  2. Please Explain this FH video instruction (especially korean guys)

    His speech is cut off before he finishes his sentence, but he is saying the hand turns like this... (demonstrates a rotation of hand and forearm) This the coach of Park PD you see in all of that dude's vids.
  3. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Spin does win and personally, I like to spin first and ask questions later. Growing one's game to prioritize spin as a first response (when ball isn't high for a pick hit) is a good thing. Spin gives safety... also you learn touch as you grow.

    Just to make sure everyone knows what Patty Cake or Pat a Cake is... basically patting each other's hands softly... and why I use that term where someone should be strongly attacking.
  5. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    I have frequently publicly said that there can be a LOT gained by goofing off. In one way, it is practicing something in a more relaxed manner without pressure. In a 2 year span when SITTA TTC operated, I gained just under 300 ratings points. I basically went to the club 2x a week and mostly...
  6. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    One can make a shorter backswing than the forward swing and still get good spin/pace. It is all in how one relaxes and explodes. I especially like brs' comment about NOT needing much of a backswing and swing vs a high energy incoming ball. You shorten your stroke, go direct to impact point in...

    @beeray1 In the last year or so, Nexy Korea seems to have put back up most, if not all of KJH's old vids when he was sponsored by Stiga, then Tibhar before he retired and opened his own club, first sponsored by Andro, then Joola.

  11. Feedback and suggestions on my TT bats

    You could spend 300,000 INR to purchase 0.04% of blades out there and another 100,000 on a few sets of rubbers to test them out... OR... You could buy what Ma Long uses. Either way, you will be out of a LOT of cash and still be going nowhere good. Keep your second blade, slap sumthing...
  12. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    There are a gazillion Korean ex-pros and current pros who teach amateur players this very thing - Take away power and hit your shot... or a different articulation - Do NOT go for animal power on your shots - avoid excessive power... WHY do Korean pros always say this? It is because a player...
  13. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Hi Wrighty, I could write a book on the things you do not do on FH that make your FH loop lack the spin or pace it needs (and the control at those levels of spin and/or pace). Rather than overanalyze what I would say about your base FH... it makes more sense to first lay down the foundational...
  14. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    YES. That is a part of the progression. It is simply impractical to improve upon something in training and have it immediately translate to increased performance in matches that count. That usually takes 6-12 months to take effect. It can get demoralizing if you do not have a decent mindset and...
  15. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Hi Wrighty, I could and will say a lot of things and hope all will understand the relative and contextual things. Will to attack the attackable balls: I can get on the high horse and question your courage on why you do not attack what should be attacked... but there are reasons for why you...

    Now if I were to say Haraold had a 1GB best of collection of Freddy Quinn on his handy phone then that would be an egregious accusation of being OLDER than Geezer. Still, his Vergangen, Vergessen, Vorbei song can be a nice example of how to forget bad points in table tennis and keep a good...

    Haraold, That record button is right next to the play button for Marmor, Stein und Eisen Bricht :) Of course you be a Drafi Deutscher luvin' dude.
  18. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    I like how Next Level is very careful to ensure what he says has a proper context. I am of a similar mind... and unfortunately, it takes a little time to setup context... that is frustrating to LDM7 when I do that, he wants the answer right away. Sometimes I can provide that if the context is...
  19. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Next Level and I could go on and on and on about serves, we have done so a LOT in the past on TT Daily and everywhere else. NL has said a few things about my serves and confusion in the past. Getting the opponent confused and frustrated is a science and an art. The mental aspect of this is...
