If missing the high balls is an error, why can Mizutani best almost everyone in the world lobbing except the top 5 players in the world?

One trick... again????

I think people underestimate PPH's consistency and movement. Shot quality isn't everything, if it was I would be 2200. I am not the one who says that, people who play me do. In any case, I am developing a couple of new techniques. Of course, there is the One-Loop-Kill and there is the...

You aren't supposed to loop high balls with your backhand. In fact, the backhand should play a very limited role in the success of a serious player unless the player is significantly backhand oriented, in which case it can do a little more but with a note of its limitations. In general, the...

Why don't you think you played well? What were you expecting to do?

Everyone's backhand is more efficient in transferring whip - it's a smaller stroke and needs the whip to work. Otherwise, your backhand just plain sucks. So that's besides the point. And I guess because of my backhand, I rarely spend time looking at people's backhands. But I'm really trying...

I'll answer when you have posted 5 videos of your more recent play.

The thing I noticed the most in this video was the choice of opponent/training partner. Lefty shakehand. Definitely not an accident. I also wonder what was being said. Maybe the audio was taken out. I think to understand what was being said, one might have to watch the recent matches...

I am going to steal this idea and use it on my ooakforum avatar etc.

Because if his avatar, David is hereby renamed One Loop Man. He always wins the point with One Loop ;).

For people who don't know, DerEchte aka RamboLooper has one of the heaviest whip FH motions in the history of TTD. If you block that thing and your ball does not go into the sky, you were taking steroids. No need to test your blood, you are going to be banned on the basis of incontrovertible...

DerEchte, Brett should be in the US and coming with me to that tournament in Howard County on Sept 3. Be there or be square. I gave you fair notice.

Brett was really good to me for a long time when I was trying to fix my forehand and was patiently answering questions that he later addressed in TTEDGE videos (some of which he made available in youtube). The advanced serving mechanics one is probably the one you can learn the most from in a...

For the trial, practice your serves and serve return and your third ball attack. Get someone to serve you the basic spins and develop good returns for them, especially well placed attacking and defensive returns. Learn where to contact the ball to negate the effects of sidespin. If you do well...

People just don't know how hard this sport can be when you are trying to change a habit. Seriously. Whenever someone complains about doing stuff they are trying to change, you can tell if they know the drill or not.

It's the truth, not a joke.

I was going to say it like you said it but I doubt Siva would have been convinced enough to lock it down. Once you understand or can execute whip mechanics, table tennis gets transformed. The other thing Siva is that when making changes like this, exaggeration tends to give you the best quick...

This was the video Brett used when explaining this:

Where you really need to look is at the end of the backswing. That is what sets up the rest of the stroke. It is much harder to catch at contact and follow through, especially on most pro forehands, though sometimes, you can see it. One of Ma Long's strokes has it pretty strongly even on the...
