It is just the basic structure. A loop structure must be highly flexible in order to adapt to the enormous variation of incoming balls. For starters one must have the flexibility to lift the heaviest backspin or to press down / neutralise the heavy incoming topspin and what tricks are there to...

Cringe lol

Not that right, just slightly more on the right side. Yes it will go out to the BH if you hit it perpendicularly. However the stroke trajectory of a hook loop has a curve to it, so if you curve it more towards the right (even when contacting it slightly on the right side), you can even aim to...

Kudos to WTT for finally giving us a good angle to watch!!!!!!

Black shirt guy repeatedly failed to loop red shirt guy's BH pendulum serve because he was trying to contact on right side ie hook loop it which is basically the hardest way to loop that particular sidespin archetype (regardless of it being sidetop or sideunder).

Tip to loop heavy sideunder, sidetop services and stop being afraid of them. So the idea is to go with the sidespin and not against it. What that means is: if the ball is spinning clockwise, hit it in a way to continue spinning it clockwise and so forth. For eg with righty vs righty. FH...

Lefty BH pendulum has same type of spin as righty FH pendulum. So if he is terrible against lefty BH pendulum to his BH, most likely he will also be terrible against righty FH pendulum to his BH. You are correct in your interpretation for the most part. It is all about exploiting their...

Guy in red (lefty) is good at receiving BH pendulum type sidespin with his FH, but does he know how to receive FH pendulum type sidespin serves from a righty? Also it appears that his half long loop for balls exiting the sides of the table (on FH side) is weak. Also his BH attack seems weak too...

Wow Anton sent Lin Yun Ju out! Didnt expect this one...

Wow why is this guy not in WTT? The footwork, FH and even BH level is extremely high. He moves real fast and even hits very strongly with his BH pips (truly using body power, unlike some other European pips players). I think he can upset some high ranked players with this.

I suspect Gucchy is actually giving a chance to whoever appears on his channel to shine and intentionally does not try to play to win. Tbh this is the worst strategy against LP, almost everything he is doing is precisely what not to do, especially giving short underspin balls to the LP player...

Sad but true... applies even in music. Only the top 0.1% get to eat. Way easier just to study hard and get a high pay STEM job...

To be fair there are a lot of unathletic inverted players who also just push with heavy af spin, and have impenetrable blocks and can just outlast you with a lazy af game just standing there lol. I guess the real difference is that with pips, you can have quite braindead serve receives and it...

Been talking about how effective the fake loop is for a long time and was pleasantly surprised to see a video on it! I think Seth does the explanation really well (tactics etc), but his no spin loop is not 'evil' enough because it is quite obvious he hit it with an open racket angle and just...

For me i had much better success against pips once I learnt how to serve without sidespin (ie the heavy under/no spin/mild topspin system). It took me a while to learn and incorporate it, but Im happy with what I learnt as it added an extra dimension to my game. As a good server i didnt...

For me the gold takeaway is how to kill incoming topspin (the dead pan block) and he definitely mentioned pros keeping on varying between the kick block (ie topspin block) and this dead pan block in order to try to throw the opponent off during topspin rallies. The method of bat moving backwards...

If you watch some Quanshibao videos, they do explain a lot of very important details which a lot of coaches dont do unfortunately. For eg the method of looping pendulum (clockwise) sideunder and sidetop vs reverse pendulum (anticlockwise) sideunder and sidetop for BH and FH are quite different...

I actually trained a bit of using BH rubber for a FH stroke with shakehand as I was attempting to invent a FH chiquita with the BH rubber. It works but it's a damn difficult stroke to time in 3d space against many different balls and also the arm movement is contorted and awkward af, similar to...

If you want to improve the grip, the middle finger should rest on the rubber, and the thumb should also rest on the rubber separate from the index finger. Then it might work as a solid grip, but there are some glaring weaknesses because the FH is almost forced to be hooked. You almost cannot...
