I cant believe this Hinoki blade, this somehow makes Flextra look fast and spinny??!! This is kinda a feat lol...

Yes... but even in this video you can see he makes a lot more errors with his BH than his FH. If you watch really good BH players like Fan Zhendong and ZJK they barely make any errors in training even when they loop with very high quality.

But with the old ball, sideswipes like this just invites the spinny opening loop which was probably very scary to deal with due to the spin quality.

Basically for all techniques (loops, pushes, sideswipes, flicks, etc...) you need to know exactly what to do and how to vary your technique against all 7 types of spin (pendulum sideunder, sidetop, reverse pendulum sideunder, sidetop, pure backspin, no spin, topspin). And then you simply select...

With BH the new left to right sideswipe(strawberry like?) technique allows you to deal with some ambiguity in the pendulum serve spin by going against the spin and produce a very spinny outgoing ball that is long, but not so easy to attack strongly due to the sidespin generated. I noticed Sun...

I have a hack recently. I realised that a lot of people don't really go into detail in spin reading, not just off the receive but on all balls. Mostly due to laziness. And they always try to use one contact method to deal with all types of spins. And when they miss, they blame their technique or...

I want to point out that Otto looped to produce strong side backspin a few times in his matches. For those who still dont believe that it is possible :)

Check out the amount of spin and speed they generate with such little input power from the body (comparatively speaking), if they did those strokes with the new ball it would be slow af and not even that spinny, and thus very vulnerable.

You can watch some Kong Linghui matches. He uses BH receive (particularly simple pushes or traditional flips) and it is very effective still.

Yeah... Emil probably is not suited to chopping or trained a lot on it. At this point LP OX almost seems better. Surprised that Otto lost as he is an international player!

Yes if you do a big arm backswing and swing at a half long ball, if it turns out short you will hurt your hand big time. Jang Woojin and Kristian Karlsson both have done that and suffered very bad injuries. It is very important to first assume it is short, keep your hand high and follow the...

The other thing is that if you have any kind of arm backswing you will struggle af against these length variations...because once you swing your arm backwards you cannot hope to get back to a push position. But if I dont do arm backswing (elbow still close to body, hand high) and wait for the...

Divide the table into half (in terms of length). Anything that lands within first half is likely short and if it lands within second half is likely long. This is not necessarily correct though, it depends on the spin of the ball, but imo it is about right.

Just get a box of balls and a ball picker - saves you a lot of time.

That is true that you can hide the racket until just before contact. But hiding the ball makes it such that it is a lot more difficult to track the ball movement as you do lose some useful visual information.

After the recent World Cup - the short answer is no one lol.

No, it was a tactical error. Lin was just doing all unforced errors on trying too fast flat loopkill type shots and not putting enough spin in his shots and Ma Long was just goading him into making more of those. And finally LGY started doubting his strokes, started thin brushing and didn't even...

Yes, those BH serves were a trap. They look so simple - even I was reading the spin on them easily. But they are all placed in hard to attack trajectories and placements. LGY tried to directly chiquita kill those "disrespectful simple serves" and ended up making 1001 mistakes on them because he...

LGY played stupid during the 4th set and after that. It was pretty simple, do a slow spinny chiquita and then play the rallies out, put more spin to ensure consistency. No way Ma Long is stronger in the topspin rally - there was no reason to attempt so many of those loopkills which were only...

This is why this Olympic system of only having 2 singles players from each association is stupid af. Only in TT you have multiple top 10 players not allowed to participate in the Olympics simply due to association limits. Just let 5 players go FFS!
