These mistakes are just some of the key areas we find that can hold back players from improving, so be sure to comment what other mistakes you think are important to avoid! 🏓💥
I would like to see an electronic analysis screen from Dan and Tom, push them dots and arrows around like Neville and Carragher. With examples of top players in such situations. World class punditry. Keep it coming boys
I tried your suggestions. Thanks for the excellent video. Got a little passive today though, maybe I just need to calibrate my strokes a little more. I would say taking your time is a good suggestion, but once you have the right ball it is also important to finish the point.
I always break the second rule. :D I am going for the killer shot every time. But it sometimes works. It is 50 50 :D. I am usually very attacking table tennis player.
The biggest problem is finding a training partner that will put up with what you want to do and who has the skill to place and return the ball accurately...
Hi Henri that's a great point. Here are some options: - feed multi ball - find a coach - robot - look for other clubs nearby - training camps - tournaments and leagues help with match experience But we understand it's not always easy to find suitable practice partners, sometimes to reach the next level requires going that extra mile to find better training. Hope you find a solution 💪🏓
@@Hannah-gu8yj lol, I had a similar problem. Usually I don't ask them to really play a game with me for the most part. I suggest a drill that'd be exciting for both of us which is I get to attack as much as I can and as hard as I can, but they have to return it to the same spot at a consistent speed, spin, and arch. I get to work on my shots and they get practice in consistency and control.
0:25 First mistake - Shot selection 2:47 Second mistake - Take your time 4:47 Third mistake - Shot efficiency 6:57 Fourth mistake - Serve and Return 9:23 Fifth mistake - Take initiative
You guys should make a video like this on equipment. Talk about different types of rubbers and blades and which ones suit what type of player. Since equipment is also pretty important in table tennis, I think it'd be really useful if you made a video like that.
@@maxime867 Exactly. I'm a beginner player and the first bat I bought was geared towards an advanced player and has a lot of power and pop but I was making a lot of mistakes. Then I bought a beginner style bat which is much more forgiving and comfortable to use which made me a better player. I'm not playing people where I need tons of power -- consistency is more important for me at this time, and the beginner bat gave this to me. One of the guys I play with likes my advanced player bat and the other day when I watched him play he was hitting a ton of balls just barely long. I told him the problem was the bat because of its power and pop which was pushing the ball long. I explained to him if he would use a bat made for a beginner -- most of those shots he barely hit long would have gone in.
I hate it when I attack with a smash and my opponent actually defends it and I had thought it was a guaranteed point and wasn't expecting the ball to come back haha
Always assume the ball is coming back. Be ready to play one more. That’s actually very often the key difference when you go up one league. The opponents return one more ball than the previous ones did. The only way to beat this is to be ready to receive one more.
@@bricecarpentier5817 thank you for the tip! Last Tuesday, I fell while playing (there was a wet spot that I slipped on while chasing after a ball) so I can't play for a few days, but I definitely want to work on returning every single ball
Rallying is the fun of table tennis. If they can get back your best shot it probably means the skill of you and your opponent well matched and you can have a good match. Close matches are more fun than a mismatch, even if you are on the winning side in the mismatch. Close matches improve your skills. If they get back your best shot it gives you an opportunity to do another one - if you are good enough. If not, then well played to them, and you try to get them the next point. Watch any of the highlight vids on UA-cam - players do killer shots all the time and their opponents often, sometimes seemingly miraculously, gets them back. Fantastic play from both players, that they and the audience enjoys. Table tennis would be pretty dull if once someone did a so called killer shot the opponent concedes the point.
haha I do this sometimes at my school. im one of the better players, but definitely not the best. I thought I had reached my skill cap, but recently something just clicked and now im beating the people that beat me. im hitting the inside faster, lower, more accurate, and cleaner, while hitting my main black backhand with a better spin. but oooo man, when I hit it fast, very great, and low, often times I think "gg" but then they hit it back XD. a real RIP
when i was a younger faster player other players used to book in to practice with me. I HAVE NEVER EVER KNOCKED BACK EVEN A PURE BEGINNER THAT WANTED A HIT. Now i am older no one comes knocking anymore, so if you are keen to learn search out some of those older top players as they still have a lot to offer and have a load of experience and most of them love helping the up and coming players.
