How good have you been at her age?? :-)

@Wiwa
I've thought about that.
It sure is a help for the future.
She trains like everyday and the height growth wont be much a problem since she is growing bit by bit..

@Yosua
Yeah I think u are right. But if u just think about the difference between now and 2 years ago, she should be using a totally different technique. But I guess from now on it is just bending her knees more to get the right height for the same technique. But then what she did at 5 was merely footwork and consistency on no-spin balls, which is of course transferrable to practically any technique.

Have a look at Timo Boll. They have footage of him at 4, 5, 6, and they continue up in age:

She actually has better form than Timo did when he was really young. But by the time he is 9 Timo's form looks pretty good.

Thats diamond Carl !
Thanks a bunch

This shows us that talent is not much of a factor.. If you guys read Bounce by Matthew Syed you guys will understand for sure
Despite the fact Ai Fukuhara is the most talented (imo or she got the most media coverage), she stucks at WR 7..

Yep. And I think the real issue for that girl will be if she still has the interest and if she actually has the drive to play when she is 13, 15, 17. Right now someone else is telling her what to do. If she really wants to do it, she will be among the top players. If she is not really interested, only interested in the attention and not the competition, or does not have the competitive edge, she will not go far. But at 7 she was very good.

I think this will come with time.. She wont grow up 10cm at night
So she will just adapt to her height as she will grow up..

I think timo boll the movie is the best evidence that if you want to bee very good you have to be a talent and start very early with training and you have to train very hard
