I used to try doing it your way, but against higher spin quality and variation it just doesnt work well. Going with the sidespin is the much easier way. In terms of placement you can always aim it more to the left if you wanna make it go more left.

Dont wanna jinx Ma Long but I have a feeling he can win this championship...

1. Heavily speed glued FH Hurricane 3 rubber 2. Baked true frictionless LP/anti on BH 3. No toss, hidden serves Is this the fastest way to win? xD

Exactly. And especially complaining about other ppl cheating when you yourself are cheating, is a pretty hypocritical thing to do. But morality is not really something that is well rewarded in sports. This is why imo Boll complaining about LSD serves, or Truls complaining about WCQ serves is...

LSD happens to win more, and of course more ppl complain when they lose vs when they win. Someone who wins or is expected to win against Anders Lind is not gonna complain too much about his serves. It's like complaining to the old grandpa whom you beat 11-3, that his no toss serves are...

Not removing free arm is completely illegal according to rules too. Just because his opponent could actually guess it based on trajectory or other things like sound, or by reducing error rates by delaying the receive timing or going for less aggressive receives, doesnt mean it is any less worse...

It is stupid to have players 'self police' the hidden serves or borderline hidden serves. This kind of nonsense has been poisoning TT for a long af time. Really it needs Hawkeye and a challenge system.

Anders Lind actually doesnt remove his free arm until it is super late. A bit like how Noshad serves. It is pretty much pot meet kettle these days....

temptation is just too big to not use hidden serves or borderline hidden serves unfortunately.... Lind himself is illegal serving most of the time anyway lmao

Practiced a bit after a long break from TT. I was trying out the PechPong idea about going backwards on the followthrough to give a soft dead block. And it works lol. So with the paddle you can go with your normal clockwise BH topspin stroke but when that circle goes backwards at the end you...

On centre of gravity, you pretty much lower it by bending at the hips. You do that beautifully for your serve movement, just need to get into that position when you prepare to do FH loop. Currently you have no forward lean at the hips when you do the FH loop. But ngl it is physically more...

I think it looks like a lack of commitment to loop all of his long serves. It was not really a technique issue but you were getting attacked all the time and under defence which is a bad situation to be in. You were sort of trying to touch or control it back, but this will only provide him with...

Damn Anders Lind's serve/receive game looks nasty af, some of those balls were curving like mad. Cant really blame Kao for missing those shots, it is not something he would have trained for. This is why it really pays off in TT to be weird lol

Vis is definitely a different animal than other blades. You're completely right that you cannot afford to have 'low acceleration' otherwise your strokes will be quite flat and you don't have the spin required. It is quite easy to play hard and flat with Viscaria because of how fast the ball...

For me personally, there is nothing that quality shadow practice cannot fix. But it has to be high quality - you have to really imagine it. I do a lot of shadow practice even at the table. It works a lot better to have it nailed before even going to the table. And you just have to try the new...

Yep pretty much. It is a bit of a 'cheat' i use to increase my loop landing rates.

One thing a lot of ppl dont give credit enough is Ma Long's understanding of spin. It was demonstrated some time ago when WCQ and LJK lost to Hou Yingchao, ML later demolished Hou Yingchao (i think maybe 11-3 or sth), reading the spin so effortlessly and barely making any unforced errors when...

Not just that, he should try pushing on the left side of the ball or on the right side of the ball during multiball, and the opponent needs to adjust accordingly. TensorBH is giving straight backspin which almost never happens in his partner's matches because he never serves straight backspin...

Yes you can brute force loop most balls on the back, it is just not as error tolerant compared to riding the sidespin. Even against pure backspin balls without much sidespin component, it feels a lot better to contact it a bit more on the side to increase dwell time and avoid the strong spin...

All of the sidespin related videos are in Chinese unfortunately. Yes it is from your perspective. If opponent does a normal BH push against your FH pendulum it will rotate clockwise (it will curve towards your left). If they are BH sideswiping or fading the push or if they touch the ball on...
