    While this video is not a tutorial, it has some interesting ideas related to recent conversation on backhand. We are not at the footwork or hitting hard stage.

    Quite a few things have helped improve the quality of feedback. But it is all relative, and sometimes related to personality.

    Agreed, the resources and execution are incredible.

    The ball is round but these things happen once in a blue moon. Is anyone picking Hugo for WTTC next month?

    I think he played mostly like this to be honest. I think that inability to call a timeout in game 1 vs Moregardh screwed him royally.

    They will blame the seamless ball and make sure it isn't used at the next big event until they figure it out lol.

    Changing habits is often difficult. We just try a lot of things to make it better. Some things work, some don't. But remeber with self multiball, the goal is not to hit the ball hard or play your backhand topspin hard. It is to do the exact swing that you want to do (fixed elbow, no reaching...

    Hugo has the experience of beating a younger LSD. Whether that is a plus or that vengeance will prevail is anyone's guess.

    In the videos I have looked at with backhand topspin dated 4/19, we can do a.bit better. The problem you have is that you are trying to put the ball on the table rather than swing a specific way. This usually results in you not making radical changes to your technique because your body will...

    The thing about pips is that if your game is mature and has a good structure for adjusting to spin, pips are not that big an issue as long as you resist the urge to play too fast since the ball generally has less spin. The intuitive physics of the game is important and most people struggle...

    My coach used to call Ma Longs technique a "dive" and Fan Zhendongs a " shove" but you are looking at something that is not the key to wherer their power comes from. Coach Meng at WRM TV had different videos for the techniques (kong vs kaitai or something like that). The point is not that the...

    LSD is the favorite but so were Harimoto and WCQ. Hugo also does well vs heavy spin and hoping Monteiro can figure out something to get him through.

    It will be a battle for who has the most powerful backhand in the world.

    Now if only Monteiro had coached him at the Olympics lol... But this is the best palate cleanser all things considered... Hugo really needed this.

    Come on Hugo - erase the Olympics, end the moral victories and get a real one!
