  1. Reading Spin + Tactics

    Because on fh you can adjust your stroke more. With the bh I am by nature hitting the ball in front of me and the contactpoint has to be in front slightly to my left even. I am slow because I have no clue what I am supposed to do. I tried slow drives some I rememver just going all in and...
  2. Reading Spin + Tactics

    What the fk is going on. Idc if he starts below the table unless he curves the ball when theowing it up. Other than that I can clearly see the contactpoint. I just don't understand the spin of the ball. It's just too fast and slight spin variation still affects a lot. I also never trained...
  3. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Sorry haven't been training this week. I hit the gym and still dealing with muscle soreness all over the body on the 3rd day (I went on sunday) Anyway I just come along this slowmo video. I think I was overthinking my backstroke too much. It seems other pro players do it aswell. here...
  4. Reading Spin + Tactics

    Yeah I am too old to waste my time on the perfect technique that might not even exist for me even. Even if it does how often do you get that perfect ball stand perfect and have time etc. I agree with the video that the contact is the most important. Watched the game from FZD against gauzy he...
  5. Reading Spin + Tactics

    Tbh G09c feels as hard as d09c there is not much difference. I feel like g09c is slower but not "softer" or easier to activate. G1 is a bit easier to activate but still very hard feeling. I had d80 on my bh on this korbel even. I didn't like it. I can see it being easier to play when out of...
  6. Reading Spin + Tactics

    What would you suggest then? In terms of blocking and when I feel warmed up I really like it. On the fh though I would want the same characteristics but something softer that activates earlier. Bh I just refuse to change for now. Because no rubber will make my bh better if anything it will...
  7. Reading Spin + Tactics

    I do mostly "beautiful" drills with rythm even though it might be an irregular exercise. Or semi irregular. But in matches the rythm changes fast and I am completely lost with my positioning. But this is to this specific player. Being lost on serve receive and in the match with short, to the...
  8. Reading Spin + Tactics

    One last thing. Should I stick with d09c both sides when I can only loop with loop with quality in the drills? Feels like drill quality loops: Bh 70% Fh 60% (taking footwork drills into account otherwise for static ones 85%) TrainingsMatches: Bh 50% Fh 40% Real matches Bh 15% Fh 30% Numbers...
  9. Who are the players you enjoy watching the most? and least?

    I assume from the active players: I really enjoyed watching(live): Filus Anton LS Not so much(playstyle): Fzd Online: Gauzy Truls, LS, WC Harimoto Franziska Omar Jorgic Mengel French brothers but only if they play against each other. Not so much: Hugo - watching his serve prep stresses me...
  10. Reading Spin + Tactics

    Those are stuff idc about. He does tomahawk serve where he throws the ball into him. But I didnt call it even though I struggled since I know it has topspin atleast. The only serve I could tell what the spin on the ball was.. Rally wise it felt better to push his service back but I didnt want...
  11. Reading Spin + Tactics

    Played him today. Not even close 0-3. I returned his serves better but his blocks and chop blocks short were just better than my offense. He was very scared when I looped with spin and slow. But these shorter blocks and even the long balls that I attacked didnt bother him at all. I varied my...
  12. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Here cut the video short again. The order is wrong the drive to loop starts at the end. The one who blocks well is the youth coach. The other 2 drills are with the younger player ~1000 rated. Was focusing on consistency and getting the same topspin quality. Once I played with the coach I...
  13. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    When driving the ball my hips rotate the same time as my arms. But when looping there is like an 10-20% offset. Talking about the activation sequence. But I don't have it right 100% of the time yet sometimes its at same time and sometimes hips stay rotated.
  14. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Well the goal was to get away from this passive slow brush loop style I was doing prior. There is a term called differential or something that basically says to do the other extreme. I am also unsure yet if I need to topspin like timo boll does in that video I posted where he whips the...
  15. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I agree with everything you said. I still get the feeling you are trying to give me a hidden message. Because right now I do train and experimented with my strokes and everything. Also never said I expect the changes to happen in a few weeks. I might get frustrated at it but thats part of the...
  16. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Yes you described it well that by focusing on one part I was regressing on the other. When I focused purely on thick contact I was not opening my arm for example. When I was focusing on opening arm aswell it was hard to get the right height before accelerating forwards etc. So I am exactly in...
  17. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I meant I am deliberatly trying to loop by opening my arm. It's like my mind is set on looping by opening the arm and whipping into the ball. Even though the block comes faster and I should just accept and backswing shorter. That is what I was trying to say. Obviously since I will be hitting...
  18. 3rd ball attack feedback

    You dont accelerate into the ball at all. Try hitting the ball more when brushing upwards still. For the first open up loop you stay close to the table don't go back. After the open up double jump back a bit for the next ball and shorten the backswing. I would first practise this vs blocks or...
  19. Reading Spin + Tactics

    This is my goal to receive with confidence but not being able to see the spin on the ball makes me lose confidence. Maybe I can try standing further to the left but he might abuse my wide fh then. Not sure if I have enough time to pivot with the fh. Whatever I will try my luck in case I face...
  20. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Why should I rotate faster when I am already happy with the speed and pace? My goal was to get reps in against block not to end the rally. He also doesn't give me passive block but gives it back with good pace. My fh loop looks different than from drive. For example there is forearm...
