Hello, I really enjoy all of your videos. I wonder if you can talk about how to speed up the swing in a backhand loop. Hop you can adress this problem in a future video, so all of the players watching can get a efficent backhand without to much effort and tenstion from muscles with actually slows down the sving.
The trick that finally got me to start doing forehand pivots in matches, is always doing a cross over step like hop when I hit the ball. By doing that I end up landing right about where I was before turning the corner which makes it feel a ton safer and less committal. Makes your positioning absolutely perfect if your opponent blocks down the line, and if they go cross court you can just turn the corner again.
@@zizo015 A crossover step is when your legs cross as you step towards the ball allowing you to cover a much bigger distance in a single step. With the forehand crossover step you can actually take your backswing first and than execute a loop while jumping a large distance. I've mostly seen this technique be called a Chinese cross over step if you want to look it up. I try and always do a smaller version after turning the corner (stepping around the backhand corner to take a forehand shot). With the slight hop to the right, I land right around where I started and don't have to reposition after the shot. This makes it easy to keep attacking if they block to my forehand corner.
@@brycemeade6578 After the FH on a corner turn, your weight is forward (towards net), land 80/20 on left leg, push off, get back to ready. Is this the point where you adjust and hop back into your starting position before you corner turned? I don't know if I would call this a 'cross over step like hop'. Unless I'm missing your point. Which is totally possible!
I really like your videos. I have a mistake when playing table tennis that can't be fixed forever: there is no side rotation and no foot force, so the ball hits less spin and the ball is light. Could you please help me to fix this error. thank you
daniel, you're amazing. i'm am curious tho, it the first hop simultaneous with the loop, or a fraction of a second after? i never actually saw the student execute the hop.
What if after your backhand, the opponent block your BH shot down to the line to your the far end of your FH? So I usually hesitate to do the combo based on my observation. I usually do like a combo but after few intermediate matches, I start to think more about when to use it. This works for first few times of combo and your opponent will try to aim for down to the line. This works pretty well for beginner games/matches because beginner blocks are not great.
If your opponent blocks down the line to your FH side you have to do cross over footwork to cover it (as mentioned by Dan). I agree, you cannot abuse this combo too much especially if your opponent is good at reading your movement and has fast reaction time. I will recommend instead training to reduce the time it takes for you to pivot. So you can delay your pivot a bit after you're quite sure the ball is coming to your BH side.
And don’t forget the intel you gather over the course of a match. You’re right: “what if the backhand goes down the line” is a consideration. You’re trading of that risk in favour of a powerful forehand strike. You can reduce that risk through observation. You might have noticed, for example, that when under pressure your opponent usually blocks cross court off the backhand. Or they might have just missed a couple of BH shots down the line, and you suspect they are nervous about it. Or maybe you hit a couple of spectacular winners FH winners earlier, and they seem to be avoiding your FH. Recognising you’ve left an opening is important - but not all openings are equal because the history of the match will influence whether an opening will be exploited.
@@rolypolyraccoon9242 It's really the same thing with the corner turn for FH opening. Most righty push cross court off underspin. Exploit by turning corner after delivering underspin to opponent's BH, ball returns crosscourt, you are prepped for FH opening. But you have to do your 'research'.
very interesting. i have been watching this channel and using your ideas a lot. thanks for the content. i have a question. when you play a forehand do you really only focus on how the ball contacts the rubber and not watch the trajectory after you hit it?
@@roadtopro3038 I like the prcess of hitting it as late as possible as it forces your stroke to be efficient! My consistency is still a bit lower than I would like but most of my training partners like swinging hard at the ball and it is diffichlt to predict the quality
This uncle improve a lot🤣🤣🤣
Amazing lesson, thanks for sharing
Top quality videos, really appreciate them
Keep it up coach 🔥

Could you explain this again? What do, our mean by doing a cross over step like a hop? And do you mean it when playing the backhand open up?

Great thank you! You are making very important videos that will allow us to win more matches

It’s like at the same time. Think the rotational/vertical energy comes from the feet first then transfers towards the paddle
Great advice but how do you play against spoilers, little. Backspin, mainly floats with either long or short positions often with side spin.
High ball, kill. Low side spin, drive and placement.
Perfect😍👍

You could, but make sure you watch till the ball contacts the rubber
@@roadtopro3038 thank! I find it really difficult at the moment to do this. Maybe i should practice in shorter bursts to train my eyes to keep it up.
@@bronzong91 don’t turn the head quickly and all the way to look at the ball, it may give you a dizziness slightly.

The student has bad habit going to side instead diagonal
Impractical for a elderly amateur to pactise this movement...
whar is elderly? I'm 60
