Thank you very much I realised that my timing for my forehand topspin is 3-4 but I always hit the ball at 4 I hit the ball at 3 rarely thank u for this amazing tutorial now my forehand topspin is very much better now
Thank you for the video! Now I actually realised that I really am too rushed when playing and hit too soon rather than waiting for the ball. I will change my pace next time I play and tell you what happenned :)
this is a great tutorial. very valuable points here. the timing of your shot probably affects your consistency more than the technique of your stroke, which we all obsess about
I've only started following/watching/learning about Professional Table Tennis about a month ago and I'm so utterly amazed and the stroke mechanics and understanding the flow of the game in slow motion. Thank you for all these videos for all your advice! 谢谢先生！
Amazing. It works well for my forehand topspin. My problem was I touched the ball too early. As a result the placement was too shprt and lt is quite easy to block. After watching your video I realize that I need to wait for timing position 4 or 5. It also means that I have more time for preparation. My strokes are not bad but timing. Thank you very much.
they may not know this channel. I also posted one of your videos (chinese rubber) in the forum of "bongban.org". but i am an amateur they do not listen to me, do they? ;)
EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach a I live in HCMC. I know that not many Vietnamese watch your videos for the reason you already said There is also a guy in Bongban forum with a nick P500. I do guess that maybe it is your nick. Am I right?
EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach Actually i dont know him personally. I only read his entries on the forum - bongban which were very informative about table tennis in general and China as the champion. And somehow I understand that he is a coach practicing in Australia. Maybe you know him?
i can say that i am finally understanding table tennis strokes and there applications. i have learnt so much from your videos. keep it up. very informative!!
thks alot, this video is very essential for me and in my opinion it's very scientifical. "accelerate the ball in these timings", that 's easy to remmember.
There’s a great deal of sport psychology, speaking about timing. Without pleading the merits of the things EmRatThich mentioned, I highly recommend watching a lecture by Mariann Domonkos. I find it really helpful
Hello Coach, Its great to watch your videos and contains lot of information supported with lot of technicalities. The timing positions for each type of shot explained in this video is really helpful as to understand when to make the stroke correctly. I have seen many coaches, they don't explain the importance of when to make the stroke and at what particular point, the ball should contact the racket. This video will give a precise understanding and all individuals can learn and practice out of this. Thanks for sharing.
even though i played tennis before i now consider myself as learning. made a mistake and order a straight handle Tibhar blade with Xiom omega euro (maxx sponge) rubbers on both sides. this setup was too fast for me as a beginner/armature. shots were very inconsistent and hard to keep on the table. watched your videos, educate myself and today purchased a donic waldner allplay with some 729 fx (1.8 sponge). this should help me develop and enjoy my tennis. thank you so much for these vids. Cheers!!
yes. good choice. Develop your stroke! You can see that the speed comes after if you can spin the ball. Feel the ball first, and then upgrade the rubber, the blade is the last thing you upgrade.
Dear Coach, I really needed this video. I have played for a long time and achieved a fairly high level, but have had about a 15 year layoff. So I have been watching your videos to sort of "re-learn" the game from the ground up. In coming back I have found that I "wiff" (just plain miss) on the ball a lot... and on super easy shots too! So this video really hit home. "Fix" the ball. It has really helped a lot. Thank you! I am having a bit of trouble on the backhand Fixing the ball at the 3 position since at impact you really don't see the ball striking the blade. Feel seems to be far more the key. But still my perception of the ball coming straight at me seems harder for me to see when the ball hits the 3 pos. Any advise on Fixing the ball at a position on the backhand that may help me? Thank you so much for your great videos and help! Mark
Next Sunday could you address at what angles do you need to hold the racket when performing strokes? So for example, how open do you need the racket for a push, or a topspin against backspin, etc.? Thanks!
Hey coach, thanks for making these factual and informative videos. One issue I have when playing against higher rated players is that whenever they loop kill, I either freeze up and do nothing, or I attempt to block the loop kill and end up having the loop's spin throw the ball out. What can I do in this situation (counterloop, angle, etc.)? Thanks.
Hi I have a problem in table tennis and I need your help how do the top table tennis players of China handle pressure in games and what mine set do they have when they are in a table tennis game can you do a video on 'mental training' in table tennis so that we get to understand how we should think in games thanks. And also keep up the good work I have learned a lot from your channel and grown into a better player thank you 💯
this is very useful. please add also what part of the ball am I going to contact and do I hit it using the power of rubber only or rubber with the help of the blade.
Great video, can you also explain how to hit ball that bounces very high but with back spin accurately? Many times I hit the ball into the net even though the ball is so high.
