It is misspelled German.
Det habe icke doch schon jesacht=I have already said that.
hoid must be misspelled or slang. I don't know what word it should have been.ja dann lösches hoid=yes then delete hoid?
There is hope. I see you are making a mistake that is very common. You are not starting with the paddle low enough.Tony said:I think it is too late now... there is no hope....
Look at the ball you hit at 1:00. You started your stroke at about the same height as the ball instead of below the ball. Basically you just slapped that ball right into the net. I call this scooping because your stroke is determined by rotation around you shoulder joint so the paddle makes a scooping motion where initially it is moving almost horizontally and forwards.
The Chinese call a loop a 拉球 for a reason. If started with the paddle lower than the ball and coming up from behind it so the tangential friction between the ball and rubber pulls or drags the ball a little higher. It also adds more top spin which is necessary for the Magnus effect.
This is a common mistake. I make it too.
Here is a video where I make the same mistake at about 1:40. I didn't get my paddle low and swing up in a plane. Notice that most of the time I do it right with my FH. You can see that often I am making contact with the ball from below net height so an arc, a loop, is required to land the ball. It is a matter of getting the spin to speed ratio right.

I don't normally play c-pen but the physics doesn't change. I can see I made mistakes like rolling my wrist on FH strokes etc.
I made the video in support of the c-pen thread. I think c-pen is as natural as shake hands. It is just what you get use too. Again, the physics doesn't change. One more thing. I am using a blade and rubbers where the total cost less than $100. You don't need boosting or the fastest blades or rubbers.
As for being big. I would make Der Echte and Tinykin look small. It is a little harder to get below the ball when tall. Bending you knees and bending over a bit helps. Also my practice partner in the video is tall for being Chinese. He is the one that teaches me about China and escorts me around when I am in China but not for years now.
