Your content is so good!! 100% agree with your take here. Multiball will also get you in physical shape very fast haha I think the tt community would really benefit from more pros like you making this type of quality content so I hope you continue!!
One of the best, but near the top for inside look of higher-tier player's practice and mindset. Kanak Jha's is also shaping up to be like this. I wish there were more of these channel's and fewer of the nobody-coach videos and their stuff like "easy way to return any serve", and "how to beat long-pips blockers".
Awesome Anders. It's also extremely demanding from a physical perspective. In 2015 - 2016 I had training sessions at the Borussia Düsseldorf and after each 2 hour training session I was TOTALLY rinsed. I was going back home to die in the sofa...
So great to see your footwork so detailed!!! Favourite moment was for sure the "reaction practise" when the coach imitated your wobbeling around during the exercise XDDDDD Little thing about the camera angle, it would be great to see the opposite side of the table to see the lenght of your shots, little thing, but maybe you could check this in future videos. Love your content!
I won't lie, at first I thought you looked boring and snobbish... but... I was completely wrong, today you are for me one of the best interesting players to follow and now I even root for you in games... unless you play against Hugo Calderano, because he is from my country 😁 Congratulations on the wonderful channel!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hello Anders! Just a suggestion: would be great if you would keep the raw training audio without any music I'm sure true fans would love the sound of the ball more than anything Secondly, I recently saw a video where British international badminton players went to play in China and even the badminton training is way more intense than in Europe, and the Chinese pair mentioned that daily massages were a very important part of their routine to recover from all that training. Watching this video itself makes me tired so remembered this fact😁 Thank you so much for the high quality content!
You are right on everything! Multi-balls in my opinion is the foundation of table tennis and it should always be part of the training but training at the table is equally important. When you reach a pro level then as you pointed it out training at the table is more important - ideally with different players!
I'd argue that perfecting your technique will allow better decision making during a match giving you that extra bit of confidence, or even put you in a position to do a shot you would not have tried otherwise. But then again I'm not a pro 😂 Love the vids dude, keep going!
Very interesting insight, ty! For me, having done a lot of regular drills during my first 2 years of training, my biggest weakness is serve/receive. It´s so much harder to learn. If I get into the open game I can hang with much higher ranked players here and there, but tt is mainly first 3 balls, so yeah... I try to play more matches now, but the endless possibility´s make it very hard to improve.
Try to play with the timing on the receive and the serve. Try hitting the serve approximately at net height and not too early, otherwise it bounces too high and you don't get much spin on it. For the receive, many players respond to under spin serves by taking the ball early after the bounce. Try to take them and pendulum serves with side spin/under spin a little bit later. Let somebody serve you the same serve a couple times and then play with your timing and practice a offensive answer (flip/topspin) and a defensive answer (short/half long push) and see what's comfortable for you. This is what helped me to make improvements when I was already playing for a while.
Oh, and one thing many people still miss. Your shots should have a purpose. Don't just serve and hope they can't attack it. Serve to their weaker side or to a spot that limits their answers to shots that benefit you. For example my backhand was stronger against under spin than my forehand, so I used a lot of pendulum serves to forehand and elbow of the opponent since it's hard for them to push to my forehand from there due to the sidepin.
Thanks a for the advice Anders, I can definitely relate a lot because my training used to be multiball exclusively. I improved faster and my technique is generally better than most but my match play and adjusting during matches definitely suffered
I practiced at a greater intensity in the 60's with a (homemade) inverted rubber return-board* . Even the slowest pace was faster, and it was up to 4 drives/second. But it lacked the more real-world dynamic multiball (almost) emulates. One would think this did nothing to improve consistency in actually getting the ball back in a real game, but in practice warming up with players made no difference; relentless counterdriving. This applied to normal opponents. Weird players, awkward serves, and long pips I could barely manage. ____ *placed at net-distance, not at the end. I had a number of return boards for different purposes: inverted rubber, masonite, pressed cardboard (short-range flicks vs short backspin returns), and a sheet of light plywood at the end of the table for chop-like backspin returns.
Thanks for the video really interesting as well as your final considerations. It's like seeing my muliball session just at 10x speed!😂 Thanks for being so nice to share this videos with us. Keep up!💪👍
Not a huge fan of multiball training but when done right it can be very effective. And the multiball in this video is done really well. But similar as training against a robot I feel it's more to learn performing strokes consistently than to learn to play matches.