I played for 2 years and then at some point i couldn´t improove because i was better than everyone in my club, and i got bored and quit playing without even knowing what my problem was. Now i watch so much tt-content and i think i am motivated to improove and play again. thanks for the content and the motivation your putting out there :P Greetings from a German Powermachine
Great video. I would hope most people watch it ! I preach these exact points to most players I try to help... You were so on point. You are just missing one thing at the end to be said (I think).... which is, "Set yourself a goal to improve ONE THING AT A TIME !" and check your improvement. Example: the Shot Picking routine at Serve & Return ! Most players they put waaaay too much emphasis on their serve spins and drive the serve out of the table. I find that most "average" players are missing real coaching and get CONFUSED by not practicing these exact points !! One aspect of the game that I never see coaches talk about is "body language" during a match situation. Often I see guys playing well and during a specific shot selection they miss it, instead of thinking why they miss it, they tend to wave their head in disgust, pulling a swearing tantrum and showing obsessive negativity (I call it!). This motivates the opponent (obviously) making him/her start to blast balls out of nowhere because that will make you forget about everything you know about winning that match !!! I hate to see great players lose easy matches, just because of that and blowing their fuse box ... Something to consider talking about. I will shut up now.... Kudos to you guys.
I preach these things religiously to my kids. I think one of the hardest things for them is to take drills to a match. Getting the right mindset to treat the point with the same consistency they treat the drill as opposed to going in too hard (as you guys mentioned) really makes a big difference. I love your vids. Keep it up.
Hey Shezie i totally agree it can be very difficult. I sometimes find putting training drills into a match context can help. For example, first table or player to topspin 25 forehands in a row wins... this also makes things fun. Keep up the great work with the kids! Table Tennis is the best! Thanks for following the channel 😀🏓
This is really informative and has high impact for TT and plenty of other sports. Anyone who plays a competitive sport but will appreciate this video. Thank you!
I do all of these except sometimes my shot selection is pretty bad in matches. That is why I am playing more matches now to get the feel of it and then I will go back to practice again. One big mistake I make though is that sometimes when I drive, my footwork is wrong but I think my service and return game is pretty good.
Smashed it! 👏🏾. Serve receive was big. Those Tom serves are sneaky spinny, Jaffa Cakes spinny 🤣. But seriously though you are killing it with these tutorials guys. Well done. 👏🏾
Great video, all 5 tips spot on. Have you guys thought about making a video comparing different handles (ST/FL/AN) and their respective pros and cons (of a well-known racket like TB ALC let's say)? That would be super useful as many people looking to buy a new blade are struggling to select the best type of handle for their game.
@@roydollins Hey Roy yeah I changed from anatomical to flared. This was because my anatomical blade was to old and warm out. The flare felt more well balanced to me. I also have tennis elbow so I am trying some different handle types to see if it has an effect, this was recommended by the physio 🏓
@@TableTennisDaily Did you use a straight handle before? If so, wasn't it too slippery or unstable especially in forehand strokes? As far as I'm concerned, handles of TB ALC and TB Spirit should be identical, with Viscaria having a thicker handle - do you find the handle of Viscaria more comfortable?
roydollins I developed constant wrist pain when I played a ST Stiga All Classic. I felt less power in my forehand and I couldn’t grab the blade properly. Then I switched to the FL Joola MC1 and it’s a totally different feeling. Fits my smaller hand perfectly and I have a consistent strong forehand and backhand now.
