Ironically, at 3:23, she talks about how a certain flip technique will make your arm hurt. (she demonstrates how the pros do it with big pre-loading.

The basic banana is what I show first, then straight flip, and what I call hybrid which is in between. There are advantages to each and trade offs. Haruka, the girl in the vid is showing a way to squeeze the BH for a flip, she starts a 3:00 and gets some more at 3:13, then spends the rest of...

Hi Big D, You shouldn't be feeling the shoulder on a banana flip... ... for lower power it is a squeeze with the fingers blade tip down striking back of the ball... elbow to side and front of ball. Very easy on body, but not a lot of power given to ball... but very consistent shot. Oh, and...

Hahahahahhhh, You are beginning to see why I can handle and LIKE 110-120 gram blades. :D

Leave them with Sergey or Coach Greg if you are there Tues, my flight will be too late.

Gunna be back in Sac next wek and pick up three more sets of handles for my PPP blade... a 2200-2300 player I met in Boston loved my PPP and the custom handles, I gave him CC Bladecraft vcard... he he gets sum stuff from Chase. Those custom handles really help you whit and move that bat !

9.5 of definitions in the 2023 ITTF Handbook allow a player to present the ball, hold it STATIONARY, then move to another location behind endline and present/serve. Key word is stationary. When the Service motion is started... it is started. The accepted interpretation of when a serve begins is...

Yes, Genau. This is EXACTLY what I say about adult learners needing to not perform all key steps at once and isolate, improve, re-integrate. It is so difficult for adult learners to do everything at once in the development phases... @dingyibvs coach did a really good move to remove those steps...

@turbozed ask @dingyibvs in your PM exactly how his coach broke down the biomechanics of the shot and the key points... ... like how he made a training plan for Big D to get there, especially how he isolated things (like use little to no wirst at first to develop the more important thing -...

Hi @turbozed So many different BH shots with their own challenges and effective ways to hit them. No single situation dictates a singular response. Even though hitting can benefit from a big firming at impact, their can also be hitting with less grip... sometimes like when ball got too low and...

Thanks for the good words, Big D @dingyibvs You may have a chance to run into me more often. If I ever show you something, run it by your coach and get more insight. When I get back from Boston in a few days, on Fri PM and Sat AM I am going to be in the San Ramon area for a few hrs each week...

This is a BH vs a medium energy ball... and these balls are coming in kinda high. You can always make an argument for more spin on the BH shot, but if ball is high, hitting is a good safe pressure shot. If you are firming real hard right at impact, you are not gunna have a big follow...

lodro, you gunna get that Goon Squad after you for even thinking it. :D

You be talking about ole Yosemite Sam 6-gun tootin bat wielding pips FH counter attack you BH... he gets zero advantage using the stuff, he uses it to adhere hiz rubbers, would pass any enez test next day... and we have pro players who glue clean with water glue fail enez, because factory glue...

I wanna see everyone high toss serve and stroke their cheek as ball reaches apex like Xiaona Shan...

Some glues are stronger than others, so some may come off soon, especially if the top veneer of the blade is naturally smooth, or even worse, was varnished. A few light scratching with course sandpaper will make it way easier for the same glue to make good adhesion. Of course, if you are bold...

Hi Jeff, the old PH gent serves illegally and does not give you any time to properly see what is going on. He raises his hand with the ball and drops it... sometimes a short 6 cm toss, but alway less than 15 cm high toss. This ensures the ball is pretty much stationary zero energy when he...

Everyone should ask Sergey the "Tsos" who would settle the matter one one minute flat.

Yes, HaggisV runs OOAK like a clock. Check out hiz TT forum, you might see me there with some post count too. (and I am not a primary pips out player)
