haha i never knew that

i thought i crouch alot but then in the video im barely crouching hahah and i also thought my forehand looked good and my backhand looked bad...but it turns out its the opposite

well thats in my opinion haha ..

EDIT: aww i just finished editing it but the actual match parts got dlted! but i have no more time because i still
have school in 6 hours...i didnt even sleep yet

so i guess ill re-edit the video tomorrow...for now ill just upload
the warmup parts were i drill and stuff...it sucks i spent so much time on editing that

the vid is 1.4gigs so it might take a while to upload to utube

I think you can convert it to a smaller file buddy...then again, I could be wrong

VenusCarboKev · Jan 5, 2012

yeah i think ill do just that

even though the quality will decrease...its better then me waiting more than 5 hours

thanks for the tip

VenusCarboKev · Jan 5, 2012

here it is :

my forehand stroke looks like a fail hahah sorry this is just the warm up one ill upload the game later

azlan · Jan 5, 2012

You looked a lot better when you let it rip. Initially when the pace was slower, you had a bit of a problem keeping the rally going.

There's a simple explanation buddy.

You spin the ball all the time. Not that it is bad, but keeping the ball in play at a slower pace is a bit tricky, unless you're a really good player. You see buddy, just drive the ball and get into rhythm, just like what your dad is doing. But, at a higher tempo, you excel with your spin.

As for the crouching bit, I don't see anything wrong with what you're doing. like your Bh buddy. Thanx for posting. I enjoyed it

Thank You!

yeah just recently my dad's right hand got injured so he couldnt play with it for the whole month of december..so instead he used his left hand....and i had more trouble with his left hand then with his right hand because his left hand was alot slower...well atleast thats what he told me...what do you think would be better...to get the dvd's so i can get better...or get a cheap robot (maybe the robopong 1040) so i can drill for hours and get my stroke better? yeah i used to do drives only when i started but after 5 months of playing i realized my spins were more accurate....but i guess i should practice driving then? ill practice it so that its accurate

but i still have a long way to go to become accurate with my strokes...this table tennis thing isnt quite in my muscle memory yet

EDIT: i just re-read your post...wait so its harder to spin when the ball is slow? ok thanks for the tip! so basically ill only spin when the ball is fast and when its slow ill drive it?Oh and im gonna upload the other video tomorrow because i forgot i have some assignments

hehehe

azlan · Jan 5, 2012

You are absolutely right, with spins, the shots are more accurate, But for warm up purposes, driving the ball is much better. It keeps the ball in play, and will help you to get into the groove for your drills later.

As your thoughts of getting robopong or dvds, don't you think robopong is a heck lot more fun than dvds? hehehe

Dvds are good for your development, no question about that, but you also need a good sparring partner. With a lot of pros, they can place the ball consistently to their feeders, but in your case, your returns might be a little erratic, making your sparring partner having to work harder keeping the ball in play for you.

There's no substitute to multiball feeding, if you don't mind picking the balls off the floor every time. If you do, then robopong is the next best thing, and just watch the tutorials from youtube..

hehehe

VenusCarboKev · Jan 5, 2012

oh i see so the driving is just for drills...but its fine for me to spin in the actual game....but i think even in game ill try drive the ball when its slow because i usually miss when its slow and i try to spin it haha

yes i definitely think the robo pong would be much funner but for some reason i also enjoy watching videos...especially table tennis videos hahah ...but...robo pong it is

i hope to get one soon!

azlan · Jan 5, 2012

Oh yeah buddy, spin all you like!! hehehe just for warming up, driving the ball is better. So, when you start your training drills, you've warmed up properly and you'll be seeing the ball better, and not to mention, you will get your rhythm.

VenusCarboKev · Jan 7, 2012

oh ok thanks! im trying to change my forehand stroke because i saw in the video its so ugly hahaha and its very inaccurate when i play...(sometimes it goes in somtimes it goes to the net and sometimes it goes out) so im paying attention to the pingskills tutorial on fh counterhit and forehand topspin because i never really paid attention to those because i THOUGHT my forehand was good

...and about the robot....i saved up money for a TBS and 1 tenergy and a skyline 3 neo....but when i told my dad about the robot....he searched it and really liked the robo-pong 2050!! so he made a deal with me

i pay half and he pays half

so i wont get a new blade and rubbers for now....but i WILL get a decent robot

even though it only does that 1 spin 1 speed thingy

but i will probably get it by march

cant wait!

azlan · Jan 7, 2012

Ahh, the sometimes it goes long, sometimes it goes into the net conundrum.

It's common with spins initially buddy. Until you get the hang of it, it will keep happening. The trick is to know why these things happen.

You see, not all balls that comes to you have the same rotation speed. You have to make adjustments every time. The easiest is do what I do, hit the ball between 1 and 2 o'clock, with spins. Brush the ball instead of hitting through it. If the ball bounces high, hit it at 1 o'clock, and if it's lower hit it at 2 o'clock.

VenusCarboKev · Jan 7, 2012

ohh ok thanks!...i never knew that it would make such a difference if you hit it at 1-2 o clock since they r just so close.... i guess small milimeters are important huh?

azlan · Jan 8, 2012

Oh yeah buddy, it makes a heck a lot of difference

Initially, focus on the point of contact every time, rather than your placements.

YosuaYosan · Jan 8, 2012

Oh if it hasn't been mentioned I would like to add that in warm up, don't use too much upper arm, use your lower arm for consistency instead

Great initiative Venus for posting the vid. Its always a joy for us to help.
Sir Az is a great mentor you should listen to him.

Matt Hetherington · Jan 8, 2012

I'm afraid you're right, pal. Your serves ARE illegal.

Actually, I had the same problem with my serves. You can also try to hide your shots as much as possible

to reduce the opponent's time for reaction.