Another great tips there! I totally agree. But if there is one that I could add, that is most average players do not have, is the habit if getting into ready position after serve and after each stroke. I think this is link to poor shot selection and shot efficiency since they could not make the next stroke properly because they are out of position. I love what you said about deliberate practice, focus on improving the weaknesses, train and not just going to the club for match play. Maybe matchplays from time to time but most of your time should be on training. Speaking of training, there should be a great focus on footwork, not just the swing. I know there are so much more that we could add but those 5 you shared are really the top 5. :)
Hey Mathematechx yeah I completely agree with you, footwork and ready position is key. As you say there are so many things which we could of added. Glad you liked the video and thanks for the comment 🙌 You rock! 🏓
At my senior club most players dont like practicing , they believe in ''learning by playing'' philosophy .... hard to change a majority though i try . All 5 advices are worthy , thanks a lot. TT learning curve is long , like learning a new language without learning the basic rules and the essential vocabulary which is at least 200 words.
As always a great video! Since the "better" players in our club hardly get into training, I train with other clubs. There they play two to three leagues higher and have more efficient training. It helps me a lot to improve. Your videos and tips are also very helpful for me! Many thanks to you and happy Christmas and a happy new year!
Hey Franky thanks for the nice comment, great to hear you're practising at different clubs, playing out of your comfort zone is key! Have a wonderful Christmas and New years to. Stay tuned for more videos :)
No. I only pay for one club (where am I active with my team). All other clubs are more or less "just for fun". They are happy when they have other training partners. And so one hand washes the other. ;-)
I would like to see an electronic analysis screen from Dan and Tom, push them dots and arrows around like Neville and Carragher. With examples of top players in such situations. World class punditry. Keep it coming boys
i'd like you to make a video about the spin matrix. a sidespin serve with a bombing effect will not have the same effect on the receiver than a straight sidespin serve. interpretation of the spin to be able to hit it correctly to kill the ball if possible. like per exemple, i'll never understand people pulling on the ball up like crazy on a backspin serve or push. just hit it flat from under and it will fly pass the opponent. you also can use your wrist to adapt the hitting angle. instead of bending the body to the limit just to lift a backspin. HIT IT WITH A DRIVE just below the equator and let the speed talk.
I'm embarassed to say, all those mistakes really relate to me. Except maybe for the last part, i'm willing to improve. Now I'm moving to another club, where I'm the worst player in the room. So hopefully i can improve more
I find it hard to find a training partner, they all wanna go straight in to a match so what I did was (for example, I wanted to improve my service return/banana flick) I returned almost everything using my backhand banana flick up to a point that I would reposition myself into the forehand side but still use my backhand/banana flick. I lost a ton of matches obviously but after 6 months, I am the only beginner/amateur player in my group that return serves using banana flick!
No pain no gain, speaking from experience, my backhands used to suck but i did them all the time it was boring and i missed alot but now i hit all and am very grateful cause i kept on practice
I think another one is to be brave. It's easy to play defensively all the time and get reasonable results from relying on other's mistakes, but that is not going to improve your game. Be aggressive, even though you might lose out in the short term it will benefit in the long run.
Nice and constructive video ! I' m good being an average player , i don't play to progress , just having fun and i know i can't be better ,so ok for me :)
4:15 My entire take away from this video. I'll never play the game ever the same again. Just gonna set em right on the table at the start of every game from here on out.
What are your thoughts on rubber. Many channels on youtube say you shouldn't use your legs much in shots unless you're using Chinese rubber. If you use euro rubbers then to try and play like MA long with most legs will make you hit it off the table everytime for example
Good video .I really need this. I've been having a bad game play for a week since I got a carbon blade . I want to improve but it's not working for me. And how do you clean your rubber
should i move to china to focus on TT outside of having a job to support myself? In other words, for purely amateur reasons and to become a better player?
Someone here mentioned to show videos for penholders... Thar would be interesting... Or meet somebody with that grip in one of your videos. I know is not easy to find penholders there in Europe... Anyway it would be great to see the flicks, loops, serves, ect. With that style... Some techniques are diferrent... Flicks like chiquita for penholders for example
ChessArmyCommander if you’re an adult you’ll probably never reach the level they’re at. They’re very talented players with a lot of training and experience. Most players never reach that level
@@johnmightymole2284 you're way too optimistic, it takes about 2.5 days to reach this level from absolute beginner. After 2 days I was at about 80% of these guys level, so I decided to spend a few more hours the next day to get to 100%
True, I look better than my practice partners (usually) but end up losing matches with them 9 out of 10. But at the same time I don’t care cuz I’m practicing my bh flick. 😅
Hey Viet, Tom is using the STIGA Hybrid Wood with Genesis M both sides and I'm using the Boll ALC with Dignics 80 and Tenergy 05. What is your current setup at the moment?
