I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel a while back. After years of bad footwork I decided to fix it. After half a year of hardly any real table tennis training but daily footwork drills such as these sidesteps (because of personal reasons), I've actually increased a whole level in competition after 3 years of staying in the same league! Wouldn't have believed it if someone would have claimed that at the start.
As always ur tips r excellent. A very unique approach to learning footwork. What r ur thoughts on using rebound board for improving footwork and brushing the ball on forehand and backhand. I built one using my old rubbers and it seems to have helped me imensly.
Kevin s pleasure and thank you 🙏 I have never used a rebound board but I’ve seen a few use it and they seem to enjoy it. Naturally a human being is better or a robot but I think any ball play has and will have benefits
@@ebatt8803 I do have a Newgy robot but it is NOT their top tier one , I find it too monotonous and at times boring. I use the rebound board in combination of the robot with a larger delay of say 5 secs and it helps me with practicing 3rd ball/4th ball attack. Agree nothing beats a inperson practice, however I use it to work on certain skills like loop against back spin
The saying (keep on your toes) actually has nothing to do with being on your toes. It is used exclusively to be ready. E.g. the enemy is approaching, KEEP ON YOUR TOES TO BE READY.
Correct it is used for that, yet it’s an incorrect working for your brain to trigger its. For example if I say don’t think of a red elephant. Most likely your brain will think of a red or at least an elephant. Meaning your brains triggers according to words not the meaning. Another example “is don’t miss” instead you should be saying get the ball on… Nevertheless I do understand what you’re saying and mean…
Good video, but when you start a sidestep, always start with the leg that is in the direction of the movement. Never, never, never do normal sidesteps where the first step results in both legs being very close together. As the legs should always be more than shoulder-width apart, this is only possible if you start with the leg facing the movement. The reason for this is that in practice you also have to react to situations in which the ball is placed on your body unexpectedly and out of your own movement. If your legs are close together at this point because you are doing a (wrong) sidestep, you cannot react appropriately. However, this is possible if your legs are always more than shoulder-width apart.
All wonderful points but in simple terms, when I provide information on here, it’s generic and true footwork development needs to be tailored. For for example a defensive player requires different footwork patterns and stance. Your height must be taken into account, your feet, do you have flat feet or an arch? So do you best to take these drills and tailored it according to your specific needs/requirements
Lol love it, and very wise words. Luckily for me since covid I’ve moved house and have wooden floor to do footwork 👌🤗. I’m also blessed with my own full time tt centre that has Olympic flooring to play our beautiful sport and do some good footwork 🙌🏓
Congrats on innovative HOME footwork drills with tennis balls.
@@getsmartpaul thank you for your kind words…

Hi, I can hear steady banging at all hours coming from my neighbour's place. She told me to talk to you. Not happy.
Lol 😂 it’s true, it’s all my fault 🤦♂️
It’s for a good cause so find it in your heart to forgive 🤗🙌🏓

Footwork on carpet is nearly impossible. Hopefully your TT games are played on wood or concrete.
