the one @ 2'16 on the video is from another planet

I like to scream from time to time as well, but its really too much from his side

yes i remember reading this article. Perhaps the guy read it as well.. lol...

Basically he had difficulties to attack this serve with his FH, so he tried Chiquita many times, but success rate went down under pressure, and he was exposing himself too much. Also, his opponent Miyamoto caught him wrong footed a few times with some long topspin receive putting the ball a few...

Harimoto LIVE here http://labolive.com/watch/76 (edit he won this game in 2nd round senior) now he is in trouble in the junior QF down 1-2 http://labolive.com/watch/86 Harimoto lost 9-11 in the 5th game. He had a lot of problem with the YG serve to his FH side...

Incredible that there is a stream for each of the 24 tables

in the Junior category, seeded players started playing (4th round) and Harimoto won his match in boys singles. in girls singles, Hayata and Miyu Kato won their match.

labolive not working for me either, whether i use VPN or not

actually I've doubled checked, the 4 first rounds are played best of 5, and from there its best of 7 So, to be more precise, in the first 3 (qualifying) rounds, there are no seeded players. In the 4th round (best 64), the 32 seeds meet 32 qualifiers. All those games are best of 5. Then round...

not sure what you mean with those numbers. Its best of 7 games (4 games win).

What is this place with the tables ? It looks more like an apartment or office building

1 hour with a coach = 3 hours with your buddies...

@JeffM i'm not surprised by the result at all. In the last video, the guy was winning but was using basically just one tactic, exploiting the same weakness, and we could see his strokes were less spinny and with less quality than yours. You just played for consistency some shots, not great...

I'll try to film a BH drill next time.. FH/BH transition is one of the basic difficulties to overcome and i haven't yet. BH alone is quite good (I think you'll be surprised actually because the random drill gives a very bad result in comparison). its a mix of different things : the randomness...

well first my blade+rubbers are quite fast. what is important is the impact, the stroke is shortened but quite fast, and as NL says i try to help from my body, I try to use my legs and always give a small forward impulse without losing my balance. Maybe its difficult to see given the angle of...

W O W how many takes / minutes (or hours ?) to do that ??? very very very impressive

good brothers, no one is crying at the end :-) its a pretty cool vid, you were really playing very well already

I've been doing some drills today with my coach. First video topspin (half table) vs block second video random vs block i've improved quite a bit but there is still a lot of work to do. I see my upper body is way too upright. I wish my coach reminded me so i could work more on it.

@Archosaurus many people don't wanna play with weaker players but actually its good, because you have usually more time to think, and you can practice to play cleaner shots and perfect your technique.

my "special" is my BH smash. usually i would have time to use my FH, but i just prefer to be lazy and hit with my BH smash to kill an easy ball. Its more spectacular if I use it in a FH to FH rally where i'm pushed far on the right of the table, and i have no time to get the next ball a little...
