happens many times in the match. 6:48 you make a decent long serve, his receive is not so fast, not so good but you're not ready at all and make a weak shot (a very passive block with bad bat angle) 8:12 you make a long good serve, but he's receiving on FH side. his ball is not so fast but you're not ready to play this ball at all. 7:58 rather good serve, he pushes long back but instead of making a BH topspin you make a bad long push to his FH
he has pimples on bh and that is why I have different angle in 6:48, otherwise it would just drop into the net with this kind of shot. Of course it should be different if I tried to loop/drive it. 8:12, for me it was too fast, I didn't miss it on purpose :D. During match I have no idea if he will play straight the line or cross or middle, so I am not ready there. 7:58 again those are pimples, I tried to loop it few times, especially in last set and just kept missing the ball, so there is no reason to try loop every ball if 10% will land on the table and he will counter them anyway. There is much higher chance that he will make mistake after push or that I will block and counter rather than try to loop from his pimples which he will then kill anyway. Even my pushes are high and long, because I had no idea how much backspin is on the ball, so with bh loop that is my weakest point it would be even worse as shown in the last set. In this point I had a lot higher chance of hitting that last coutner from fh than looping unknown spin low ball from bh
actually now that I look at 5:22 I think I would always push it, it was barely above the table at the end, so I would have to loop it from under the table or destroy the blade :D. Also if there was just a little bit more of back spin it would do 2 bounces, or if the table was a little bit different, so I agree that I do a lot of passive returns, but I wouldn't blame myself on this one. 5:49 is a good example where I should just attack (althought not a receive)
@@tkttjp ok its difficult to tell with 100% from this angle, but i still can see the mindset generally is not correct. if he serves to your FH, you should prepare for the long ball and even half long ball. you don't need to loop below the table. the way to get back those half long serves is to have right foot ahead, and contact the ball just as its going off the table to prevent it from going under the table. 8:22 you should attack it. if its going to BH its even easier with chiquita. you dont need a big swing just use the forearm and a lot of wrist. and go more for spin than speed. its enough at our level even if receive is slow. if you realize at the last moment that the ball is too short you can do an emergency push. it looks to me on the video you take a decision and commit to a push too early. and also body height is too high. its very important to watch the height of the ball and try to get it just after the top of the bounce IMO. its where the timing is easiest (before the top of bounce - well you don't know how high it is or could have been...). yeh obviously if the guy serves always 2 bounces then this is not the good approach but i think that should be the default approach.
@@fgrideau it was already dropping while still being above the table, so in that case I would have to loop from below the table or table level. At that point ther eis almost no space between my racket and able when I did push, so it would be impossible to hit the ball with racket horizontall instead of vertical like for the push. The 1 think I should do better there is definitelly trying to push it faster when it was still rising, I think that would be the best solution
5:57 nice rally !
9:22 good rally

11:03 this is really wrong
trying to receive low and short, cause he kills all higher or longer balls :D ?
your receiving is too passive. many serves are long like 5:22 but youre pushing it back
yeah, first time playing this rubber with no prior training or warm up, so 0 confidence, I also popped up many receives when I tried to push low
actually now that I look at 5:22 I think I would always push it, it was barely above the table at the end, so I would have to loop it from under the table or destroy the blade :D.