@@TableTennisDaily I heard the sound when ball touching your racket soft & woody. I am curently use Butterfly Tamca Gergely 5000, FH DHS Hurricane 3, BH Gewo.
It seem like my setup has less feeling when touching the ball. Ball touch the table with low angle and bounce like rocket but placement really bad. Ball goes out of the table. Plus my timing is not good enough.
How do i find clubs to play at? I live in London and I find it really hard to find meetups/clubs online. The results i get back are the ping pong bars but you can't really go to these on your own, i want to find somewhere to learn and improve.
Apologies if you've already found this, but tabletennisengland.co.uk have a "find places to play" search on their homepage, you can filter the search for clubs near you. Hope this helps!
@@COL321 I see a few locations near me on that website but I've never joined a club before so was curious as to what it means by 'Associate' and 'Premier' clubs? And the green markers that say "Ping!", is that just where there are tables? No worries if you don't know, appreciate the link!
@@maxoys45 Yeah the Ping thing is just a random table usually just out in a park or something, just to give the general public a go. Not sure about the difference between associate and premier clubs, maybe someone else could clarify?

I would like to know what you guys equipment you guys play with?Thanks!!
Extremely important stuff here.
I really gotta work on some of these 😬
Thanks Gustavo hope your game is coming on well 💪🏓
Here too?
@@crimebelt yup ✌️✌️
@@gustavosuenaga I keep seeing u in adam bobrown videos too! °o°
I think another one is to be brave.
It's easy to play defensively all the time and get reasonable results from relying on other's mistakes, but that is not going to improve your game. Be aggressive, even though you might lose out in the short term it will benefit in the long run.
Video was so on point, how about a detailed equipment guide next.
Nice and constructive video !
I' m good being an average player , i don't play to progress , just having fun and i know i can't be better ,so ok for me :)
Do a Penhold tactics/ style video
Great video! Thanks.
Thanks Panda! 🏓 Have a good new year :)
Please do a video on choosing a paddle. I'm a beginner improver not sure about all the range, £5 versus £35, spin speed etc
If you have a table tennis shop near you go ask an employee there. Otherwise Donic sells complete racquets for different levels.
4:15 My entire take away from this video. I'll never play the game ever the same again. Just gonna set em right on the table at the start of every game from here on out.
What are your thoughts on rubber. Many channels on youtube say you shouldn't use your legs much in shots unless you're using Chinese rubber. If you use euro rubbers then to try and play like MA long with most legs will make you hit it off the table everytime for example
What racket u guys using, the sound is soo satisfying, I love it so much
Good video .I really need this. I've been having a bad game play for a week since I got a carbon blade . I want to improve but it's not working for me. And how do you clean your rubber
Very useful
Thanks Dan! Now I will beat my friend! :)
Hehe let us know how you get on :)
Sure!
Maybe your friend also watch this video 😂
Have you beaten your friend yet? :D
Amazing video idea!
Thanks!
Thank you po ❤️
Really helped!
That's great to hear Jonathan!
should i move to china to focus on TT outside of having a job to support myself? In other words, for purely amateur reasons and to become a better player?
Where do you live now, like country
@@anjaymitalskiff4938 Canada -- a place with more freedom but less TT!
@@M.Redsky indeed, I wouldn't recommend moving to china right now, because of its political climate
And now I wouldn't recommend it because of wuhan virus
What the hell kind of question is that to ask in a youtube comment section?
