What is the first stroke that you should learn in table tennis? It is none other than the forehand drive. In this video I will break down the positioning, where to stand, and how to move your body. The forehand drive teaches you the fundamentals of feeling the ball, placement, stroke mechanics, timing, and weight transfer. Even the pros still use the forehand drive to warm up before an intense match. If you have just started playing table tennis, learn this stroke well before moving on to anything else.

This is shortest yet best explanation for FH drive technique. A very simple way to learn it. Thank you.
What a great compliment. Thank you for your feedback.
I love your channel and i hope you keep going. You are helping us beginners so much, thank you!
This is the exact reason I started the channel. Thank you for watching. There is more to come =)
Please make more videos again. I just started, and wanted to learn new things, and your channel really helps me. Also: what racket should I get if I’m all over, and want a lot of spin and a bit of speed? Even if your not making more videos, thank you very much for this one, and all of the others!
Hi, thank you for your videos; I found them to be very informative and clear to follow. I started out a few months ago, as my 9 year old son Luca joined a table tennis club at school and I thought that it’d be a good sport to do together. We got ourselves some decent bats, and a good robot. Luca was recently invited to participate to an under-15 TT tournament at the local TT club and, after doing very well, the chairman of the club persuaded me to join the club as he would give Luca one-to-one coaching at no charge. Apparently Luca has potential, so what was a hobby is turning now into an exciting and fun journey.
Thank you G R! I’m cheering you and Luca on from the United States! Free coaching too?! He must be something special! I imagine this sport is a great way for you and your son to bond as well. Thanks for sharing :)
For a person who started at 2018, you have progressed very fast and have real talent in this game. Simply superb!
I really appreciate the recognition. I'm just a guy who loves this game! Thanks for watching.
Just came across your video today. One of the best explanation. My loop really improved
Thank you and I am so happy for you!
Thanks to your videos when I do start playing I’ll have an edge 👍🏻👍🏻
Michael, I hope you go out there and have a great time. Let me know if I can help along the way.
I have been playing TT for a very long time and I played ping pong quite a few years before that. I learned TT my freshman year in college (1962) at San Francisco State from a guy from England. He taught me the basic strokes (forehand and backhand drives, blocking, pushing, and chopping) and serving. The most important thing that he taught me was tactics and I am still refining my chops. What is the difference between TT and ping pong for me. For me it is rubber and spins. But, my game has lagged because, at the time I learned the basic strokes, there wasn't anything called a loop and spins were less dramatic because the high-tech rubber hadn't been developed yet. I appreciate your tutorials (especially the one on forehand loop) because you have a clear and straight forward explanation of the techniques and excellent videos of the those techniques. Well done and thank you. I feel confident that I can take aspects of my game to a new level. I would appreciate a couple of videos on tactics and game plans. Thank you.
Wow Roland. Thanks for sharing your story. You’re a veteran of the game! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I know the addition of the sponge really turned the game upside down. For the better of course. You know, tactics are one of the parts of my game that I am very average with, however, I can put some ideas down on paper and see what I can do for you!
You are so articulate and to the point. No extra noise. Helping a beginner like me a lot! I see you are using a robot to practice. Perhaps you can make a video comparing these machines to help beginners. Thanks!
Hello Arindam! Thanks for your kind words. Please let me know if I can be if any help and be sure to subscribe! I will be comparing the robot to a return board soon!
This channel is awesome, subscribed and keen for more videos
Thanks Jimmy. Currently shaking off the Covid blues. I’ll get back in saddle soon.
I love your content , lucid instructions... please keep going with focus and intention :)... you will grow surely...cheers
You're very much appreciated. I'll be starting up again soon. How's the playing going these days?
I think there is a dearth of good English-language table tennis channels, especially compared to Japanese and Korean content I've come across. It would be great to see you produce more content!
Eugene, pleasure to meet you! I sincerely appreciate your support. I plan to produce more videos in the near future.
Great stuff, been playing for 45 years, really need a loop now, ha!
You and me both! LOL. Thanks for watching Jim.
Great video! Very clear and understandable instructions. I personally would love a video about counter-topspinning with the forehand. In your channel describtion I read that you started playing table tennis in 2018. It's crazy how good you became in about two and a half years. You have a very clean technic and a fantastic understanding of the game itself. I'm a big fan of your channel. I just found your channel a few weeks ago and subscribed directly. I hope to see more from you in the future.
Thanks Jan. I found that surrounding myself with other motivated players was the most helpful part of my progress. Looking forward to talking table tennis with you going forward.
Best,
Jin Jeon
Gracias amigo as despejado muchas dudas e mejorado mi golpe gracias a tus videos eres de mucha ayuda comp quisiera que estuvieras en mi país para tomar clases contigo abrazos desde el salvador centro america
You have good videos. Was in the air force we play ping pong like crazy.
