Thanks. Didn't mean to play the necromancer, but i just bumped into that vid yesterday.

I'm not sure if there is any "THE BEST" footwork drill. Some are better some less, but each posted drill helps to reach certain goals, and I would say it depends on what one is working on.
But you're right. The random Multiball helps to work on quickness and decrease reaction time which is pretty helpful in tabletennis in general.
Man, Carl, this time you've really outdone yourself.
This must be the best explanation i've heard or read.
Thanks for taking the time to elaborate so detailed.
Who couldn't be convinced now? As you've probably seen from the vid of me in the CC thread why i need it so necessarily.

Actually, Suga D, you should know, you look pretty darn good in that video. One thing to understand is, that ball coming from the robot is not a realistic ball. Your friend looks like he has just faced the robot more than you. But that ball is wacky. And when you are lined up with it, your technique is very solid, you are definitely putting very nice spin on the ball. The body and racket move together. But on many of them you are off balance because of how weird that ball coming from the robot is.
And someone who is really used to that ball from the robot may not do very well against a real human because that is really not at all like what a real human would produce.
So don't judge yourself by the off balance shots or the miscues. One of the problems with a robot is that the ball does not actually go to the same place over and over and the only cue for spin, speed and direction are an aperture where the ball exits.
With a real person you see the stroke, the body mechanics, the racket angle, the amount of brush they put on the ball. In that video, in effect, you are managing as well as you can without any of those cues.
But the truth is, most of us need a decent amount of most of those remedial exercises. Most of us are either players who played as kids and tried to come back after a decade or two, or players who started trying to learn good technique from scratch as an adult.
If you watch a kid 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 get trained, one thing that is pretty evident almost immediately, the move an inch or two when the ball is an inch or two away, because THEY HAVE TO. They are small enough that they have to move to pretty much every ball even when the coach is trying to put it in the same spot. So, at 8 years old that habit is naturally trained into them as what you have to do.
Most adults just reach farther or jam themselves when the ball is a few inches in either direction and this leads to not adjusting to precise locations of ball placement. Note, the way I said it means, we are likely not accurate in our adjustment to balls that are close to the same place but we are also likely not so accurate in adjusting to balls that we need to move farther for either. We judge that we can reach the rest of the way.
Without question I have realized that if I wanted to get as good as I would like to be, I would need to have a pretty decent coach feeding me multiball drill upon drill upon drill for 3-4 hours a day, 6 days a week, for a few years to really develop the fundamentals. We would have to start slow, we would have to start with walking to get the right foot patterns and good spacing. The drills would need to include standardized drills and randomized drills. And my training would need to include 1-2 hours of a combination of match play and match simulation drills as well. So 4-6 hours a day, 6 days a week for several years. And that still might not fix all the flaws.
I think the point is the more you practice, you get into your own style and habit. That style and habit shouldn't be such that it hinders with your game.This is so deep I don't get the point. Well done.

Sorry :') sir if I offended you in anyway. It's hard to understand sarcasm over text. Plus it's not that I know you and how you talk.And who are you telling this? A 4 year old? I was being sarcastic, and everyone realized it then.
On bumping this thread.
