Talk with him and find out how he feels during the game and train him mentally aswell. Film him and check what kind of mistakes he makes. Hard to analyse it from the outside.

How can I properly borrow the energy from my opp ball? I might be hitting the ball at the backside and move up to give spin to the ball which makes it go out. But if I do it with a closed angle it's very inconsistent and I hit the edge of the racket or contact the ball too thinly. When I hit...

I got really good against backspin balls (FH TS) but against block or even worst if they have slight topspin even my shots go out. 50% far and 50% slightly over the table. I feel like I dont hit the ball at the same Distance towards my body as those half long backspin balls that I can hit right...

@jk1980 Currently I am hitting the ball more over the table than into the net. I also wanna go max Sponge thickness. But that would make my balls go more out no? I was thinking about switching to a rubber where I can go max thickness but that has a lower throw angle than my G1 on my FH. My...

@jk1980 Thats a very good video from XOLAY. It made a click combined with the video I posted earlier. This one showing a better angle. I have seen huge progress in my shots. I loop with a more open racket now and go all in and understand much better how I need to position myself towards the...

"Racket angle more closed, Hitting the ball more on its the upper side, Squeeze my hand tight right before hitting the ball to not release too much power." Thats what I have been doing (blue screenshot of @jk1980) . My plan is use my hip rotation and just experiment with the stroke till I find...

Thats an interesting point. So what your saying is even with a closed angle you can overshoot. In a game when I overshoot I keep thinking that my racket angle was too open/stroke too upwards so I was thinking I was doing the red lines in your picture. I need to figure out to get a powerful shot...

Gotta admit I barely trained last few weeks let alone pushing. I also tend to rather BH flick half long serves and only push if its very short and even then I just do a short touch back in those cases which I usually have a good feeling for. You can see sometimes I was serving to his forehand...

Thats a good point I will check out during training games. But yeah thats what I have been doing I think. I loop once (usually the first one is good enough) then sometimes I have my weight at the back(when I had to loop a backspin ball) and then i straighten my body to get the body in a neutral...

You like his setup go for his setup. Also test both setups during a practice game. Carbon blades usually feel so much better if you know where the ball is coming to and you just have to focus on your stroke, but "slower" setup is more forgiving if you are not standing correctly but you get less...

First of all thanks for your Feedback. In the game against Robert I was warming up the way you said. Or do you mean something else? (First ~15sec) I also really like my forehand in the Warm up. I don´t know about the shoulder because if I would use my shoulder I would feel it and eventually...

Update: These are the two players I played a couple of months ago again. Felt like I did a better job compared to back then. This time I missed the ball entirely many times. Somehow didn't get the opportunity or maybe because of lack of practice couldn't really use my backhand flip at all...

I feel like they are much better at getting distance away from the table. Compared to them, I am very "static". Like when I have to go back I do a passive shot, while they go back to do an aggressive shot. They also commit more in to the shots, while I play safe and just try to bring it back on...

Yeah a short jump after my stroke has finished could do wonders. Feets has to stay on the ground during the stroke which I dont seem to do many times(lifting my left feet up) also my weight transfer could be more forwards and for that I need more prep time and less going back too much with the...

I guess one way to attack sooner is being faster in ready position after serving. And when the opponent is serving long I just have to tell myself to loop even if I make mistakes and try to remember what went wrong in that shot, so I can adjust for the next serve return. Especially in the first...

I disagree. I don't think I have a good touch. Only against short backspin, I have a good touch. But against sidespin balls. I have a terrible touch because I don't know quite how to touch the ball from the sides to keep it nice and low and not go into the net. Specially if they serve the...

I just heard the softer the rubber the more forgiving is it in a way that you are more confident in doing the strokes properly without being scared that it goes out?? And according to the internet those 2 rubbers are around 45° so just 2° difference but alright I will stick to my current setup...

Why max thickness? Wouldn't that make me play even more scared? But I get the Idea that I will be generating more spin with it. My movement is sluggish because I don´t really move after my stroke and stand still and wait till the ball is on my side again. Like where should I move if I don´t...

so not worth the extra 120€ I would pay? I still like my Blade. I just can't Countertopspin with it properly, it always goes out, but that's my technique I guess. And against better Players, I miss the timing and somehow blame the blade's heaviness.

I am sorry. Both videos are now public! Unfortunately, my phone battery has died against the +250 player. But the other 2 sets were the same, with him attacking more. In the last set my serving game got much better in terms of him pushing or attacking and misjudging the side backspin for...
