i like this. i think u can give us more drills for different level or styles, making them different series. A lot more organized playlists, help people binge more of your content to their own relevancy. well done Seth, i've improved quite a bit from your tips! I'll be challenging u soon =)
Hi that’s a good idea, the good news is that many of the drills I present can be done at lower speeds, the players I work with do much of the same drills and we slowly level up the drills, the key is to have a really solid foundation stroke development, the one hurdle that is hard to overcome is that there are many micro problems that hold many people back that are hard to identify and correct from wide coverage videos, I would most likely need to work with the person one on one to fix this then they will continue their upward growth because the foundation has been made stronger s
Great information and neat to see the collab. I really liked the question-and-answer format to convey information! Just saw Panda Pong at NCTTA regionals in Texas this weekend, he and his team were super impressive. Note after watching: Good lord, Panda Pong nailed it at 3:05; I feel like this is one frequent misconception from players under 2000 (myself absolutely included), we (sort of correctly) obsess over our form for BH and FH and think if the ball doesn't make it, our form must have been slightly wrong, but in reality, the opponent's hitting variety (slight chop/drive/loop) affected the ball. I realize I need to watch the opponent's contact and not fake myself into believing every ball can be hit the same way. This likely stems from too many drills of pure backspin or pure topspin; often it's the variety in between those two extremes which causes me the biggest issue in matches.
Eggart repeats a very critical high level concept of treating each ball individually with different tempo, spin and placement which PandaPong shared in the video. That concept alone is worth 125 ratings points.
eh what? i dunno how good 2000 is in the USA compared to Germany, but beliving that one correct shot or topspin can place all balls on the table is insanely stupid and any non-beginner player beliving that should really question his intelligence tbh.. like how obvious can it be starting with backspin vs topspin balls and then all the different nuances in between.. like who is that dumb..
Enjoying your informative videos… I am interested in footwork insights, like one you recently did! Can u do more on foot work and the advantages of staying on the balls of your feet and not on one’s heals?
Kalle Sändare I like it! haha I usually have to tell the looper to take it easy on me 😅 it’s very helpful indeed! Is it Pronounced like Schalle Sondaré??
That’s a great idea! I’m actually currently working on that myself for the last year been talking with many pros as well as working hard t develop it myself through training and physical training. I think some people are gifted with this kind of power, also I believe that the more confident you feel with the timings and spins the more aggressive you allow yourself to be. Good idea I’ll keep that in mind
Hey PechPong -- love your channel. I don't know if this falls under drills, but I've always wondered about how you go about changing bad technique or habits, and what your mind set is for that. You seem to be really systematic in your practice, and I've taken your habit of journaling after my practice. Any thoughts on this?
So there are a few thoughts I have about this. It’s a great question and maybe other pros may have different opinions but for me changing things in my game like strokes or techniques has become a lot easier now than before because of my ball control, ball timing and body awareness. So whenever I try and teach someone a new skill that maybe they are uncomfortable with I try to not only make the changes but do drills that will improve the overall ability to adjust, so for example when I talk about opening up the racket I encourage to open it way more than they need to and try to play the ball like that because when they try the right way it will be much easier because I have increased their body and maybe ball timing control. Another thought is that when making changes for me is that when I do something new at first it will seem difficult but after a little bit of practice I will find it’s better and I will naturally go to it, sometimes I try something and keep working at it and it just doesn’t seem to work, so I go back to what was more comfortable. That being said I have thought about changing my grip to more neutral for many years and have tried many times and have always turned back, I made the change recently and because my body awareness is better I was able to make the change without a major loss in my level. It’s complicated I guess but in the end it seems that I creasing body ball timing awareness wins out. Sorry for the long explanation maybe you get some ideas from this maybe you don’t :)
Do you have a review for the DNA Dragon Grip? I've been using it after using a ton of Chinese rubber, I'd love some tips and techniques for maximizing it for my forehand.
Hey Seth. Thanks for the video as always. Your forehand topspin/loop is just book perfect. Could you PLEASE make a video about a checklist/what are the components of doing it so it looks that perfect? Thanks!
Awsome videos Pech...my appreciation! On this one a thought.....I see a lot of players way to passive on fh when they get an attack there and they are I think to much trainen from beginning to play to passive.....so a fh block on a not to fast tsp only if you can do something creative which disturbs the opponent...otherwise always somekind of counterspin because on the toplevel you are mostly chanceless when you block the ball to easy.....when you just train fh block to frequently I think your brain gets to much accustomed to passive play....so much more and frequently tsp block/counterspin in my view....
Good thoughts! I can agree very much with this, I have started to work on counterlooping the ball with the forehand and blocking with the backhand while doing these drills in the video. I do think it’s important to be able to block or counterloop depending on ho well I was able to anticipate the ball. So beginning with just block and then upgrading to counter loop Is a good progression I feel.
@@PechPongTT When the change took place from 38mm to 40mm I had a lot of difficulty because with the 40mm ball it was easier for players to counter attack my opening. That never happened with the 38mm ball. I was so focused on trying to stop the counter attack for many months. It wasn’t until I realized that I could make a fast block even if someone re-looped my opening strong. That’s when I started doing the drill you mentioned this video. Thanks!

Two of my favorite channels coming together like Voltron!
Haha yes exactly 🙌

Hey 👋 I didn’t talk to anyone at regionals who knew about PandaPong. Next time say hi!
True story! LOL

Thank you!
so good! Thanks Seth and Panda Pong. Will try this:! Missing a lot of weird balls when the blocker did something different ( not adjusting the shot)
i just wanna say that you have the best training content on youtube!
Thank you, Im glad you think so Ill keep trying to improve on it
Enjoying your informative videos…
I am interested in footwork insights, like one you recently did! Can u do more on foot work and the advantages of staying on the balls of your feet and not on one’s heals?
First exercise, in Sweden we call it Kalle sändare! quite frustrating exercise but really good to do it sometimes :D
Kalle Sändare I like it! haha I usually have to tell the looper to take it easy on me 😅 it’s very helpful indeed! Is it Pronounced like Schalle Sondaré??
Real good one, tks
Any tournaments coming up?
Some match analysis,
What Equipment are u using
Thank you! I have a tournament in may I believe so working towards that
Awesome video! Just curious, what state do you play in? Also, how long have you been playing? Thanks!
I play in Ohio and I’ve been playing 18 years about 10 really focused
Hey, you should do a video on how to develop a explosive bh with a short movement !

Hey man yeah I really like the DNA dragon grip send me a message on insta and I can talk about it @sethdan
Sehr gut. Danke
Bitte schon 😁
🌎🇪🇨🙂👍

Thank you, a forehand video is in the works, coming soon to a screen near you :)

Subscribed to both! I always get in the mood of playing after watching their videos :)
Great to hear yes more playing 👍🏓
Switching from offense to defense drill helped me immensely when there was a change from the 38mm ball to 40mm ball. Great video!
Hey thanks and that’s Interesting, I didn’t really get to play with the 38mm ball I’m wondering what the difference was and why it helped so much.

Ah makes sense, yes it’s an even bigger part of the game now.
Good stuff brother, as always.
Thanks man :)
