I watched a bit, and I used to have a lot of the same issues and had to fix them one by one. The fundamental issue is that the time you take to initiate a stroke is too much - and the only way you shorten it is by eliminating arm movement as much as possible and keeping elbow close to body, use...

I think if you did martial arts, you would be great at creating a lot of power from the hip and transferring it up to the hand which is incredibly important in table tennis. One of the highest rated penholders here where I play is also an ex martial arts guy who has the hardest short stroke FH...

Noshad also has incredible serves and touch - especially his reverse pendulum is particularly deadly from the matches I seen him play. He uses it very well to set up his BH attack. And with his short game touch he somehow always manages to either attack first and not give good attack...

I agree, I think An Jaehyun gave up too early, he should be playing his normal aggressive close table game, control the short game to get the 1st attack in instead of trying to target any weakness - Noshad has some weaknesses but he knows exactly what to do when others target his weakness. For...

Crazy game- Noshad not only can play whole table BH but also right hand FHs and BHs lolllll what is this?!

I have 2 pairs of Vibrams and I can attest to it's effectiveness in terms of training up the foot muscles. I also use them in the gym and when I'm out running etc. The training is really good for TT especially in terms of the proper usage of the feet and the ability to never land on the heels...

What sports shirts do you guys wear/recommend? I feel like if the material is not quick drying then having sweat on the shirt which then transfers to the rubbers is the worst. If it's too loose then it's a big hindrance especially during serves. If it's too tight, then with certain...

Lol the ball was already going back when it goes out the table 😂 damn that's some serious backspin.... Reminds me of Ma Lin's infamous half long serve against ZJK

I suspect also that the robot also gives unnatural balls which may not translate to real world balls which have a lot more variation. I haven't trained with multiball or robots for the longest of time, and when I got some multiball training from the coach I was discussing technique with, I was...

Weird... I've experienced also incredible longevity with my D05s (year+ without that much degradation), while my D09cs just deteriorated like crazy. It was getting increasingly spinless and much worse than D05 - my friend even thought he was playing with some pre-made bat lol. That said I do...

As with all strokes, the key to stability/consistency is the use of the body to control the stroke rather than the arm, and the mindset to move in a way to always keep the ball in the ideal zone of hitting in front of you.

What I learnt recently is that you can bend from the hips more for both FH and BH to get lower to loop underspin. I used to bend a lot from the knees, but really the hip bending method saves a lot of energy because then you don't need to bend at the knees so much and your centre of gravity can...

Also on penhold BH, long pips is insanely good. Imo LP RPB + a strong penhold FH works wonders. One older guy (he's a bit semi pro tho) playing like that even wins against the top players here including the ex Chinese provincial player 😂 The amount of variations you can get with inverted TPB...

Just boost your H3 like what everyone else is doing haha. If you're lazy like me Hurricane 8-80 is quite good and about 80-90% there.

I would want to add something: Most of the pros are not mere mortals - there's many reasons why they're at the top of the world especially in terms of physical abilities and touch. Hence a lot of their strokes and even equipment may not be suited for amateurs. It's actually much easier to watch...

Besides the reply on myTT, I will share what I have settled on personally for my own BH loop. I too have experimented a huge ton on wrist movements for the BH loop and settled on this mechanism (no wrist movement, only thumb driven supination where I use the middle joint of the thumb to initiate...

Hmm interesting - my last 09c lasted only max 4 months before a huge drop in spin generation performance which completely defeats the purpose of using 09c (to get the killer spin). A few of my training partners experienced the same. Maybe you got a good batch and we all got a terrible batch :(...

I tried this a bit - yes you can produce some ridiculous sideunderspin with it. I could easily create double bouncing "loops" which come back. But the consistency is just horrible due to the lack of Magnus effect especially against wildly varying serves ... Also it's damn hard to fool ppl with it.

It looks like his namesake and is a hook serve movement. But he throws his racket up to make it look like a loop during the followthrough... This would be a really disgusting serve receive against serves that drift long if combined with the slow spinny loop imo, just wow at the amount of...
