Assuming you are not trolling, "just whack it" works well with ppl like Felix Lebrun who started very young, with time they can hone everything. Other ppl, like me, who started this sport having 30+ years already don't have the time, the goal of over-analyzing and over-thinking as you describe...

Will eventually do this when it becomes a second nature, as of right now I have to remind myself to do that amongst other things

I also think Hiroe meant Erika was pressing with position 1 while Ti Long is talking about position 2 ? I use position 2 when I say I press hard with the fingers

I don't , whats the point of making it to resemble european/japanese rubbers ? the whole point is to have something different from these. If you think it is slow it is because you didn't adapt to the chinese style yet

Where did you get this info from ? about pressing with the thumb and index. I'm asking because this is one of the ways I found my backhand to improve alot, it is just a bit tiring because I do it once the point start after my serve or right before my opponent's.

I agree, don't know how it is in other countries but in France and rightly so, the focus is on the kids, the evolution strategy. Most coaches don't even bother with adults, some good analytical coaches exist but it is kinda rare

I gotta say this is a fantastic conversation, alotta of ideas ! it kinda proves my point though: backhand is very subjective. Instead of working with a coach who is going to enforce his/her subjective backhand understading on me, I will rather try a robot+video combo first, that way I can...

This is the revelation I had in my head and one training session (pending video confirmation), everything falls in place when I just like the forehand, try to initiate the movement from the legs and let the arm just follow through to hit at that sweet spot

Totally and thanks for the translation , FZD though doing it differently , right ?

Let me give you an imaginary example where you play a part in it, I actually saw a video of you playing long time ago, it is clear you are more comfortable with your backhand, you are also a tall guy. Now if you were to teach someone shorter with different biomechanics the exact backhand loop...

Totally agree, I now use it more often and I'm less fatigued than before with all the running I used to make with the forehand over the entire table

I'm talking about the ones in Zeio's video. I don't speak Korean but I used auto-translate and he seems to suggest taking the ball from a little bit to the side etc... In contrast to Fan Zhendong

The examples you put are more of counter/block but even those when he is comfortable take it a bit from the side rather than the middle

While I don't agree with evolution not revoultion thing because I learned TT as an adult and I don't have time so the least I could do is try to find shortcuts , I find some truths in it for the backhand. In my experience, the stroke is composed of too many little details, the evolution is just...

I hear you, the title was a bit exagerated because you know its a title. I'm not about the Pros, I mentionned them to maintain my point that they have very different techniques but a sound stroke and steady results, why is that ? my interpretation is because the stroke is subjective and very...

You say that but Youngseik or whatever his name is takes it always from the side and he recovers like no problem. For you it make sense what you have said there and it applies well to you but then we see other bakhands which they don't follow that which is my point

Assuming I don't fully understand the stroke, how to go about to understand it ? I did almost everything and to your point I sacrified my forehand to have full swings on the backhand because I know my ability to adapt on the forehand is higher. I serve now mostly reverse pendulum or backhand to...

hello everyone, I would like to share this thought with you to see if anyone actually agrees. I feel like forehand topspin mechanics are pretty much the same for everyone, like we can distinguish European and Asian styles, Aruna Quadri style and that pretty much it, the basics are common...

They are known to take few sessions before they are fully functional

Been there done that, when you play carbon but you really miss the dwell time and the control you should go for an inner carbon blade and now you get the best of two world, I can't even begin to tell you how I love my innerforce (after having played with ZJK ALC) with a tape on the handle to dim...
