing was that 1) your BH power is not coming from your body but your arm at the moment which limits your BH to just medium pace shots. The power should be coming explosively from your hips. This will allow you to do a lot more from your BH and it...
