Ok, here is a condensed version of my April 15th Saturday 2 hours training. I basically train for 2 minutes and rest for 5 minutes...
I switch back and forth from forehand and backhand drills because i have tendinitis in my upper and lower back shoulder area on my playing arm side. This helps alleviate the strain from doing too many drills on one side of the table. Your opinions and criticisms welcomed
This is the week before i played with OSP at our friends basement where he got destroyed....OSP, i couldn't help myself.
0:00 Basic Forehand: Felt some slight slippage from the MX-P. In my opinion why many people feel this rubber is for well defined strokes. I like it because it feels a lot like H3 Neo provincial without the hassle of boosting.
1:32 Forehand Loop practice: Trying to rebuild my forehand loop. More friction and less wood. Didn't do adjustments till 9:14 Forehand Loop drill with multiball.
3:36 Basic Backhand: Its improving weekly. If you didn't know i tried short pips for about 2 years and felt the 2 years was not in vain. Try looping with shortpips on your backhand and you will start to find the feel of the ball even better. It has helped my return to smooth inverted backhand. Just gotta kick the habit of blocking the ball in rallies and spin the ball with my wrist.(Coach reminds me of this habit once in a while)
4:51 Backhand Loop multiball drill: One of my better drills and always had a better backhand loop than my forehand loop since i was a kid. I can feel the ball better on my backhand than my forehand.
5:40 Pendulum Serve to backhand loop drill: Its alright...not there yet.
9:14 Forehand Loop multiball drill: Rebuilding my forehand loop takes time and surely but slowly its coming around. Coach tells me more wrist action and open the face more. As well as rotate around the core of my body, left to right and not lunging to the left when i loop. I have a tendency for my body to spring up and need to stop this habit. I also have a tendency since i was a kid to sidespin loop on my forehand. I am trying to attain a more topspin loop. I am starting to see the dip generated by a well looped ball because i see the dip or arcing of the ball into the table. When i review my recorded video, i feel i am getting good spin when my loops are climbing the barrier after the ball lands on the floor. My old looping style will the ball many a times overshoots the table (too much wood,impact force and driving the ball too much).
13:40 Push Practice: This has helped my touch game a lot in all aspects of my game. Don't understand why more people don't practice this more.
17:45 Forehand Flip drill: Its ok, not good yet. In game i am always late to the ball when i try to flip. My fitness level is not there yet.
18:45 2 Backhand to 2 Forehand Loop drill transition drill: One of my worst drills. Fitness is not there and timing are all off.
19:20 Forehand Loop from half chop drill: Drill to feel the ball more and better my timing. Also one of my worst drills and need to keep at it.
20:10 Match Play: Coach(Ex Beijing provincial player) She gives me 7 and i win 3-0. Then she gives me 6 and i win the first 2 games and lose the last 3 because i was out of steam. (She is also a bit tired from running the Easter week junior camp and this was how i won 5 straight games...lol)
21:04 Point of the Day: Lucky backhand kill for a winner.
