You just have to train 10,000 hrs!

Countersmash the smash, ala He Zhi Wen style. Just be faster xD

The other major problem is that usually multiball has way lower sidespin content than a serve receive, especially off pendulum serves. If the guy wants to loop the 3rd ball well he needs to train against sideunder of the same type, not just underspin balls. Or learn how to serve without sidespin.

Lind's serve is really spinny, they recorded 3500+rpm on his short serve which is just crazy considering that a lot of full blown loops are only about 6000-7000rpm.

Pretty funny that everyone is hiding their serve against WCQ. Lind vs WCQ was pretty much who can hide the serve better lmao. Once WCQ doesnt have his serve advantage, his strength in the other parts of the game is way below FZD or Ma Long. Now that LSD is the hot upcoming star, his position...

The biggest problem with pips both sides is that pips serve is a lot less threatening than inverted. Idesawa is a pro and also a lefty and definitely has put in a huge amount of work in her serve. If you have inverted FH it allows you to really gain advantage with your serve, but still being...

Watched a bit more. So there is a technical problem with the BH because it's the upper body (the entire upper body not just one part) doesn't carry the ball - it's quite arm driven. This is also why you missed quite a bit of BH loops - you're not really powering the loop directly with the legs...

I watched just a bit and it seems like you were very aggressive in looping this time which worked really well as you can see. Ines only serves BH pendulum or FH tomahawk which is pretty much the same sidespin archetype. She serves it a lot to your short FH or half long which is the hardest...

Basically there are just 7 types of spin in TT. Heavy under, no spin, topspin, clockwise sideunder/sidetop, anticlockwise sideunder/sidetop. Once you know what to do precisely for each of these 7 types of ball, your success rates will skyrocket. Dont just mentally treat every ball as an incoming...

There is a recovery and quality issue in your serve because you dont use weight transfer and hip rotation well. Similar to loops, it is required for high level service. So for FH serves, start with weight on left foot, then use the transfer from left foot to right foot to throw the ball up...

Fang Yinchi recently played a few challenge matches against some very high level amateurs. 1 was double inverted, the other was BH anti FH inverted. He absolutely destroyed the double inverted player but actually visibly struggled a bit with the anti player because the anti balls were weird...

Spin helps to land balls on the table which is way more important...

Exactly. To be honest, the serve/receive game in doubles have become super stale - where the meta is just short heavy backspin / no spin serves, then usually some short push battle and then transitioning into loop to loop. There is no opportunity to bring in the wide variety of serve/receive...

The best combo imo is pips BH + inverted FH. Use inverted FH to serve, pips to disgust opponents and then inverted finish off weaker balls. It can be incredibly strong. Even at pro level you can see this style being employed quite successfully in the women's game.

Spin is more important...

Even within Chinese internet. ZJK teaches his students to learn how to brush first. Then add power. Whereas Fang Bo's camp teaches to first find the feeling to generate a solid hit (ie body power first), then add the spin later via different exercises. Then some other exercises to combine the...

I also have a different idea of building a stroke. Although the bigger muscles come first in terms of force generation, the smaller muscles are the final force generators which directly control what goes into the ball. Imo elbow and finger/wrist use must come first. For me focusing on body...

I would probably add that finger use is also a very important step. The 2 finger lever arm concept to brush the ball from Ti Long really transformed my game because it really improved the spin quality i could get, especially in tough situations where i am not completely in position. Also you can...

To be honest, in club matches it is not necessary to follow ITTF laws. You can always play doubles with these new rules as you like...

I agree, the diagonal service rule seems kinda stupid imo. So everyone is doing heavy backspin / no spin variation serves and it is super boring to watch. Why not just throw the gates wide open and allow service to any corner the server likes.
