Imo, thinking of killing services is not a good mindset to be in as a receiver. It is just too risky. Just looping long serves with great variation and placement is already sufficient to get an advantageous position to leverage off from. Now I just think of contact points on the ball against...

Really impressed with Heming's FH and footwork - any new video on that? :P

I have so many. 1) FH pendulum (sideunder or sidetop) short and very wide to the BH. If they BH loop or chiquita it, it will always be sort of diagonal unless they go around the net which is a super high risk shot for them and you applaud them if they make it. So if they like to loop it be...

Even if the opponent does not attack anything but is serving long heavy sidetopspin would you still push it? Pushing a long heavy sidetopspin is not easy at all and could lead to a lot of pop ups and direct errors.

Most important for me is reaching the backswing position with the body and legs. Hand can just follow the body and be relaxed. And then just wait for ball to come to the optimal hitting position and you start the forward swing. The faster and more accurately you reach the backswing position with...

Imo pushing a long heavy sidetopspin serve is actually even lower percentage shot than looping. Now chopping works but a lot of ppl can't do it properly. For me looping it is a higher percentage shot and also more deadly. I basically bully pushers with long fast serves with wildly varying spin...

I play at a club where they just give me short sideunderspin tomahawk chopblocks when I try to do FH loops at them and then random topspin blocks, and then they giggle and laugh when I miss my 2nd loop against them. What amazes me is that they can somehow execute this rather consistently because...

You just had to FH loop his serves to win against these players. Show no mercy and really give them the max topspin. His serves (BH pendulum and FH tomahawk) all turn anticlockwise (from your perspective), and your normal FH loop movement is naturally anticlockwise too, so you just need to ride...

It is a combined effect from all the different sources of power all working together in a well coordinated and tightly timed sequence. Imo from my journey: 1. I had to figure out how to generate heavy topspin just with the forearm and fingers. Penhold is different to shakehand but for me I use...

If you look at how Ma Long and Fan Zhendong combines both techniques, it is not impossible to use both. Basically Harimoto's BH (higher finish forwards, short stroke) is extremely good in terms of speed, recovery and defending/counterattacking against incoming topspin. But the breaking BH (反撕)...

Today i actually played a lot of mid distance FH looping which I really liked. I finally found a really good feeling in connecting the body with my arm. Tbh this is more valuable than trying to loop against all the nonsense blocks from the old players with their random sidetopspin...

If everyone is serving from the same distance (almost at edge of table), changing it up means other players have to make an adjustment when playing against him, since the rhythm and trajectory is different. Personally I serve almost at edge of table too because this leaves the least amount of...

No such thing, either you use a fast blade and work hard on short game and pushes (see Harimoto for eg) and benefit from not having to put in so much work. Or you use a slower blade and then work hard on producing the power on your attacking shots (for eg most CNT players).

Lee Sang Su - what did you change in your game to become so dangerous to CNT players that you have won against Ma Long and Fan Zhendong? Was it the short game, BH, stability, etc?

Agreed with the recommendations to rest. I wouldnt say that weight is the main factor. Head heavy blades are the worst - you might want to look at blades with centre of gravity closer to the handle. One thing is looking at your technique to use more body and less forearms. The other...

Lol i have the opposite, my BH is way better in serve receive looping than my FH. Esp when there is half long and short serves mixed in, the BH is just way more versatile. I try to improve success rates by focusing hard on spin with my FH which compensates for my shitty FH footwork which I have...

What matters is the location on the ball of which you hit/brush the ball. If you hit the ball from below you are gonna contact it more with a more open racket angle automatically because of the stroke trajectory forces you to hit the lower half of the ball. Same goes if you come from above, it...

In addition to the stance comments which I agree with - something I noticed in the feet - your feet are jumping/shifting throughout the swing instead of rotating (like snuffing out a cigaratte with the shoes as some old Chinese tutorials say). I think technically it is about pronation/supination...

Still, med school ppl earn the most. Im in engineering and also earn quite high, but it is nowhere as high as the doctors lol. Think of the sweet money to motivate you!

If you are in med school you're gonna earn big, why would you wanna earn peanuts in TT...
