i try to stay anonymous here in general coz of my work but I learnt a bit from Craig Bryant and WRM for my hook serves which are probably my bread and butter winner. For all my serves I start with the full grip and either stay in the full grip for hook serves or switch halfway to the Waldner...

I figured out how to serve a very nasty hook serve sideunderspin long deep fast to their FH lol. It is a major point winner once they try to cover their extreme BH short corner due to my super wide angle FH pendulum serves. Since they setup close to their BH corner, they have to do a crossover...

Yes i suspected that they are different, because I tried passively blocking heavy topspins like your video and it will 100% fly out of the table if I do a passive block. I have to do some kind of sidespin chopblock to dissipate the momentum sideways, either left to right or right to left (both...

Imho If your elbow remains high after a BH powerloop followthrough, imo it is quite bad for the rotator cuff. Much better to use the lats to drag the elbow clockwise during the stroke so that it goes to a stable low position close to your right hip, that is where it feels the nicest.

For me this is how I imagine I can play BH anti, aggressively picking placements until i can take over with my FH.

I dont think I can ever block passive tbh. I tried that and it just doesnt work with my setup. I suspect the modern ones you can be a bit more passive and the reversal is probably higher. I do like that I can attack hard with the anti with my current setup when I want to, this fits my idea of...

I feel like OP's setup is super slow and controlled - he did a ball bounce test and it had almost no bounce - mine still has some bounce on it. If I did a chopblock or put my bat there (ie doing nothing as per his video) without any sideways movement to rob momentum, there is no way i can block...

LOL hahaha well.... i would say even in anti, I think technique matters a lot. But for me my inverted BH technique is actually better and more precise than my FH so adjusting to anti was not too bad.

2nd session with anti today. After some practice today i felt a lot more confident with the aggressive attack (almost like a loopkill tbh) of underspin balls with anti. A bit hard to describe but with the straightening of the right leg, you can make it quite strong and fast against underspin...

Im using anti now too haha, it feels so unfair and fun

Wow dude that is really fast af. Could you share your method to do it?

As per topic title.

I think Ma Long is definitely the highest but will leave it to a math wiz

I think against the highest rated player, you can see that pushing his half long BH pendulum service to your wide FH is not really the way to go, you are simply giving away the attack opportunity to him for free. You have to develop other FH receive types (short push, sideswipe, flick, hard long...

I would say you can check your technique against the 7 different spin types (pendulum sideunder, sidetop, reverse pendulum sideunder, sidetop, heavy backspin, no spin, topspin). If you are not up to 70-80% success rates if you know the incoming spin, you havent really mastered it. Each stroke...

Imo there is not that much difference except that against backspin there needs to be a lifting force powered by the quads and glutes, and you have to approach the ball from below it. Finishing position helps but is not the be all end all.

On rubber choice just put something like ox lp or anti haha

I think I can be a super rare style now being someone who uses BH anti for attacking + control. Add in pretty disgusting FH serves and 3rd ball attacks and I think this may indeed bring me to the next level. I dont know why ppl use anti for defence only. It is even better when used for attack...

Damn 240g. Yeah that is gonna bring about some serious hand pain lol... F=ma hence the amount of force to accelerate a bat to a given acceleration is directly proportional to its mass. So compared to someone looping using 180g bat you have to invest 33% higher force to get the same...

He accelerates downwards with a flat bat angle, this has to be sideunder. He would have to accelerate upwards with the elbow lift, or use a more closed angle to produce sidetopspin. But tbh it is not that easy in a real match unless you have some cheat code like LP or anti lol (I tried it the...