Thanks
🏓 what is your favorite blade Dan? Many time to use it..🙏
Someone here mentioned to show videos for penholders... Thar would be interesting... Or meet somebody with that grip in one of your videos. I know is not easy to find penholders there in Europe... Anyway it would be great to see the flicks, loops, serves, ect. With that style... Some techniques are diferrent... Flicks like chiquita for penholders for example
Hey Dan, yeah we have had quite a few requests for this, we are currently looking into it. Stay tuned and thanks for subscribing :)
How long does it take for an absolute beginner to reach the level where you guys are at?
ChessArmyCommander if you’re an adult you’ll probably never reach the level they’re at. They’re very talented players with a lot of training and experience. Most players never reach that level
2 days.
@@johnmightymole2284 you're way too optimistic, it takes about 2.5 days to reach this level from absolute beginner. After 2 days I was at about 80% of these guys level, so I decided to spend a few more hours the next day to get to 100%
When your so early all you see is "FIRST"
i'll never understand those kids.
Dan is a kinggg
Why am I watching this I've played table tennis like four times in my life
Hi Dan, what rubber and blade do you use?
How to improve on backhand topsin can anyone tell please
Nice video, 5 things to practice and 5 weaknesses to exploit in your opponent.
Thanks Mark! :)
Which blade and rubber are used here to demonstrate this episode?
Hey so when I try doing a forehand smash topspin sometimes it doesn't bounce on the table, any tips?
Good video, great points made!
Thanks Luqa 💪 Have a good Christmas 💥
@@TableTennisDaily Ty! You to!
3:09 No, ya want us to make mistakes so you can win the point😭😂😂😂
Sir what is game planing for table tennis
Hey guys can you do a review on the dhs hurricane long 5 and hurricane long 5x?
do TableTennisDaily vs Pongfinity
maybe u guys should make a video on how to counter short and long pips rubber
Go against pongfinity
True, I look better than my practice partners (usually) but end up losing matches with them 9 out of 10. But at the same time I don’t care cuz I’m practicing my bh flick. 😅
Thanks, Edward Norton!
What paddles are you guys using?
What paddles do you guys use?😕😕
Well, seems I fail on all these fronts, so lots of work needed. Even at 74!
the Ant n Dec of table tennis!! :D
What is your equipment ? Its seem slow and spinny. My equipment is too fast, hard to control.
Hey Viet, Tom is using the STIGA Hybrid Wood with Genesis M both sides and I'm using the Boll ALC with Dignics 80 and Tenergy 05. What is your current setup at the moment?
@@TableTennisDaily I heard the sound when ball touching your racket soft & woody. I am curently use Butterfly Tamca Gergely 5000, FH DHS Hurricane 3, BH Gewo.
It seem like my setup has less feeling when touching the ball. Ball touch the table with low angle and bounce like rocket but placement really bad. Ball goes out of the table. Plus my timing is not good enough.
Imagine the comments would actually be about the video!!!
What was Tom's racket? (model - full name)
Lol love the vids bro Happy Holidays I hope you hit 150k soon I have always wanted to play with you Happy Holidays and good luck with the new year
Thanks Clueless, have a great Christmas and New Years :)
@@TableTennisDaily you too thx for replying to my comment btw
How do i find clubs to play at? I live in London and I find it really hard to find meetups/clubs online. The results i get back are the ping pong bars but you can't really go to these on your own, i want to find somewhere to learn and improve.
Apologies if you've already found this, but tabletennisengland.co.uk have a "find places to play" search on their homepage, you can filter the search for clubs near you. Hope this helps!
@@COL321 oh wow i hadn't seen this, thanks a lot!
@@COL321 I see a few locations near me on that website but I've never joined a club before so was curious as to what it means by 'Associate' and 'Premier' clubs? And the green markers that say "Ping!", is that just where there are tables? No worries if you don't know, appreciate the link!
@@maxoys45 Yeah the Ping thing is just a random table usually just out in a park or something, just to give the general public a go. Not sure about the difference between associate and premier clubs, maybe someone else could clarify?
Does any wield it like Ashoka tano?
very true indeed!
