@@markottone We had a division for beginners, intermediates, and really experienced players. I put myself in the intermediate division (I've played tennis for about 15 years so I understood how to use a paddle and put spin and such). I ended up winning that division without losing once. Keeping the balls to the outside with some decent pace really helped me.
This is an important lesson. Our club's coach told us the exact same thing. To prove his point, he beat several of our club's players with his smartphone. Yeah, you read that right. Didn't play a single topspin, just placed the ball in the wide areas and kept us guessing on how to return them. On that note: Something that wasn't shown in the footage, is the push into the wide areas forcing your opponent to move around the table. I've seen highly skilled players struggling to play proper returns once they were forced to move around the corner. It's an angle few are used to play from. Especially those with poor footwork to begin with.
To be honest, a smartphone isn't that bad of a paddle. It fits well in your hand, and the smooth surface gives it a spin reversal effect similar to long pips. If you have a rubber case on it, you can actually get decent spin as well.
Yeah I loved it 😍😍 Sir Tom this is very much helpful My accuracy isn't that good but I became nearly intermediate from beginners with techniques. Played tt from very long but with techniques I improved within a month of regular practice with your videos and coach
Good points this is something that most coaches don't emphasize enough! Even though the ball may only go 5 or 6cm wider that makes so much difference. I was doing a drill with my coach and he was blocking he placed every ball right at the corner or end line and it was very difficult to play
Now I just need a 10 by 10 meter room to play in. You guys play so fast ^_^ I noticed the man with the shiniest head plays very evil balls in the video's I've seen him in. I like his style a lot.

good point but here is something to consider while doing this: why does timo boll for example plays into the middle of the table very often? its easier for yourself to start attacking because its harder for your opponent to place the ball far out of the table. for example: you place far in his backhand its almost impossible that you get a ball back far into your forehand but at the same time its easier for him to play a ball far out of the table on your backhand side. and for the middle: its more likely that your epponent doesnt play huge angles
My placement is my biggest issue. I can’t for the life of me make the ball go where I want it, unless it’s a serve. Yet I win most games I play at work just by chopping and a good forehand smash.
Muchas gracias por el vídeo. En mi caso yo he hecho mucho multibolas sin prestar atención a este aspecto y mis bolas van a sitios cómodos siendo fácilmente atacable. Entrenaré duro esto.
Hy Tom , return to basics is points in the bank. Suggestion : can you decorticate the basics of each successfull player , like for example just to name a few : Timo/Waldner/Ma Long ...i mean they all win but every one has a unique profile , some seems to work hard to achieve while others does it effortlessly (at least in appearance). Thanks for sharing.
Hi Tom, I am a relative beginner; would you still recommend the Bribar flared, 2.0? Also, your lessons are the best, but I would love a one to one with a tutor, but there seem to be none near me in Portsmouth. Can you help?
Signed up for a tournament at school and doing some quick learning the night before, wish me luck.
Good luck! Go smash them.
How did you do

Tom I cant thank you enough! Just started Table tennis after almost 15 years of break. Your videos are simply awesome and inspiring.
It worked. I had been losing consistently to my sons and just aiming for those regions of the board helped (still losing but gaining traction!).
I find these tips really useful. Thank you so much. I am gonna defeat my classmates in table tennis at school tomorrow :)
Please make a video on chopping the ball
I am asking this from a long time
Please sir
Yh that could be a video I'll watch
Yes pls make a vid with chopping
Just watch Joo Sae-Hyuk in slow motion
Sharpen the bat.

Tom's videos have helped me a lot to learn the basics of TT. The explanation is very good and easy to follow.
Crazy nice dressing Tom ! They say in business the 3 keys : location/location/location.Thanks.
Очень полезные рекомендации, особенно для начинающих теннисистов! Спасибо.
Nice coaching Tom. I like the way you explain the techniques. It makes it quite interesting and fun way to learn. Thanks.
I’m going to try this next week. Thanks for making this. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much, Tom! Greetings from Bulgaria! ;))
Thanks, I love your incisive tutorial.i'm motivated to give a try.however, I would love to see your tutorial on backhand drill.i'm so poor on that.
Thank you
On a previous video, you called those middle areas as “Buckets”, right? Still great tips! Thanks.
Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you for the tip. Sound's logic! I will try it
Thanks ❤
Thank You very much, I'll try
Thank you Tom. I benefit your videos a lot.

Hey thanks for the video
thanks for sharing your knowledge Tom...
and a little thing to be improved is your echoing voice
A consequence of the table tennis hall design
it worked very well thanks
Yes this is true, but placing the ball there is hard ... I will propably miss half my shots
Just practice and you can do it
@@tabletenniswithabp3468 I do practice my friend :) alot
Maybe more than half also
@@gerokatseros i think you should change the way you do it idk but it worked for me
Same

Thank you very much Tom, very helpful tips and very effective..

Well there is some good advice but a lot of it isn't for an absolute beginner like myself
Thanks for your videos! Are great!

Thank you.
Thanks from turkey
Usual excellent video with especially important lesson on ball placement. Love these type videos, please Tom keep them coming. Well done.
Nice!
Thank wery much
Tom, what is your advice for developing that side-to-side hopping movement - (for seniors; don’t laugh)
You need an 11.5 min video to tell us to aim at the edges of the table?
Great advice.
How do you play someone that flips between inverted and long pips?
Having some trouble with choppers can we get video on how to trouble choppers with our topspin please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Put the ball in a proper place :-) In fact the goal is not to win a point with a single shot
haha
topspin boy

Thank youuuuu
Nice lesson! You're doing a good job
:) PS: echo cancellation goes a long way
