stroke

I like Liang Jingkun. He always seems to be in trouble when playing against top players and lesser players;). But he has a way of playing unconventional strokes especially when in trouble In this match vs Cai Wei, watch the 5th game where he brings out a few Waldner-nesque stroke-play when...

Hi all! I wonder if a stroke is more influenced by the racket or by the rubber. In other words, it is faster with a fast racket and not so fast rubber or the way around? Same question if more controlled with a racket with high control and a low control rubber or the way around?

I want to know if there is a complete list of where you should hit the ball depending for FH/BH loops, drives, smashes, flicks, pushes etc. Does where you hit the ball change depending on the type of spin you are receiving? I want to know!

Hi all, I finally decided to make a post on this awsome website/community!! I have some questions about the usage of the wrist when it comes to forehand loop... How important is the grip and how you move your wrist on impact?! As a former hardcore crossfiter bought my wrists joints are ...Well...

Hey, I just watched this video recently: Which is about changing your topspin stroke for the 40+ ball. The chinese top coach talks about changing the snap from "inward, to more outward". But I do not get it, anyone care to explain? Probably pointing the elbow more forward, but I am not sure.

Hi all, I've recently bought a Stiga Clipper(Master handle, 88 grams). I bought it after a search on the internet, and all people said it was a good blade. I thought it was a good option to me, because I was searching for: - Better stability close to the table(easier blocks and counter...

Kim Jung Hoon made himself a club south of Seoul and has a lot of new instructional vids that have a LOT of REALLY GOOD STUFF for us amatures to learn from... just like his tak9.com vids. I select one of them with a lot of nuggets -the FH stroke. KJH is simply talking about very basic...

Hey laistrogian, I thought this might be useful and rather than continuing it in the other thread, I thought I would make a new thread to help you and anyone else who wants to improve their basic strokes and fundamentals. What got me thinking about this was the video you posted. I am not going...

Almost every modern defender has a stroke they use on their forehand side where they use a very short stroke and seem to basically block or scoop a heavy topspin shot when they are back from the table. Not a full swing loop, and it seems they are just making a safe shot back on the table. Anyone...