I always think about Forrest Gump when I hear of ping pong and the service in the same story. Thank you for your service sir and enjoy the game! I appreciate you viewing. Feel free to subscribe
You should definitely be more than a TH-camr 👌👌💙💙🏓🏓
You’re too kind!
I see your UofM sign (go blue!). Are you near Ann Arbor? We are in Chelsea. Happy to play some games some time.
Just started. Your explanation is perfect-better than the $120 I paid for the lesson.
Thank you Lillian. This makes me happy to hear. How were you introduced to table tennis?
can you make a video showing what kind of basic shots there are (drive, loop, spin,.....block) and when to use them.
how to practice with a partner. what to do first and after and after. like drive first after loop or what. should one block when the other does drive, loop or else? we just play but don't really improve
Hi. I'm thinking about doing these lessons in short form content. Stay tuned!
This Chanel is great, i am waiting for new videos
Thank you Gió. I hope to start producing videos again soon. I have been very busy with my day job lol.
Jin, hi! Thanks a lot for you videos. I wonder if you could shoot a demonstration of the difference between backhand drive and backhand topspin in terms of the wrist/forearm movement shooting from different angles.
Hi Andy! I think this can be fixed easily. The wrist is not active on the backhand drive. Hang your elbow naturally, and bring your forehand back, then drive it forward. Feel the ball sink into the backhand rubber and guide it to where you want to place it on the table. There's no brushing with the drive. It is about 90-95% contact. Bat angle is also 45 degrees. The axis of rotation is your elbow.
I know that's a lot, but I will be making a backhand drive video soon. In fact over the next two months I will be posting lessons on the following: forehand push, forehand touch, backhand drive, and the backhand push.
Hope this helps =)
@@Technical.Table.Tennis Jin, thanks a lot for such a detailed response. Much appreciate it. I have been training in table tennis for half a year. So obviously i got a lot of trivial questions. But due to covid circumstances now i train just on my own. As far as i understand table tennis technique is full of nuances and details.
Your explanation is pretty clear. I have been watching a lot of videos, and as far i can see there are different ways to do the same elements in table tennis. The principles are common, but the manner of performance may be different.
For one in the following videos the wrist movement is utilized.
th-cam.com/video/ZLEZc0k__7A/w-d-xo.html (timeperiod - 0:30)-
th-cam.com/video/p0_RJHJA1Zs/w-d-xo.html (timeperiod - 1:45)
th-cam.com/video/p0_RJHJA1Zs/w-d-xo.html (from the beginning)
Is this a backhand drive as well?
I'm looking forward to see your next videos. I'm sure these will be very helpful to me.
Lots of great examples here. I think Lee Sangsu is definitely doing the drive. He is utilizing his wrist. Same with the second video. Depending on whether you have good ball placement or not, I would only activate the wrist when you feel confident about it. The third video looks like it has examples of the drive and loop kill with the backhand. I can say with confidence that the distinguishing characteristic of the drive is the thick contact vs the brushing you find with topspin and loops.
@@Technical.Table.Tennis Jin, Thanks for your explanation. Much appreciate it!
Incredible teacher!
Thanks brotha!!!
What a great Chanel!!!!
Thank you Baltazar!
Great video
Thanks Jordan. I hope this helps you get into the game. Table tennis gets better the longer you play!
@@Technical.Table.Tennis thanks this video has definitely help me a lot hope you post a new video soon because your videos are super helpful
Thanks Jordan. It's been too long since my last post so I plan to release more videos soon =)
Where do you recommend buying equipment from? Is there a large website that distributes many different brands? Also where can I buy yasaka products because I can not find an official website
Hi Jin, great videos and especially needed during this pandemic. My skills definitely weaker as my clubs have shut down and the only clubs left are the ones with expensive memberships. Luckily, I have a table and a robot at home to practice but I feel like the best partner to practice is with a real person.
Just a quick questions for you if I can.
1) I play Chinese pen-hold with reverse backhand, is this forehand drive, topspin etc. still be able to use for pen-holders or is this more mainly for shake-handers?
2) I have a hard time beating choppers, especially when they chop or push to my backhand side, especially with a hard skill with the reverse backhand, it is difficult for me to return. Any tips or future videos on beating choppers or long-pimple players?
3) I would love for you to play against a pen-holder (JPEN or CPEN) or videos on them! I know pen-holders isn't as popular in the competitive scene right now besides a few but I'd like to preserve this style and keep the sport always interesting.
Hello Sazuya and thank you for your questions. I too would rather play against real people. My club has been closed for almost a year now.
1. The concept of the forehand drive and loop is still the same for C-pen. Though your grip is different, you transfer your weight the same, swing front to back the same, and contact the ball at the same height.