I think it's great, as long as the emphasis is on training, not 'coaching'. That's what I like about the coach in this video. He's not interrupting with useless chatter or stroke-demonstration. If there's a systematic error in stroke-production, it will get ironed out by... more stroke production.
Beautiful! @AnderslindTT is the best! 💪Could you please position the camera straight (not at an angle) so we can better see how the body should move in details?
Great video! I'd love to do more multiball training but it is hard to find people to do it with. Also I will be watching your match against Borussia Düsseldorf before christmas hopefully you will have a fantastic day!
It's hard at my club because multiball by practice-partners is not permitted. It is coaching/training and requires a paid trainer session. This can be expensive.
Without multiple ball sessions at 3x that time span x 4 days minimum per week, you will struggle physically to beat the Chinese, the Koreans, and the Japanese. It is super essential. Of course getting in record amount of games so as not to lose the natural game and match feel is crucial.
Hi Anders, thank you for this informative video. But I'm asking myself what would be the best way to practice reading serves and practice receives? Unfortunately, none of my training partners are doing serves I might encounter in matches.
Hey Anders, I really appreciate your work, I have been trying to find this kind of video for almost 2 years and especially about Chinese methods, so thanks for providing it. I also have small question: is it recommended to these exercises with multi ball or with the sparing partner? Thanks again👌👌🏓🏓
Interesting that you missed more going from slow to fast than from fast to slow, I'm the complete opposite so often when someone takes all the pace off the ball I go too early and hit a donkey 😅, really nice how you patiently wait for the ball then go
Hello, Anders. If opponent make long push what you advice? Make topspin before highest point - but it is very hard? Or just lift ball right after bounce?
I'm going to wear out my welcome commenting on everything, but if you practice extensively against a backboard (thin plywood) at the far end of the table, you can get very good at intercepting the ball at any point. Even if the push comes right to the edge, you can spin or fast loop or loop-kill right off the bounce. Or... take it late when it is well dropping. This can be devastating against an opponent. They will have no idea what's going to come. One player went back to his coach (or father?) yelling "I can't _stand_ how he plays!" He was getting 3rd-ball destroyed.
Hi Anders i just wanted to share some thoughts on this session with you. I often practise with Bastian Stegers father since we live very close to each other and he often tells very exciting stories. One thing I've noticed being mentioned very often is his critique of High level players only really doing very fast forehand topspins and not so much a very spinny and slower one (kind of like Timo), which leads to a change in rhythm mid game. Is this something that sees a lot of practise in your sessions? I've watched Timos matches in person a few times and the difference of his slow spinny topspins is very noticeable and you can clearly hear that he brushes the ball much finer than any other pro I've witnessed.
@mkwlukas9241 I agree with you 100% for me the reason I only practice fast is that I am very good at the slow one already but not so good in this fast game yet. But you're 100% correct that too many players think power and speed. Instead of spin and placement
Saw it right now in the description. Are you really playing with C2 on both sides? Why not Bluestar? Thought this should be superior to C2 and that you play the A1. Would be great to hear the opinion for your choice and for whom it´s suited (maybe please include also Bluestorm pro / pro am (for you of course too soft) / z1 turbo). (At least for me the C2 was a big disappointment, while A1 / A2 for FH and A2 / A3 for BH were great)
@Mallgar I am indeed playing double c2. I like that it's super grip. But you also need good technique and power to actually get full use of the rubber. For most people I recommend on backhand bluestar a1 due to this
if you would play like this in the matches, you could actually become a top player, coz the shots you showed here were absolute top world class, a game and style you need to beat the best, coz your usual soft and chops here and there won't get those results except if the opponent is not present on this day, but with what you showe here, you could beat anyone at any given day...
Chinese coaches are unmatched on physical conditioning. Maybe European coaches give more tools and variety to the game of the players they are training
Wow your success percentage was amazing until the (IMPOSSIBLE) Reaction Practice section! I'm knackered just watching on my TV😳 Will you keep using that coach? If not please send him to me🙏
So this is the type of training that got WCQ to lose to a 14 year old 😂. While footwork is important i think exercises should be far more match relevant than this. When will you get two shots in a row with the same amount of spin? Or get a ball from the same side of the table 10 times in a row. While this is a work out it also creates muscle memory. Table tennis is 50% muscle 50% finesse and 100% chess
Thanks for watching, everyone! I'll be posting a few videos around Christmas, so make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss them! 😊
I saw you come to Grenzau last Monday with four left-handers in your team and in this video with a left-handed playing coach now. Crazy!😆
