The paddle is probably starting much too low to loop a topspin ball but it looks like a good swing.

Archo, We play this game at a subconscious level, so even when we know what we are supposed to do, it takes forever to do it. And then when we practice a lot against a certain level of ball, we get shown up by a different kind or level of ball. IF you do a magic trick in slow motion, everyone...

It's a prank. That's why I built in other absurd elements that you didn't pick up on. So that even if you thought that was plausible, there was enough silly stuff in there that my targets did pick up on. But it's okay. You don't have to like the joke.

Yes, in practice, most proper loops that have good and complete form will end up as corkscrew if the right contact is made. Nothing extra needs to be done. Of course, sometimes, for amateurs who hit too hard into the back of the ball, it might help for them to be made conscious of the fact...

Like I said, the ball spins in only one way. If you continue to hang over how much of this or that the ball has, you will miss the practical point and get hung up on things that will not help your TT. IF you mean that you can treat the ball like a topspin ball and have few problems if any at...

The most basic and obvious form of corkscrew in a TT stroke is called the "snake" or "wiggly" when people make the ball kick sideways by brushing the bottom of it.

IT's not high level technique. IT's just logic. Look at my loops in this video. The ball kicks sideways when it hits the table That's corkscrew. If it was sidespin, it would be curving in the air massively and that is not what the ball is doing. A true hook is sidespin. Most pros...

Carl, Archo, In practical terms in table tennis, all corkscrew means is that the ball kicks sideways when it hits the table because of how it is spinning. What sidespin means is that the ball curves in flight in the air sideways. Getting too technical about it is what causes you to think...

Like I said, that's how I know you are just being who you are. :p

Archo, You are often just being who you are. Kowa (or Sebas Aguirre) tries to agitate people. I know he gets it. He is just looking for a way to get under my skin.

Yes, and NextLevel going to the 2020 Olympics and wanting to break 2500 and getting dropped by all his coaches? Lighten up buddy!

Don't worry. Train hard with pips. On a more serious note, I told my friends I had found my ideal combo earlier this year and I would not switch. That's part of the prank as well.

Ligthen up buddy, have you ever played ZJK?

Hmm... I only have one point from this match, but it shows you my potential to be high class.

Shuki, Our games are more similar than you think so I understand your pain 100%. Ovtcharov is my high level.soul mate. Yes you can banana flick from the forehand side or even push with your backhand or basic backhand flick. I will find a video from a a Canadian player for you sometime on...

Yes, it's viable. As you pointed out, it depends on the opponent. In this game, you build more weapons so that you don't have nothing to throw at someone who is foiling your A game/plan. IF you find someone with a strong topspin game, a banana might take you ought of position. So you still...

I, NextLevel, master of Lumberjack TT, have trained for 5 years in order to look like a respectable table tennis player. After working with my first coach for four years, he gave up on me, saying that no matter how hard I tried, I could not look like a true or good table tennis player. So I...

Yes, but if you finish with your paddle facing the right wall and just try to figure out the technique that gets it, you will be fine. You don't always have to take the ball "later", just take it in your strike zone. I am always reluctant to give specific timing instructions - with practice...

TTM buddy, I watched the matches again. I think I can give you something for your backhand. Your forehand is corkscrew. You could probably try to fade with it once in a while but corkscrew is good. Your backhand is fade or regular top but I think the backhand fade is very easy to turn into...

Dead balls is a bit different. That is more like a chop block.
