You could also set the robot up for a 3 ball drill... two medium depth medium balls you BH Loop... then set last ball to be slower, higher, and shorter, like landing on the 1st 1/3 to 1/2 of table... you take one step in and crack it BH on the rise somewhere around chest height +/- a few inches...

This is the Korean vid with eng subs where a Korean Pro team coach is training a couple of amateur players in a long series of vids on TT fundamentals. The Koreans call it a BH Push, but it is a short BH forearm flat hit stroke with big firming and a little wrist. This is the shot you would...

Hi Dingyibvs, TTD Member LittleDragonMan7 has been grappling with the very same issue... do a few FH, then a soft higher ball comes shallow to the BH side... he kinda realizes it too late and tries a kill, but is way off time and position. he has been working and improving it (at least seeing...

The BH counter you saw me do tonite was mostly a counter topspin close to the bounce with emphasis on spin and as much pace as I could safely afford. It depended on how well I could read and time the ball. Remember, I was being rushed and may or may not have read the ball well enough.. I was...

Hi LDM7, The BH and FH near the bounce attacking shots are executed totally differently. In a sense, it is easier for me to do this on BH. Why? the impact is closer to my eyes than FH. Easier to see ball and time it for me. I can get a position closer to the table much easier on BH so my...

There are a few ways to look at it. (not being in a good enough position before and at impact) 1 - You did not read the opponent's ball strike good enough. You misjudged the pace, the flight, the landing place, and/or the resultant vector of the ball in 3D and the moment it would arrive where...

LDM7 also got to see what I have always been saying about how to handle deep incoming balls on BH when you are close to table... you go down with the ball (bend knees some, get waist down some) and go up with the ball as it bounces up... strike ball a few cm in front or behind endline... impact...

There is a short arm BH flat hit kind of shot I am hoping LDM7 will develop... easy to do, short stroke, mostly lower arm and a little wrist. Can be done on loose high balls to finish points. Can be done vs balls only a few cm above net for a fast flat shot for pressure... can be against an...

Hi Dingyibvs, I would agree in principle about different ball height can have differing swing planes and impacts. I can also add about whether it is soon after the bounce (when the ball has a lot of vertical energy) or much later. The swing and impact will be different from those. When you...

Tightening the shoulder or arm or hand really stops the whip from developing. Many players who do this stop the energy they created, then try to quickly recreate it with mostly the shoulders. There is simply not enough meat on that bone for that task. A player figuring out how to stay loose is...

Hi LHD, In every shot in TT, you have to see the opponent's impact and discern what he or she did, and to immediately know where the ball is going when with what going in what 3d vector when... that is a lot of data to process ! This allows you to decide what you want to do to the ball, so you...

Still, just one shot situation (the serve) should not dictate what rubber to use for FH just because it is easier to do a serve, one ought to select that FH rubber based on what is easier to perform the majority of shots. (much better criteria for equipment selection)

To answer the OP's question in a typical Der_Echte insolent way, I would say purchase the rubber that is called Matt Hetherington MHTabletennis.com Serve Lessons. Or if you want an even higher level Trouble maker, check out brett clarke youtube channel. Dude is washed up, he only coaches the...

Hi Dingyibvs, I would be inclined to so disagree with your assessment. (and agree with brokenball, except he glaringly omitted GRIP PRESSURE out of his concise analysis) (and agree with Tony who was more general in his comments) Serve is not a low speed thing. To get spin, you really need bat...

Hi Dingyibvs,I really like the VIOLENCE in which you are attempting your shots. You appear to be not as relaxed on BH as you would need to be. It is way too easy for me to say that not being on the table in that moment with you, but it is what I see.

Couple questions. WHO gets to determine who is an expert? Does this EXPERT actually know what is going on? Does this EXPERT see why the kid is doing for shots and knows what is actually easier to make the shots the kid does? Does the EXPERT actually have his head stuck up his azz? This...

LDM7 got a few stories to tell from Church TT night... and likely a few more tomorrow. LDM7 level up speed is picking up. Here he comes... here comes Speed Racer... in that powerful Mach 5. Go Speed Racer, Go.

There is also a totally unknown Korean TT force I will help unleash and you gunna like every damn second of the action. These Korean/American gunna do a Missouri number on the TT world and show what they got on the table and off. it gunna be some lifelong friend action like TTD never saw.

@VictorMoraga PLEASE do so and help LDM7 get into one of Stellan's camps. maybe one day real damn soon both of us will be in LA for TT, Korean BBQ, and the MOST wild TT time you have ever witnessed sight unseen. The after TT Korean translation action will be even fiercer, I speak me sum Korean...

I just LOVE the argument/counterpoint discussion GEEK-OUT over TT stuff. This is truly the bain of free speech. Still, in real life, it is about making spin to win and placing the ball where they are not or where do not expect it. An art and science totally worth discussing too. Some day real...
