Coach Eddie - your technical details are just so valuable. The information about the grip in different fingers is so key. The postions from the feel, knees, arm angle, shoulder, wrist starting position - the shot will never be consistent without this type of understanding. So valuable. I hit my first forehand flick in a tournament recently - my first 'work' tournament and the ball just went BOOM, and I just giggled. So fun.
@@dublintabletennisclub Not yet although I am trying. Fort Worth having a multi national championship winning college here (Texas Wesleyan University), seemingly has no local clubs or play. I found some north and in Dallas, just have to pull the trigger. I'm training basics with the robot at home. Fortunately at work there is a high level player with some serious skills and a intermediate that loves to drill more than play.
TT is hard, if you can’t read the rotational motion to tell the spin, you got to be so focused on when your opponent returns the ball. How they contact the ball tells you what type of spin is coming back. Normally short or long push is fast with very little to no spin. Underspin is usually slow. Most top spins are fast unless it’s a slow spiny topspin like Timo’s sometimes.
Great video. I've actively working on that shot. I tend to still block when I'm not thinking that much about it - I have a actively remind myself (force myself) to flick. Opponent shot that gives me the most trouble is opponent's hard looping attack to my backhand (being left-handed means I get the hardest loop returns from opponent with their forehand loop crosscourt to my backhand). But, that also means I also have a strong forehand crosscourt shot to their backhand.
Yeah it’s definitely a “force of habit” buildup to use it in a game. Yeah and how’s your backhand block going? I wish I could do a blocking tutorial / tactical training etc, but I need an extra player for that. Do your best trying to block to their backhand and throw them off balance and finish it with your strong forehand How did the weekend tournament go for you?
@@dublintabletennisclub I played pretty well. Won some matches and lost others. All matches were best of 5 games. Played 7 matches (27 games). First official USATT tournament for me since some time in 2019 so it took me a bit to get up to speed. Hoping to start playing in tournament once a month now as long as Covid does not flare up too much here in the States. Good news is I'm vaccinated. Bad news is 45% in my State are not. Backhand blocking is good. Also had no issue controlling anyone's spin. Forehand cross-court attack (loop and smash) worked well. I should have attacked more often (sometimes I just seem to enjoy rallies so much I don't go for an easy kill shot). Thanks again for getting my order to me so quickly - hopefully others will start ordering through your eBay site.
Great to hear that :) I should make a visit to your side of the world and coach you for an upcoming tournament :) But, it all sounds positive for now and yeah make the habit to be more aggressive. Tournament from now on will get harder and harder as others can go back to training etc etc.
Actually , I am an intermediate player and my sevice portion is little weak and I want to learn ghost serve and the serve which are hard to recive ;-):-)
That’s very good, but also quite ambitious. The reverse pendulum / pendulum and backhand serve can have like 4-6 different spin variants and placements on the table :)
What a great video. I have a problem man. When I serve short ball with back spin, I have difficulty in differentiating wither the returnd ball has backspin or empty of spin (the 3rd ball). can you make a video analyzing this problem? Thanks bro keep up the good work 😍
Thanks Ahmed :) Yeah sure can, but for now the best advice I have for you realize how much spin is on the ball. Cause if you feel like the ball you made is quite spinny then your opponents chop will still have your spin on it :) Meaning the chop most times will be slow and shorter to the net. If you spin with light / flat effect then you can already know the ball returning won't be THAT spinny even if your opponent chops it back. It more or less will be middle / long on the table and you can use your Forehand flick / topspin to counter it :)
Yeah in the perfect world of the timing and smooth arm follow through it does :) Worst case scenario it moves a little less than you would hope for, but that is because the arm is misbalanced by putting to much force on it.
I am using Royal series STIGA racket :) It is a build in full racket! That is our eBay store below where you can see it more in detail :) www.ebay.ie/itm/353260171355?hash=item523ff2705b:g:o9cAAOSwgU5fnCaO

Haha brilliant!! Have you taken your training outside of work and into a club yet?

As always, great tutorial with nice explanation 👍.
Yeah?!! Something like this for a backhand version would work for you? :)
wow nice tips, thanks!
Loved your tutorial, by the way which racket you're using???

nice video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
Coach , can you please make a video on easy killer services tutorial :-)
Which serve you would want? And do you mean when the serve is long to your forehand side?

thanks, Learn to develop your forehand flick at a higher advance level
If the ball is higher than you usually attack then be confident and apply more speed than spin. Just end the rally :)
So you say that ball rolls over the rubber when you create a spin, correct?
Yeah in the perfect world of the timing and smooth arm follow through it does :) Worst case scenario it moves a little less than you would hope for, but that is because the arm is misbalanced by putting to much force on it.
@@dublintabletennisclub Well, I encourage you to re-think your statement above about ball rolling.
May I know the blade n rubbers of your racket pls