Another great video with a great deal of insight. I am an intermediate level player. You explained about the timing in this video but could you please explain about following the ball? Should I follow the ball all the way through or just hit it anticipating the possible trajectory after the bounce? Thanks in advance :)
Hi How are you? I'm an offensive player who like to loop far from the table These days I'm using Tensor rubber on both FH and BH - Pailo AK47 Due to your videos about Chinese Philosophy I'm thinking about using a Tacky Chinese rubber on the FH, for example Hurricane 3 neo Do you recommend moving from EU rubber to Chinese tacky rubber for my FH?
Since the change in ball to the plastic balls, and the change in style following Miu Hirono's attacking style, has the timing positions changed, especially for the forehand loops? Are professionals contacting the ball sooner after the bounce now?
do you have a full video series that I may purchase for reference. I have played for years, but I suck. Want to get better at techniques. Thank you for the help. Don
For instance, all of the coaching videos are free. What do you mean a full video series? No, every weekend, during my spare time, I will make a table tennis coaching for free. I don't sell my video. I don't have enough time to make a private coaching. Maybe, laters, I will make a more specific video, and I will put in on patreon as some players has requested me to do that.
regards What distances between the table do you consider to be the best to obtain the optimum point for both right and backstroke (knowing that the above varies greatly according to the adversary) I think it is important in the process of Training make this quite clear in the young players so that already I leave in automatic like the majority of the movements in this sport and many others. Thanks in advance. I'm sorry for my translator's english
Please teach how to improve our forehand flick and what is the perfect timing to do a forehand flick. My opponent does a heavy backspin serve to my short forehand zone. I can just keep that ball short or long push. I am unable to attack it and when I dont attack my opponent takes the attack.
hello coach emrathick. how are you? hope you're okay. just asking for help about attaching and cleaning my new stiga rosewood nct vii. having a hard time fixing it. and wat good combination rubber on it. i like looping and attacking the ball near and mid the table. thanks
When do you start your backswing in regards to timing? I've heard when the opponent hits the ball, when the ball crosses the net, etc. You mentioned back back back back swing, is there a pause before the swing? Thanks, your videos are great!
yes, there is always a pause before the swing. the best timing to start your backswing is right after your stroke, you do a backswing right after. think that the ball will be returned very fast, don't wait for the opponent hits the ball, or when the ball corsses the net.
can you please explain the difference between using a heavy blade opposed to a light one. I was told that a heavier blade will give u more power in the shot is this true. can you please explain.
nice video. i think you didn't mention backhand chiquita over the table. it's very used nowdays in tabletennis. we have a chinese coach and he says you have to hit the ball at point 4 or 5 . i think it's way different from backhand push. what do you think?
Your stuff is the best I have seen so far EmRat. I have never had much of a BH or FH, so I struggle in Div3, which is the lowest grade in our club. I can not afford coaching either, which makes your videos and training so valuable to me. Your knowledge of the game is impressive, so I am listening hard to everything you say, because I have never had any instruction, really. I wonder if you could explain sometime how to understand the numbers on the racket rubbers. After your video on rubbers and booster, I have become curious as to what I am using. Here are a few numbers on the bats I use. First is Taiji Sanwei T88 (62-007)on both sides......I have no idea what the numbers mean. Second is Tibhar Evolution FX-P (174-012) on both sides. Again, I do not know what to expect with either racket, except that I go outside the table more often with the Tibhar, when I am pushing and chopping.......so I have returned to the T88 for now. The blade with Tibhar is 729 Bomb (OFF), and blade with T88s is Paul Pinkewich (Australian Champion), with no numbers. My game is lots of spin serves, with lots of variation, and then it is defense, as I have no attacking shots, FH or BH. My returns are with lots of sidespin, BH and FH.......so opponents often miss the ball completely. Those who have good topspin drives, both FH and BH, usually have little trouble with me, because they hammer everything that comes high, and sidespin is no problem for that type of shot. So, I remain in the middle of players in this grade. I think your instruction can help me a lot......so I will try to improve now, with the knowledge you give, thank you! JAMES, from Brisbane TT Club, Australia.
How is taking the ball away from the table different when using your backhand, I find that I still need to close the bat, but its still sometimes inconsistent
amaizing video but, you said that the FH loop must been hit wen the ball is in the highiest moment, and then you write that you must hit in the posicion 4-5 that is when the ball is falling. Sory for my english. Thanks for the video.
hi Brian. I've said that the FH loop you should contact the ball at the position 4 -5 when you are a little far way from the table. When you are closer to the table, you can loop, and loop kill the ball at the position 3.

