Great job having the mindset of attacking the long serves to the FH! You can see he stopped doing that for free points and started exploiting other weaknesses particularly a tendency to stay too passive. Imo, on dropping the arm it is far easier to simply not drop the arm at all regardless of...

Ojio is using SP right? So she is giving a lot of fast no spin shots to anti which makes it super difficult to control for a glanti player.

My D05 is 2 yrs old and still going strong lmao

A bit surprised that Han Ying actually beat Sabine Winter. I think Sabine didnt really train using the anti for off the bounce dropshots to kill the backspin and then following it up by powerful FH loopkills. Instead she was brute force looping very strong underspin chops by Han Ying which is...

I feel like it is easier to keep my serves short if I aim my force towards the sides and upwards, maybe even a little backwards post contact. But it also depends on your setup. I play on a bouncy af setup so this is required for me to rob forward momentum sufficiently to serve short. For ppl...

Yes footwork is another issue because he doesn't take a lot of mini steps and has no idea of the split step / recovery footwork. But more importantly, his opponents are serving long to his FH without any consequences. You can't allow that to happen basically.

Yes precisely i can tell you are kinda just winging it rather than having a precise read of the ball spin, and then precisely aiming for and brushing a specific point of the ball and in a specific direction (hook, straight or fade) to ride the incoming sidespin. Without doing this it is very...

Uda has way worse results than Harimoto on the international stage... not sure why he would be an example here. And a lot of it has to do with Uda's inconsistent BH.

Sreeja Akula attacks like mad if you dare to push back her chopblocks too. The anti is simply a way to avoid being stuck in BH-BH rallying mode for Sabine, which an opponent can force onto you in way too many ways. If you can convert the game back to underspin, players who are better at FH...

The other thing I experimented with is the modern FH against topspin with less body rotation and more focused on speed and positioning and precision (think short stroke FH counterloops by Felix Lebrun, Harimoto and Lin Shidong, compared to say a full stroke FH counterloop like for eg Ma Long or...

Yeah focus a lot more on aggressively looking for that 1st loop in and bringing a lot of quality into it. But of course, to do so you need to understand precisely where to contact and how to brush for max error tolerance against serves of various types. Like what I mentioned, the contact points...

His FH is actually pretty nice now, pivoting introduces extra risk which may not pay off in today's game. Harimoto simply needs to increase the power of his BH opening loop against underspin. Everyone is catching him on this weakness now. It is so predictable and easy. Push long to Harimoto's...

Imo I tried this way before and this doesnt work well in strong BH to BH rallies because he lost his forward lean posture when doing the fade and this is the problem with not adjusting with the body - the body is crucial to ensure consistency and control. Moving the legs allows for far more...

Yes this is the one

Crazy match. The final comeback from SYS was epic to say the least. Miwa nearly got her by super outrageous BH down the line counters that would put her brother to shame (Tomokazu where is your BH these days?!!!). I have a feeling that Miwa will best her brother these days in BH-BH. Tomokazu...

From your diagram, this is clockwise sidespin from your perspective. Notice how if you contact on the right side of the ball it is actually where the strong spin axis is. Around the back of the ball is actually relatively easier to loop than on the right side. On recovery this is because you...

it is a bit technical, but in BH topspin you usually roll over the top of the ball, but if you roll over to the right side of the ball you will fade the ball.

He doesnt know how to FH loop confidently against righty BH serves because he is still going against the spin rather with the spin (ie hook loop it a bit on the right side of the ball). The way he is doing, he will eat the effects of the incoming spin full on. This is why he never had the...

I changed back to 2x inverted again. Antispin BH is effective and is fun for a bit of trolling but I don't really enjoy the playstyle tbh (neither do my opponents). Ultimately TT is about fun and doing cool stuff, and I think for me 2x inverted maximizes the joy I have. It took a bit to adjust...
