HI TTD,
Here is a vid form a National Level TT Tourney way down in GooMi Korea...
Macho Man Korean Dude (Big power is not enough power) vs the typical Korean top level female play style (Punch everything and damn the spin)
Neither of these players are even remotely interested in serving short... they both want a long serve to get a ball without heavy spin and want to bang away like gang-busters.
Dude looks like he wants to show the crowd his way abover average BH topspin, that actually has topspin. Dude just wan'ts to bang fast BH Loops with decent spin, but almost always right at her BH (cross table is safer to land ball, but vs her, is that safe?). Dude sticking to his story like kid caught with the candy. Dude playing kinda arrogant and not making ajustments. Later in match, some wireless radio signal penetrated the 2nd layer of hiz thick skull and he started to fish/lob and try to get into FH to FH open rallies (which the lady can prety much only bang it if high or play soft if ball is low - she has not real FH Loop for a rally)
Lady is very precise, has a simple game plan, and keps faith. She serves long deep into BH corner, INVITES dude to open up big to her BH, and she hammer punches the loop... sometimes there is a few BH each, but dude is clearly not having an advantage in these kinds of rallies. He isn't as consistent as the lady in those, even if he packs more spin into his fast loop vs her fast BH punch shot.
The key to defeating this lady is SLOW, HEAVY TOPSPIN. Problem is, she doesn't really give him much a chance with those kinds of serves... maybe dude could have choped those with enough spin low enough to discourage her flat hit.. that might have given him more chances on her serve to open heavy and slow. He also could have stepped around BH corner to use his FH and slow it down... A Div 1 natl player usually has the footwork, but he is content to try to abng it out with her.
Sometimes his power wins, sometimes it gets him in trouble. One other adjustment he got right is to punch it (or even hit is soft and low enough) suddenly down FH line and make her use a FH... she had no real spinny loop to write home about... so she makes a mistake, or gives an easier ball to him, or the rally is now just FH to FH... which dude is a WAY better position to win the point. Dude chos-off like he is in the club playing for beer and chickens.
I really cannot get over 2 each Div 1 Natl level players in hte QUARTER FINALS of a Natl Tourney not using a short serve... even 1/10 the time to make their deep serves effective.
I played vs many skilled lady players of this style in Korea... you slow the ball down and make it heavy and they are handcuffed. You serve well (Thank you for a good heavy underspin short and deep with the knuckle bal mixed in for LULZ) and make your attack from close to table you are in command. This dude played brain dead most of match and you gotta watch it to the end to see if testosterone or another hormone prevailed in the 5th set.
The guy has an advanced BH many Korean amateur players do not have and I was surprised to see only Div 4 serves. (Almost NO ONE in Div 4 can serve short even if you offered free chicken for a year) This Lady's BH punch is outstanding for both consistency, placement, and trouble to opponent. Much higher BH than most Div 1 natl level players.