Not many Vietnamese players watch my channel maybe they don't understand well english?

EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach a
I live in HCMC. I know that not many Vietnamese watch your videos for the reason you already said
There is also a guy in Bongban forum with a nick P500. I do guess that maybe it is your nick. Am I right?
who is he? he is also a coach?
EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach
Actually i dont know him personally. I only read his entries on the forum - bongban which were very informative about table tennis in general and China as the champion. And somehow I understand that he is a coach practicing in Australia. Maybe you know him?
i can say that i am finally understanding table tennis strokes and there applications. i have learnt so much from your videos. keep it up. very informative!!
Thanks a lot for making this video, it made learning different table tennis techniques on my own much easier.
Your TT training sessions are very informative. I enjoy each one of them. Thank you.
thks alot, this video is very essential for me and in my opinion it's very scientifical. "accelerate the ball in these timings", that 's easy to remmember.
really good video. everything was explained well whether defensive or attacking player. good job COACH. thank you.
There’s a great deal of sport psychology, speaking about timing. Without pleading the merits of the things EmRatThich mentioned, I highly recommend watching a lecture by Mariann Domonkos. I find it really helpful
love the explanation. it's now all a matter of drilling.
Great vid.
Less power and better timing is indeed the key

Thank you coach. I get what I need to do conceptually but was hitting the ball so late.
You got this!
you're one of the best coaches ...
just wanted to say that ive seen a lot of your videos, very clear and instructional!

Your videos are always a great source of information but this one is excellent... the table for each shot is invaluable... thank you.
You're the best. POWER!!!!. Keep it up the good work. You're the best coach. I learn a lot from you.
keep up your good work. i regularly check for your new video. just eye-opening
Dear Coach
Thank you for your insights!! What is the optimal timing/point between 1 and 5 for empty/spinless balls, long and short?
Another great video! Thank you, Coach!
¡Thanks for all these terrific videos, coach!
good video as usual .. keep it up coach
Yes !
Great coach! Best coach on UA-cam!
Wahhh this is why my forehand loops always go off the table!! Thanks coach!
Next Sunday could you address at what angles do you need to hold the racket when performing strokes? So for example, how open do you need the racket for a push, or a topspin against backspin, etc.? Thanks!
thank you for making this video , now i understand my mistakes
very good illustrated, thank you very much
Thank you very much! This was very informative and I will try to adjust my play, I'm still a beginner that's learning :P
Thank you very much coach! I really appreciate your hard work. I play better because of you.

Backhand flick like Zhang Jike? For Backhand flick, you should hit at 3 to 3.5.
4 to 5 is too late for BH flick.
EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach yes like zhang jike and fan zhen dong . i'm watching some videos, actually 5 it's too late you are right.
Great video! One of the most important topics in Table Tennis. But, What do you mean by "Tip n.18 in lenisms"? I'm curious.
Ohhh, nevermind, I found it :)
Tanks am following U coach
Best coach ever :) thanks
Good explanation
this is great information! love it
On the last scene, you have listed the timing for each stroke. Does this timing depends on the effect of arriving ball?
Good job coach
Hi! how do you beat someone that uses a hart bat paddle(no sponge, pips out, cheap paddle)? Thank you!
My friend (also my coach) told me that when loop backspin ball need to wait when for the ball to drop down to table level. Is it good?
Any video for how to keep ball long or short on push?Also to keep the ball low on net on push?
To push with long pips, at what position? Early or late?

How is taking the ball away from the table different when using your backhand, I find that I still need to close the bat, but its still sometimes inconsistent
very nice sir......
What is correct position when you're opponent serve position like Ma long or Timo boll
amaizing video but, you said that the FH loop must been hit wen the ball is in the highiest moment, and then you write that you must hit in the posicion 4-5 that is when the ball is falling. Sory for my english. Thanks for the video.
hi Brian. I've said that the FH loop you should contact the ball at the position 4 -5 when you are a little far way from the table. When you are closer to the table, you can loop, and loop kill the ball at the position 3.
thanks Emrict
