Forget about counter-looping for now (that's advance level stuff, not even intermediate level), focus on control, consistency and footwork. Learn to move in and out. At lower levels, nobody can spin the ball really well or add power to their shots so it's more rewarding to stay close to the...

@Zezima Wow, you really have improved. Great job man! I've watched a lot of your videos (especially the older ones) and I'm just going to mention a few things that you seem to repeat from back then till now. 1) Push: For some reason you really hate to push, you mainly do a very safe soft...

It doesn't happen very often but if I go my club during leisure hours, I usually only play backhand to their preferred side but I play BH everywhere (even on my FH side) and my main goal is to keep the ball alive, not to score on them. It's great for footwork, it's good for backhand control and...

@imbadatlooping If you do decide to switch, then you have to stick with it or it will mess up your game. Personally, I've only played with Chinese rubbers on my FH. I'd say, 70% of the technique comes from your lower body and foot work so learning how to brush loop is only 30% and that's the...

For me, the most important part of opening up a backspin is the height. Doesn't matter how much spin or speed you put on your open up topspin, if you open it up too high, it will be hard countered regardless. Everything else comes after this, speed, spin, placement. Keep the height low to...

I don't know where you've heard that BS is better left unboosted. As a matter of fact, if you don't want to boost then you should stick with OS, BS is meant to be boosted. If you play with BS unboosted and you feel it's plenty fast then you're making a huge compromise somewhere in your game and...

NH3 40H is a serious rubber and using it will delay your progress, especially if you use it unboosted. First, remember that NH3 rubbers are meant to be boosted and that's not me saying it, it's Chinese national players such as Zhang Jike and Fang Bo saying it. Second, 40H is a really hard...

Man, I'm usually on your side but the heck you going on about? From a 17 min amazing vid, you've pickup a line (which is not even freaking relevant to the content of the video) and are grinding the poster who is among a few people who actually post informative content and happens to be a...

I once heard from someone who had played against Felix that to him, Felix seemed in position all the times. He said because he stays close to the table, he's always in place and it limits the other players attacking options. The other thing he mentioned was that Felix shots are not telegraphed...

The only way to increase viewership for TT is to simplify the game it for general audience and add more focus on rallies. IMO, serves should be similar to tennis (one to each side) and the first bounce on the receiver's side should be after the middle of the table to improve the flow. Average...

WCQ is really off his game, but the very same thing did in fact happen to Ma Long as well, he got beat by 14 year old Harimoto back in 2018.

I think you haven't read all the comments yet, like the one you just replied to above. People are making it like this kid is an average player. "Faraji is not exactly a top junior even by non-Asian standards." "it's one of those random flukes that happen sometimes." " the fact that a World #1...

Guys, you make it sound like this kid is an average high school player. He's freaking RANKED NUMBER ONE in the world at his age bracket (under 15), just cause we haven't heard of him, doesn't mean he's an average player. WCQ is having a really bad time, but you gotta give credit where it's due...

So let me get this straight, because there are a few players, that you can count in one hand, in the entire world whom Felix hasn't managed to beat yet and your idea is to completely change his playing style??? SOLID PLAN.

Bought and received my Viscaria from Catenaccio. Everything was smooth with super fast delivery, highly recommended. Thanks Catenaccio!

You're not wrong, but that's a counter loop. When you need to counter loop close to the table or when there's a lot of topspin on the ball, you need to hit and brush the very top of the ball so that's why you end up with that semi-ellipse motion.

Sanwei Fextra 7 (discontinued, but you can still find it on AliExpress) or Yinhe Uranus 2.

Just be patient, a friend of mine broke his knee during competition and he couldn't play TT for a whole year. And when he started playing again, he just played for fun for about 6 months but now he's even better than he was cause during those 6 months, he focused on simple stuff that doesn't...
