  1. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    This is from Timo. He even advocates for it. I seem to do it aswell but maybe too much. His elbow isn't going that far back from this angle atleast. I also do whatever you wrote clearly to be seen at this timestamp: So I wonder if you actually watched the 3min video. Not sure what you mean by...
  2. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    So in yesterdays training session I tried to do it. I cut the video super short so everyone can watch the full video (its under 3min) I took like 30-40sec of each video. I feel like without opening the arm(the video previous to this one) I achieved the same "quality" or not? Maybe you can...
  3. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Yes I noted this and wrote it in the post aswell. In the earlier trainingsession I was opening that angle even though the motion still looked jerky to me. Now in the last one I agree its exactly how you describe. Because the focus was purely on contactpoint and not how my backswing looks like...
  4. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Sorry its still uploading in a better quality will take approx 1,5h. I also took took your feedback and timestamped each different drill in the video. Focus today was mainly on hitting forwards and "thick" contact nothing else. Highlight from a Drill: (one parellel one diagonal) Match...
  5. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    You completely missed the entire point of this thread. I keep posting new sessions which start with just basic FH TS (I start with drives but not filming that anymore) and then move to different FH oriented drills. We can agree on that FH has a lot of spectrum and I need to train against...
  6. Where to train in London?

    28 Apr - 10 May I am planning to go there around that date and maybe there is also not an expensive option to train while visiting the city and watching the pros matches? If there are just people around my level around >1600TTR thats also cool.
  7. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    how is my form not bad. I go from closed racket and then open it. Get tons of edge hits (lately its been less and mostly happens during warmup only) And if you talk about the last training sessions yes there I am fully thinking about technique but I didn't convert it to matchplay yet. So I have...
  8. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    "Just put the fucking ball on the table. You currently can’t put 10 in a row even 5 is a struggle." I did this drill many times and I can do it but with less power ~60-70%. Depending on my blocking partner I can go up to 20+ but usually towards 20 I go harder and either do the error myself or he...
  9. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I don't want to lose to lower rated players. With my playstyle its close to impossible actually. What I do expect is that what I train I somehow transfer it to matchplay against better players. There I don't care if I still lose. If I train something specific and I can only apply to players...
  10. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I only got to play with the 2nd best player for 2h once. But I think he enjoys with training number 1 for an hour and let it be. Even when we trained together I told him which drill he wants. He said 1-1 bh and fh. He did 5 balls and said ok I can do it again. Last 45min we did 2x matches. It...
  11. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Again even though I agree on some of your points that other aspects could be improved instead to level up my game that is not why this thread is for. When I work on my fh I am not doing the same drill for 40min+. I am not sure I feel like some people just want to comment for comments sake...
  12. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    The 18y old did it consistently I was going nuts out of 20TS he hit like 18. It was closer to the table the same distance you saw me doing that drill with the grandpa. Maybe even closer than that. He has shorter arms and legs maybe thats why it works better for him. No he is definetly beatable...
  13. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    @NextLevel "You train because of you not because of someone else" yeah I agree I guess I just got jealous he aquired that skill "naturally" I was working for a month.. Match wise my weakness is definetly my position at the table. Recovery after the shot and everything can be better sure but...
  14. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    also compared to his fh stroke, which part is longer in my video? I feel like the difference might be the distance to the table since thats a bit harder to compare to me. He might be a tad further away for me. In matches I don't get to loop from that far ever. the fh balls I get would sink...
  15. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Well vs the 18y you can consider a bad loss he had like 1490 rating basically same rating as me. I lost 1-3 last set 11-13. He was the better player pressuring me hard with his fh. Basically whipping through with lots of topspin even though I knew he was gonna loop to my fh I couldn't even hold...
  16. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    In the last few training videos I am not stiff. If anyone says so then they have no clue. Tournament is over at 20:30 was a disaster planning of the matches... first I arrived at 8am with my brother. Warmed up for an hour until his group games started. I went to have a quick breakfast. Came...
  17. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Which inbetween steps are you talking about? Pros still go for that large swing. I automatically shorten my swing aswell I am just a "perfectionist" so I somehow care more about hitting perfect topspins all the time when its almost impossible with my age, training environment etc to ever reach...
  18. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    My opponents who have higher rating than me are less athletic than me I would say 40+ 50+ age But they stay on the table in a way that they seem to be able to return any ball I give them placement wise. Even the middle. Not only that the ball they bring back makes me lose stability. None of...
  19. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Hmm yeah it would def make me feel better. I can go out of the hall and go eat something for breakfast. That 1800 player I trained with top 3 in the county pointwise said in that video vs the oldie he just watched first minute said my strokes are too long I have to shorten it even though I was...
