JSH makes some really concise basic comments all about grip. One great thing he says is that one should be more concerned about what a certain grip gives you and makes you lose... there are no perfect solutions, but trade-offs. He shows one BH grip (thumb up on rubber) that Chinese like and is...

Grip pressure and change of grip pressure at impact is game changer.

Another thread reminded me of this good thread, the importance of not moving upper arm and shoulder all over the place to get leverage, spin, and safety or raw speed power.

Everything will of course be mission goal oriented... so you gotta know what your goals are. Luckily, a LOT of us have so many damn glaring deficiencies in our game, just about any structured drill would be a great help. I will toss out ONE bone here. If the developmental objective is to play...

Hi Latej, I am not opening up the arms room or radioing the FDC (Fire Direction Control) to rain down artillery. I remember Timo Boll tilts at his waist to get his upper body and shoulders lower and to the side for leverage, it sure works for him. He isn't finishing off balance, even in his...

There is also a BH short arm stroke small use of wrist shot I am trying to get LDM7 to develop... on that shot there is practically zero follow through. The shot almost stops itself with the big firming at impact. Why? The muscles used to firm up are also making it damned difficult to continue...

Kim Jung Hoon advocates knee bend and waist rotation a little more than you normally see so that the great majority of the waist uncoiling happens before and right at impact, so that only the momentum of the lower arm and bat are the force going forward... so it is pretty easy to slow that down...

Hi Next Level, I agree with your observations that coach Hyo S M sometimes says some things that she does for success, but to her players do differently for success. I remember one of her vids a few years ago that she was discussing how to generate spin and power on a FH topspin opener vs...

Tom hat gesprochen !!

Lazer, you need more patience to have a Korean girlfriend. Are Swedish women easier? Should get stamp for visa? Having said that, although Kim Jung Hoon yaps in many of the vids I post of him, he gets to the root of everything soon enough.

I linked this vid some months or years ago, but this is a real lucid explanation of how to use your power.

YES. So many ways the hookshot BH topspin is useful. It is FUN !!! You can control incoming heavy spin EASILY and put your own nasty spin on it. This "KICK" of the ball after it bounces is also pure nastiness and can trouble opponent if opponent did not see it coming. This "Hookshot" is very...

Hearing what this blade is, upsidedowncarl would KNOW i would be quick to recommend Stiga EARTHQUAKE 2.0 for that sucka... ... but since we are keeping it real, maybe a more modern dynamic soft sponged rubber would work out. Tibhar FX-D is one seriously juicy soft sponged rubber that right out...

I was waiting for LDM7 to make some comments about today here. LDM7 did not have his best day of energy or timing on some shots, but encountered, wrestled with, and achieved understanding and progress about how a shorter compact stroke with firming right at impact can make the ball move out...

To make spin, you need to get the ball into the topsheet and sponge, impact off center, a little or a lot off center, and have fast bat speed measured at the bat, not the arm. You need loose muscles to generate the kinetic energy, you need effective biomechanics to continue and amplify and...

Ask BH-Man over at myTabletennis.net he ought to know.

I got my stuff from Cole same week, he even tossed in a new rubber to try out.

S-Jan might get offended for TB omitting all the Long Pips Champions before a notorious Reverend singlehandedly got ITTF to ban certain pips aspect ratio.... :D

The Austrian secret TT police might be offended by TB omitting Werner Schlager, the last dude to win a world championship in TT who does not sport a Chinese last name...

TB,The Goon Squad might get you evicted from SD for not mentioning Stellan (World Champion with inverted and damn world class with short pips or coached world champions) or that pile of fake national H3 in front of Balboa Park TTC...
