First thing you need to do is figure out tactically and strategically what you want to do with the BH using material coverieng.
Do you want a fast enough shot with little spin to middle or uncomfortable place (to et an error or setup FH)
Do you want to finish the point suddenly?
Do you want to control the ball, extend ralies, and suddenly spring a Fh on a looser ball or suddenly step around?
Do you want to place return of serve and handle spin?
Do you want to loop (like one would do with inverted) ? (Give up on that with MP, you won't get enough spin)
Do you want to hit through an opponent's topspin close to the table?
Do you want to retrieve?
As you can see, a player using MP can do a lot of things. Decide what you want first. Decide where you will be playing - parked at table or off. All the shots are way different on those.
The BH using inverted, as well as the BH using MP share many of the same foundations.
- BE IN POSITION crouched
- Be on time ready
- Get elbow in front enough to the side enough and STABLE
- Avoid using the shoulder joint as a hinge (unless out of position and there is no use)
- Use the lower arm with elbow as hinge and fulcrum
- Be loose
- Firm up only at impact
- Use as short a stroike as it takes - do not use long stroke close to the table, save that for a off the table
- Use of wrist varies for objective, but it helps, even on the fast hits with little spin to keep wrist loose, use a little of it at the end before inpmact and firm it up right at impact.
- You borrow kinetic energy, or create it and ampplify it and deliver it
***** OK, See, I just listed a WHOLE BUNCH of things to do that inverted players ought to be featuring in their BH... and the same things apply to a BH with MP.
Looking at your vid...
- I DO SEE YOU move to position, or try to.
- I DO SEE you NOT trying to use shoulder as a hinge - Good
- I DO SEE you using teh lower arm with elbow as a stable hinge, or mostly stable
- I do SEE you getting elbow into position before shot
- I see you are trying a very long stroke and trying to hit the ball too hard with your arm
......... - this is going to lead you to inconsistency close to the table for your base shot... you need a much shorter stroke
......... - you should use that long stroke only when you are sure to finish... and it would greatly help to take a small step and hit in rythym to get extra energy into the chain
Even with SLOW SLOW SLOW LP in OX !!! Yes, OX, I can hit a faster BH with a shorter stroke. It is about the whip and timing.
What you are doing with your BH to add power is inefficient and not so reliable close to the table
To help you visualize your BH power transfer and stroke better... imagine you are Mohammad Ali, yes, the GREATEST boxer, and you are floating like a butterfly going around your opponent in a circle... and suddenly, you sting 'em with a punch that comes from your abdomen/chest area, goes to the nose and just to the nose, strikes that schnouzer crsuhing it into his grill with your glove on the end of the knuckles or even the top part of the glove to sting 'em like a bee... you firmed up right when you impact that honker, but were totally loose and carefree until then.
That is the style of whip to sting and deliver force.
What you are doing is impacting the ball and carrying your stroke WAY WAY longer and it does nothing... it is showing me you are already firmed up and are trying to use Popeye forearm to power it and trying to spin it like it is inverted... that is better than using the shoulder, but a tight arm and exta long stroke at the table doesn't get it done.
The key is a loose wirst, used some or a little some and firmed up right on impact. It will shorten your stroke considerably and still deliver more power to the ball.
Right now, you are floating like an elaphant and stingling like a goldfish.
