World Rubber Market YouTube Channel

[NextLevel]

The World Rubber Market YouTube channel has been doing better subtitling and English translation for a while now but it seems I am late to the party given I was out of TT for almost two years.

Gucci and Yassun, who seem to run the the channel often invite expert coaches. Don't let Gucci and Yassun fool you, they are both 2300+ players but often clown around as if they were beginners to show the full impact of the demonstrated expert technique on the newbie.

There is lots of great content on a lot of topics, all of free, addressed to various playing levels and people with physical/tactical/equipment related nuances.

Below is a tutorial on the importance of driving the forehand topspin with the lower body/legs to improve speed and recovery. Enjoy.

Been watching them for round 3 - 4 yrs, even with no subtitles you can pick up the techniques.
Sometimes the subtitles are pretty funny!!

Hey NL,
Another channel that has some great content is Ti Long’s channel.
Very informative. If you have already seen his stuff great, if not definitely one to look out for.

Probably the best in my list next to two Russian channels

What is the reason for this move? Why jump outside with the right foot after contact? Wouldn't that make recovery harder?

Footwork can be a complicated subject but what you are seeing is not necessarily what you should be interpreting. There is no ball being swung at so you really don't have a good idea what he is demonstrating. In general footwork needs you to be able to sequence shots as well as get into position to play shots so it is easy to not know exactly when the ball was hit and what aspects of the movement facilitate recovery for the next shot unless you see the sequence with a ball. In fact, one internet commentator talked about the footwork being different for men and women in a crossover sequence (no it isn't) rather than just talking about players demonstrating different things.

To be honest, that particular player had some of the most advanced guest coaching lectures on the channel. That said, just realize that footwork in practical table tennis when you are often pressured by the speed of your opponents shots requires shots to be played while moving and to enable post shot balance and recovery. But unless you see the ball being struck, sequences can be deceiving because even the feeling of when you should hit thr ball can be communicated badly by what a player is showing.

Yep, that is a great channel. Lots of good free content on YouTube.

I really liked Sergei (or is it Viktor?) Tolkachev's material back in the day but I cant speak Russian so I only hope things can be translated to hit wider audiences.
