Our new chinese coach learn us how to move. I have always learned to move first then hit, But this is to slow he means. Only for low level players.
So yesterday i learned how to move and hit at the same time with forehand and backhand. We also Did the crosstep with backhand again! Asked if anyone Did it with the backhand. He Said Xu xin Did it. Also learned a new way to move around and play fh from the bh.
I have always understood that the asians focus more than us o men footwork But i find it interesting that i have not heard about this and i have played for over 20 years.
Have anyone else heard about this?
Would like to explain for you But hard to Do in text. I have not either mastered it.

I'm being taught some steps to move together while hitting yes. not in every situation but in some situations
To be honest TTEDGE always teaches to backswing while moving and focuses on footwork which you use when you don't know where the ball is going so mostly cross and semi cross footwork.
I don't think I get what you're saying here. If I incorporate the backswing in my movement, I'm already committed to a particular hitting wing, at least, that's what I think.
And that's why I (hauling about a degenerate near-corpse) have been focusing on a fluid movement, in which taking position, hitting the ball and returning to neutrality (as far as possible) are one. The key thing there is going neutral, well, in practices it's taking position without too much of a bias at best in most cases; with low stance, forward balance, and the bat raised.
All this happens on a hop by hop basis. When serving, ball throw coincides with a left foot stepout; immediately after ball contact, explosive left foot push to neutral position. When receiving, start hopping into neutral following the server tightly. Then in either case, hop to strike position, and from the strike reset and hop back towards neutral simultaneously, then hop towards strike again. For me, the backswing (if any) takes place on the second hop (unless I have to crossover towards striking position, in which case the backswing is part of the second stage of the two-staged crossover step).
(I actually do this when fit and focused, and will have to accept that I will not be able to keep this going for multiple successive matches without a little recovery time inbetween. Getting old sucks.)
Is preparing the stroke on the second hop (out of neutral) what you mean?
With cross do you mean crossstep? This was not only crossstep. Crossstep i think you do not you so often, only when you need to move really far. I also do not understand what you mean with a semicross.
I can try to film it in the future if i get the hang of it. Like i said it was completely new to me. Have never heard or seen it before. But is almost like when you do the shuffle step or what it is called but with some alterations. Do not think europeans move the way he teached us, but maybe i see it and we do it but we do not know it.
I searched for youtube and did find chinese footwork that they showed footwork of the chinese at a danish training camp, but the stuff our coach showed us they did not show in the video.
How Do you want to play with the long pimple? Close or far away from the table?
Chop chop loop 2-3m away from the table. That's my vision. It really depends on the opponent though. The last match was the most entertaining match I've ever played as he looped into my FH as he was scared of the LP. Pretty much every point was FH loop to FH loop.
This is proably one of the hardest ways to play tabletennis i think. Difficult and takes alot of energy. How is your footwork? You need to move really well if you want to play like this.
I Do not know the long pimples you are using now But i think you should try a long pimple with sponge and with grip so you can create your own spin. A long pimple created to pushblock with Will not work aswell further away from the table. But Gustaf Ericson i think are using a long pimple more for pushblocking and he plays a bit away from the table.
I also think you should try a slow tacky china rubber so you learn how to chop with the forehand aswell. Then in the future you can change to something faster. Your blade is proably also somewhat important.
can we avoid talking about politics / religion in this TT forum please ?
are you referring to the Qatar thread?
