Lmao Faraji once again strikes! I have no idea how Lin Shidong lost, so many weird mistakes and weird tactics... Lin Shidong just really had to add more sidespin to his BH opening loop to really increase the pivot difficulty for Faraji, and then force the BH-BH exchange until Faraji gives up...

Made Zhang Jike sweat, nice!

Bh topspin using FH rubber without twiddling

Everyone talking about how it loops, but how does it perform in the short game?

Played after 7 months of inactivity lol. Felt like a sloth on the table and I couldn't even get my FH pendulum serves from working in the beginning but later got the hang of. Paired with a very speedy and fast player who I found very hard to rally against. In general I had more spin, he was way...

Yep precisely. The problem is not that you cant do sidespin flicks - with Xu Xin style strawberry shots you can in fact flick it with both sidespin directions with just FH rubber and it is way more deceptive than shakehand, but does it really help? The flick just forces the game to go into...

Yeah no point on doing such complicated stuff. Just literally serve short no spin and attack their long pushes or weak flicks - they cant add a lot to an empty ball. I dont think they will be able to short push it. And on the receive loop all their serves if possible, if it is short then just...

WCQ really fears defence and rally monsters who can defend his 1st attack and then consistently dominate in the rallies with heavy spin. Players like Fan Zhendong or ZJK before - but Fan Zhendong seems to have passed the crown to Wang Chuqin for no good reason...

Biggest problem Felix had is he couldn't read the spin on Wang Chuqin's serves, whereas Wang Chuqin was reading his serves like a book. It was strange that Felix only served FH pendulum - no hook serves or RPB serves? Wang Chuqin's fast long serves (coming with either underspin or no spin or...

I find that YG serve is a bit tough on the wrist and hands imo. I used to serve a lot of YG too but after learning the hook, i find that hook serve achieves the same spin effect and has many advantages over the YG serve imo. Hook serve has more spin variations and is way more deceptive to boot...

XP would be a dream matchup for Felix - it is too difficult to pivot against the RPB sidespin and XP's BH is not at the same level as the rest of the CNT. So Felix can just force the BH-BH rallies and win there. WCQ is a different kettle of fish because he is a lefty, the natural RPB sidespin...

From the other side, I fear the Jpen TPB a lot more than Cpen.

Feels super unstable especially on the racket angle flailing about too much. If you're starting out i would highly recommend to keep it simple.

It's not that difficult, just place 2 small cameras on either side of the net post. The ball has to be visible the entire time throughout the service, and this will be monitored via video feed by a service judge.

LGY's FH has some technical issues because he defaults to curving around the ball which leads to less power (but weirder sidespin curves). He compensated for it by smart tactics and lefty angles, but eventually everyone was exploiting these weaknesses. But yeah, to say he is not a successful...

Nah his FH really improved a lot over the past years. His issue sometimes is that he always defaults to spin the ball more rather than looping through it. It is a weird habit which basically originated from when he was losing to Ma Long and Fan Zhendong due to a lack of consistency (he was...

From what I observe with Harimoto, he always prioritises (habit) not making a mistake with his FH so he is always going for a lot of spin in his contact instead of just going forward through the ball boldly. This is especially when he faces unfamiliar opponents. He is perfectly capable of...

Imo the perfect solution is to learn a deadly BH down the line. Few options - punch down the line, normal BH spin or my favourite which is the fade BH. Once you use this you force the opponent to use their FH to take the ball, which gives you ample opportunity to activate your FH loop.

Badminton has service judges who monitor the height of services like a hawk using specialised equipment. TT is just.... sad

+1. Another good cue is to stick your butt out. Pretty much slight knee bend + decent forward lean is sufficient.
