A day with Xu Xin

I agree I read that when you're able to use both of your hand you're more determined, more adaptable to new situation and and more apt to handle problems without giving up. That's why they force him to use both hand like Ma Long!

Ma Long use both to? I've heard this theory before aswell, to use your non playing arm on every day activities.. Meant to be good for neuro system ect... I tried for a week. I need to start it again. One of hardest tasks is brushing your teeth with opposite hand

Yes I saw Ma Long using his left hand during training. And I think it's good for neuro system like you said, cause I use both my hand (accident when I was younger) and sometimes I'm more confident when I play!!

yes he does he said it in an interview. for example using the left hand for his notebook

 

[Rhydian]

did you noticed, that he is doing every important things with his right hand and not with his left? eating. insert keycard. glue his rubber and blade. using the remote control

You got the spot!! I think it increases coordination and such stuff
I know a player who is righthander but plays with the left hand on a very good level!!
Amazing!!
As I am a kids coach, when we play games, I usually play with my left hand, so I can improve haha ^^
Nice video


Edit: That thing with the fingernails is crazy and these dubble rope jumps, I can do them too ;D

Great!! this is something i would share to my chinese friends! STIGA makes a lot of docu stuff I love it! they should have put subtitles though.. I didn't like the dub..
I hope Butterfly would make some too for Zhang Jike and Liu Shiwen!

yeah i tried it yesterday for a solid hour its not that easy. you really have to hit your nails. if the ball touch just a little bit of your skin .... baaaaaaang the secret is, to use just four fingers. dont use the little one! because you have to do a funnel, where the ball rotates in. but if you also try to use the little finger, you are not able to do a good funnel figure and the ball will jump away did you get it?
hope that google translator does not kid me. stupid special words

 

[Anders]

yeah, I use to do that fingernail thing in tight matches so that I can show my opponent I'm calm and not afraid of him

1:41-43 astonished me

 

[dici]

You're right! I hadn't noticed it xD Maybe he was forced to be a lefty?

He is natural right handed. He was forced to use left hand to play TT by coach during early childhood, because they found that his left hand is stronger than right hand. Sound strange right?

Indeed, you bent your fingertips slightly inward, to make a 'bowl-like' shape with your nails being the inside of the 'bowl', where the ball can fit in and spin

Ah awesome! I just found a cool article about various studies on neurons ... if you go down the page just before half way there is a brain exercise called 'A Brain Exercise You Can Do Right Now'.. it suggests to use your mouse with your opposite hand, brush teeth with opposite hand ect.. Very interesting.. http://www.fi.edu/learn/brain/exercise.html

That is true, but in return he gets a life without work after he is somewhere between 30-40. That's with any professional sports player. You 'sacrifice' the first part of your life, but you don't have to work in the second part if you do it well

 

[nabilatouni]

Yeah but it's still hard I mean they're young they need to get and meet friends, to have a life outside... And sometimes, they can see their family once a year just for one day, that's sad
