That is great explanation.I used to train tt so long and nobody explain fh topspin in that way. I think you are very talented coach. Thank you very much for free lessons for us club level players.
I watched again. It is crazy how liitle things is important. I had always problem not to pull arm down before forehand top spin. But in this video it is said that wrist have to guide the whole hand. Only think about the wrist and fingers before execution the shot!!
Great video Heming. Your wrist was open in upside whereas timo wrist is downside . I feel i can do wrist movement easily when my wrist is little down than up. Please share your viewd
@@mayankchaturvedi570 thanks man It really doesn’t matter so long as you get that brush contact with ball and rubber so that you can reliably and consistently get spin on your topspin
Hi Heming, when you talk about rotation and weight transfer please give some tips on how older club players can do weight transfer. The tips which I have seen so far might work well for young players or while in practice but have very limited application for older players.
The way you do it is still the same whether you’re a 13 year old or 69 year old However if you’re not very strong/powerful and not in great shape, a personal trainer who can be athlete specific with nutrition and strength training -> is your solution to fix this. This is not my personal area or expertise so I’ll stay in my lane of teaching skills that I know and worked for me and others to reach higher levels. Sorry 😁 I figure it’s more integrity if I don’t pretend to be an expert in a field that isn’t my expertise area. It’s more honest and fair to you guys
Fantastic video! This is exactly what I needed. One question, which one is the video you are mentioning on the 'how to hold the paddle correctly ' . I watched multiple videos of yours but couldn't figure out . Can you please help me out here . Thank you for the great video in advance
Thank you! For those that use a European style forehand (elbow bent at 90 degrees throughout the stroke) such as Samsanov, Anders Lind, and many others, the wrist use still applies?
hey, thanks for the awesome video. loving your content recently. I implemented your tips and I have gotten visibly more spin + my practise partners have more trouble blocking my shots. however, I noticed my shotd have more sidespin now. what do you think the reason could be? I definitely want to be able to conteol when its pure topspin and when sidespin is mixed in aswell greetings from germany
Great video Heming - thank you. So when you get a fast ball that you counter when you have limited hip and elbow movement and use the opponents pace, do you still use the wrist like this or keep it fixed? What about for heavy pushes, should older plays still ACTIVELY use the elbow to generate enough pace? Love to get your clarification on this.
Thank you! Yes I still use the same wrist except I wouldn’t cock the wrist backwards, I would just follow through but have zero backswing with both my wrist and whole arm. I borrow the incoming pace AND spin of the fast ball and generate a bit more myself of spin and speed with the follow through motion
Doesn’t matter your age, height or anything, unless someone hits it fast into your body and it forces you to use elbow movement accidentally. On forehand topspin in table tennis you should NEVER voluntarily use your elbow
I didn't. Not really. It's more important that one can shorten or larger their stroke depending on how much time the incoming ball has. Picking up this information is also a critical skill these pros possess, that non pros struggle a lot more with
you can still very much drive through the ball hard, and still get lots of spin. It's a myth that you need to hit it thin to get heaps of spin. You can achieve this by simply hitting hard and ensuring you do use your fingers and wrist to grip the ball fully, and cut out elbow and shoulder use

thats a myth. You can improve at really any age. Of course you will learn slightly faster at a younger age, but people who don't start at age 20 or even more, can still get good at table tennis just the same. You don't suddenly lose your ability to learn once your not a child anymore. However, if you start past the age of 12/13, then becoming a pro is really a very unlikely chance
Best tip ever. Changed my game immediately
Veryy good, i am from Dagestan and watch many video, in first time i underrated this person, make more video please
Interesting. I thought people from Dagestan only wrestle with bears like Khabib, now I know they play table tennis, too.

Clearest and most straight forward explanation seen on ut.. many thanks Heming!

Finally a high level pro explains stuff
thanks for the course spending a lot of monney to learn but i never hearded that anyway ❤

It would be helpful to have photo examples in between your instructions to help follow along and even contrast
Thank you for the feedback man
This reminds me of zhang jike's technique. What do you think?

How old are we talking?
Great video and good question re older players. I am 69 and want to keep improving.

Hola, esto e podria aplicar a estilo lapicero? saludos
Man I will give my paycheck all to you so you help me with everything I need
sir, you are talking about the wrist but in action, you are showing both the wrist & the forearm moving, the latter more so than the former
I think, it's the combination of all. Important is, that you loose your wrist and underarm to get more speed and rotation.
@@chriso.3324correctumundo
Did you ask Timo about this?
I'm guessing there are advantages to his shorter stroke as it's shorter and doesn't need as much time to set it up?
I didn't. Not really. It's more important that one can shorten or larger their stroke depending on how much time the incoming ball has. Picking up this information is also a critical skill these pros possess, that non pros struggle a lot more with

So how do u penetrate the ball? Since I know if we use h3 and we loop thinly it’s not gonna be fast and heavy, how do people loop thick?
