Agreed, it should feel like 'hugging' when done correctly. Still, I think it is only easy when the incoming loop quality is low. If the loop quality is high I wouldnt bother with the counterloop. Just do a safe counter using sideways movement to neutralize the incoming speed/spin, and use the...

I second TensorBackhand's suggestion - just use pips. Inverted is just damn hard and physical in terms of playstyle. Just for eg the motion of FH looping a heavy underspin ball without 'cheating' (for eg by opening racket angle a lot) cant be done by a lot of seniors due to the knee and hip bend...

Yep, serve and receive are much more applicable to real matches. Rallies come only after the serve/receive stage has been successfully nullified.

There are some videos of ZJK coaching students on bilibili and youtube, which have been quite insightful. For eg with the FH loopkill against backspin - his cues are to drop eye level as close to the net as possible and then aim at the top of the net. So this is a kinda weird cue but in order...

I usually dont even bother much with topspin vs topspin or block training these days because it is just not that important compared to other skills. Imo most important training is just serve and serve receive training (one player serves and the other receives). You can limit the serve and...

I find that the straight FH loop seems to work best against FH pendulum serves (and other balls with similar sidespin), and the hook loop works best against BH pendulum serves and also straight serves (no sidespin) but the degree of hook needs to be bit less. Apparently it is even better to...

Well, if ppl over here would read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Endowment_for_Democracy You can see in the first section: "Upon its founding, the NED assumed some former activities of the CIA. Political groups, activists, academics, and some governments have said the NED has been an...

Lol at all the usual conspiracy theorists taking it so seriously and using the same tiresome talking points. It's as if they keep reading FLG media like a true cultist.

The BH down the line is a huge killer shot (especially against penholders) that will earn you lots of points. Well worth its weight in gold in terms of practising time. With chiquita against reverse spin yes you're right that there are 2 ways. One is with the standard sidespin and the other is...

Chen Meng is already rich af and she is also the cousin of a very rich and famous actor , she is more than alright lol, much more than us commoners.

for BH against opportunity balls, for me it is easiest / most forgiving to kill it with the chiquita movement with added hip/body rotation to power it. The hard part is getting into a good position, if you don't get into position you cannot use body power which really impacts shot quality. And...

I can serve quality RP and hook serves, but tbh RP is just a pain to set up with that awkward high elbow position and uncomfortable wrist movement so I dont even bother now. Also on illegal hiding, it is just a stereotype: Wang Manyu's and Truls' hook serve are largely legal, while Maharu...

SYS and WCQ have a lot of fans (mostly women) in China compared to their teammates. Not exactly sure why, but I suspect it is because FZD and Chen Meng have a bit more stoic personalities. CNT loves making stars. So the commercial potential for CNT (read: $$$) would be higher if either of them...

The only thing which is true is the censorship in China, i think it is a stupid policy made by some dumb boomers who prob got scared by the brainwashing capabilities of western news and media which are admittedly extremely powerful. But on the other hand, they financially sponsor movies with...

It's super funny that ppl are criticizing China for some imaginary genocide when the actual genocides where millions of innocent ppl got killed in recent history (Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc... which all involve murdering millions of brown ppl) are almost all coming from the US (the exception...

I have been doing a lot of pure underspin / dead serves lately and the variation is actually a lot more complex if you know how to vary it. And also the 3rd balls generated are super easy to attack. For me there are 3 spin variations (all can be controlled via how the fingers are used during...

The funny thing about this post is how wrong it is - FZD doesnt use this grip, and Truls actually has a looser grip than FZD.

Agreed. Let's start with Tony, who has been political for the majority of his postings on TTD. As a coach he should be sharing his wisdom and technique tips, etc... but he is flaming for the majority of his posts. I would recommend that he should be given a ban or warning if zeio is banned or...

Where can I buy this?

I went away from the forum for a long time and it appears that nothing has changed lol. Some ppl also dont understand that freedom of speech has its limits too. Every country has its own laws. For eg holding up Nazi signs or promoting Nazi ideology will indeed get you arrested in many...
