It's a table tennis video, so please give me advice on posture

You are too good little miss. I wish nothing but the best in your future WTT events.

Thank you. I'm encouraged to support you. I'll work hard

This is a nice slow-mo, I like it. It is not that easy to comment on it, as you can see so far... But you can always try to compare yourself with someone better. E.g. here is a video where ZJK trains a guy... There is couple of points, which also someone told me, so I'm repeating. First is that they also focus on the compactness of the form...

Second point is that you tend to (comparatively speaking) straighten the arm during back-swing already. It might be a rel. minor point, because there are absolute top-players, who look a bit similar, e.g. TM comes to mind. But I believe that going with your elbow back close to the body during back-swing (while the hand is bent, because you can't do it otherwise, you'd hit your leg), is ultimately a better way, because it is not only more efficient and faster, but also, when done habitually (more or less after any hit), it makes transition to play BH (when unexpected) faster and possible...

Please don't view this as a critique. It is more an idea, that you can try and play with... Best...

This YT channel is about two Korean grade school girls, could be sisters and prolly dad or mom doing the YT channel and posting here on TTD. You never know who is writing... in older days, no one could write or speak worth much in Korea schools... now it is a whole new game and some try to learn both comprehension AND speech at the same time, not so easy, but more doing it now.

Thank you for your great advice. I'll try as you said. Thank you.

I was thinking of commenting, but thought, will just leave that to the girls coaches

Not sure if the incoming ball has backspin (doesn't sound/look like from the slow mo, beyond the first ball), but you're jumping up when you don't need to, with your feet lifting off the ground on each stroke. You may have a more upward motion than necessary. Go forward more and you should save some time while gaining some stability and possibly some ball quality.

Your right knee tends to collapse inward ("knee valgus") when you land. Over time that kind of repetitive stress can cause problems, so I'd recommend talking to your coach about it.

What she is doing is the standard Korean thing (other nations do it too) for small bouncing to make small adjustment and loading body prep.

This helps avoid feet being flat and weight being stopped.

In a Korean school, the hire an ex-pro player who will run the TT training program tighter and more ruthless than Marine Corps Boot Camp... all with just some tables and an assigned multi purpose school room. Usually only one coach running it and players train each other and gather/drill/revies as coach demands. it is both brutal and good.

Starting with all my respect, although I’ve found she is well trained and talented, I may have a couple comments.
However, my words would not make a sense, because this post seems to me also a clever viral/marketing trial for youtube views which don’t want our suggestion actually.

Also I appreciate that. Good luck & Success!

Thank you for your great advice. I shouldn't go up, but I'll try to fix it more.

Thank you for your advice. I think the reason is that she is still a young girl and has no strength in her legs. I will also pay attention to her knees.

You know a lot about Korea.

It may seem like that, but each country has a different style of exercise and different posture, so I uploaded a video because I wanted to hear advice from people from various countries.

ㅋㅋ 내가 아는거... 코딱지 만큼 이다.

I should know at least a little.

 

[Der_Echte]

The Koreans will catch this, that I used a really interesting way to express an amount... Ko-Dak-Ji is a piece that is really small.

There is a common saying in Korean that if you know just the amount of a Ko-Dak-Ji, that you really know just a very little.

This is hilarious by itself when Koreans use this expression sarcastically... but it is even more sarcastic when I say this as a dude very highly skilled in Korean. Koreans rarely meet some foreigner who can crack jokes in their language.
.
I am a famous dude in Korea... but that was over a decade ago and I am well forgotten, except to those who have seen me.

Carl will vouch that I am utterly worthless in Korean in a Korean TT club. (moar backwards speaking here)

I think her forehand loops look great. There is nothing wrong with straightening the arm before the loop motion starts. That is how Chinese players loop the ball. Look at FZD. He actually has a tick/habit of a bit excessive movement with his hand/wrist before starting his forehand loops. But his arm is definitely 1) fully extended and 2) starts from his back. I notice that Koreans are now adopting Chinese forehand using hurricane blue sponge now.

I would like to see her backhand as well.

The only comment is, she needs to bend down (with her legs and her whole body) more when she serves. She is a bit too upright. My coach used to have a saying, "everyone is too tall for the table. Bend down. Bend down more!" That does not mean bending your back only per se. It means bending the legs and the whole body.

Also the contact with the ball on the serve is too high. If she can contact the ball even at a lower point, her serve will for sure either double bounce or half long.

No other comments. Everything else looks very very good.

I think there is a small misunderstanding, because we speak about two different "straightening the arm".

If I had to illustrate the point I was trying to convey from another perspective, I'd say that the back-swing ideally should not follow the same path as the forward swing, but take another path - elbow close back to body, while the arm is bent... Hope it's clearer.

Anyway, rel. minor point...
