  1. Is it bad to mainly focus on the weight transfer while having a fixed arm for doing a forehand drive?

    Usually FH drive is like warmup and basic countering without much spin, then what he wrote would make more sense. If he meant drive loop (think that is more a Korean term), then yeah what you said makes sense. I have met quite a few players who only practice looping and never countering - it...
  2. Is it bad to mainly focus on the weight transfer while having a fixed arm for doing a forehand drive?

    Quite excessive for a FH drive. With FH drive you should have a much more compact movement and rotation than a loop. It is a warmup after all to get the feeling of good ball contact. If you do all that body rotation and intentionally not create that much spin it is a bad habit imo, if you rotate...
  3. Need Forehand Rubber Advice

    D05 for sure. Dont bother with Tenergy. If you put tackiness enhancer on D05 it becomes even better. Mine is 2 yrs old and still serves and loops with amazing spin
  4. Luka Mladenovic EASILY beats Darko Jorgic - can you explain the power of AntiSpin?

    Luka has very good feeling on that anti chopblock and Jorgic kept doing slow spinny loops to him which again imo is a mistake. When I was using anti, I loved playing against ppl who gave me slow spinny loops lol. You could do so much quality and variation on the chopblock. Fake/dead opening...
  5. Luka Mladenovic EASILY beats Darko Jorgic - can you explain the power of AntiSpin?

    Lol jorgic's serves all had way too much sidespin which enabled Luka to make too much weird af balls. Strange that he didn't just do flat (ie pure underspin/no spin) serves and receives. His game is way too reliant on that heavy sidetopspin serve which basically is the juiciest serve for an anti...
  6. 2 Match Review (best 3 of 5). Open to tips & feedback: Lefty Penholder

    If you aim even further left, you can curve it with sidespin down the line and that is imo the most stable way to go down the line. I do a lot of BH opening loop down the line too in this way too. But with down the line you can't put so much power, you have to really load up the spin, but this...
  7. 2 Match Review (best 3 of 5). Open to tips & feedback: Lefty Penholder

    Very nice relaxed playstyle and powerful loops! I see someone is probably watching a lot of Xu Xin matches lol... Few things that I can see: You need to commit to looping the blatant long and half long serves. Pushing long serves will land you in trouble most of the time unless you can chop it...
  8. Feedback on my League games

    Videos can be quite deceiving - because Ma Long has longer arms/legs than say Lin Shidong or Fan Zhendong so even at the same backswing position his bat will always look lower than theirs. Also taking the bat low using the body and taking it low using the arm is also completely different, even...
  9. Feedback on my League games

    Hmm this is very interesting. I guess you can always brute force everything with a hook loop, but for me that hasn't worked well against clockwise sidespin serves (for me righty FH pendulum or lefty hook serves) unless I have a very precise read of the incoming serve, esp the top/bottom/side...
  10. Videos from my Training Session

    I watched a bit of the training6 video on serve receive. You do a 1 step lunge for receives of short balls. Usually the more correct way is to use 3 quick steps (right, left and then right) instead of 1. This allows you to more precisely adjust to the ball as you are moving towards it, taking...
  11. I recorded myself PT 2

    Yeah i think that is probably a much more solid grip to use :)
  12. Disappointed on myself

    Yes... let it go and have fun.... stop having expectations and enjoy the process. Laugh some during training and matches. You are not a pro anyways so there is no point bothering too much about winning/losing.
  13. I recorded myself PT 2

    The multiball is actually really quite decent lol. There are lots of good stuff like having short stroke, moving well, use of hips, fast recovery, etc... Not sure about 1st video coz that is a bit of a potato quality vid. Could you post some pics of your grip? Idk but it feels a bit off for...
  14. Videos from my Training Session

    With BH the weight transfer + hip rotation is a very small rotation (maybe only 45 deg max) which is why it is not very evident. But it is for sure present especially in modern players (for eg old gen players like Samsonov dont use it basically). Imo it helps a lot with stability and consistency...
  15. Videos from my Training Session

    The main issues i can see are: BH hip rotation is nonexistent. Without this you are forced to use the arm for the movement. You are basically only hinging on your hips which leads to leaning back after the shot. With hip rotation you can get a lot more explosive with the BH. FH hip rotation...

    Dude TT players are mostly too poor - it is a bad market for AI imo.