2. I think the best way to combat someone pushing or chopping to your backhand is to stop them from doing it. This could be by serving and hitting the ball more to the middle or their deep forehand (assuming you are both right handed). As you play penhold, this should be your goal; to cover 90% of the table with your forehand. To further protect returns to your backhand, drill stepping around the backhand corner and looping/driving the ball. Be sure to mix up your serves to keep your opponent guessing as well.
3. I have a friend that plays penhold. It's always a joy to watch pen holders. My friend that plays penhold is a city away, but when my local clubs open back up I plan to film more videos of gameplay. I will be sure to film some games against him.
Pleasure to meet you Sazuya. Hope this helps!
Great video and technique! Thanks - I just play on VR - Racket Fury
Rock on!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
About 6 months and in Maine my friend Jason Wei had a club
What happened to his club?
Can I ask what is the difference between forehand drive, loop, and topspin? I don't understand how they differ from each other.
Yes you can. Drive is through the ball and the stoke trajectory is horizontal. Loop starts low, around the knee, and moves diagonal forward and the stroke ends near the eyebrow (brush is heavy creating a lot of spin). The forehand topspin is literally midpoint of the other two strokes.
Great video, keep it up
Thanks Bigali. Glad you liked it!
Hey Jin, I want to have a table tennis table at home, but I'm afraid of damaging the walls. Do you have some sort of protection? Did you have any issues with wall plaster? Thanks
I like your thoughts on the Chinese rubber. My input: beginners with bad technique will believe they are creating spin correctly when in fact the stickiness of the Chinese rubber is doing all of the work. Leading to flawed stroke mechanics. A medium tacky rubber will require use of the body, a completely loose arm and a full elbow snap to complete high-quality loops.
Hi! Amazing explaination!! Which blade would you suggest between stiga allround classic, yasaka sweden classic, butterfly jonyer H 2? Does stiga blades have a hollow sound while hitting, like kind of playing with just a wooden plank?
Yes stiga sounds and feels hollow. That's actually why I like the Sweden more lol. Thank you for watching.
Awesome vid but what robot are you, using? Ipong v300?
Thank you Viraj =). It is the iPong Trainer Pro. Not bad for $180 USD
@@Technical.Table.Tennis thanks for the reply but I just got the same one recently!!!
Thank you so much for the tutorials. I am 34 now but so sad introduced to this beautifull sport like two years ago playing for fun with friends. I learned every stroke with mistakes now i have about 6 months taking some lessons but i have so many mistakes due to bad strokes i learned before. Wish i was younger to learn every aspect of table tennis in the right way. I want to take place on competitions some people keep saying that can still learn perfect no matter the age. Firstly I have difficulties with handling the racket my two fingers have developed blisters because of tightening cannot keep it loose. Secondly i have problems with topsin cannot make it consistently my stroke is bad. Please can you make a video expaining how to hanlde the racket loosely ? Am i too old to learn perfectly table tennis. Sorry for the long message any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Redi. I'm glad you've found my videos helpful. It is never to0 late to learn how to play. I started at the age of 28. When you grip the paddle pretend you're holding an egg. If you squeeze it too tightly, it will crack. Bruce lee once talked about punching. He would keep his arm loose through the entire punch and would clench his fist right before impact. Table tennis is the same. Swing loosely and tighten your grip a millisecond before impact with the ball. You'll find that your hits will become faster, and higher quality. If your grip and arm is stiff through the entire stroke, you won't feel the ball either. You can do it!
@@Technical.Table.Tennis Thank you so much for your reply and your help. I will try to implement your suggestion. Keep going with your tutorials. Will be waiting for your next video. Best regards bro.
Best Wishes to you Redi. Talk to you soon!
Great tut👍but slightly more light above the table tennis table would be great.
It was dark wasn’t it lol?!

Hi friend, nice video
Thanks @Trini Can Cook!
Where are you bro :( We want to see more videos in this channel plz comeeee ;-;
Hi Mustafa! Thanks for your support. I have to shake off the covid blues and start making more videos. Sorry for the delay my friend!
Good afternoon. I liked your lessons, I would like only subtitles in Russian
Thank you. I would if i knew how to translate. I’m so sorry
Hi, i think you know me. for more hitting power first turn your hip forward, then turn upper body.
I sure do and I look forward to talking more about table tennis with you. Your feedback is appreciated Andreas!
@@Technical.Table.Tennis sorry you dont :) you turn hip and upper body at same time. Try it out slowly, you will get a korkscrew feeling in your spine if done well. then u will know what i mean, trust me.
Sorry if you do, i didnt see it. Great Job.
@@andreasmayr5876 Maybe in in my head hahahahahaha. I'll keep your tip in mind!
When I said "I sure do," I meant I am familiar with you lol.
what pingpong robot are you using?
@darkwing I am using the iPong Trainer Pro
Great!!!!!!
Thank you!
What is your setup?
Hello! My setup is a secret. Just kidding! I have a Xiom Offensive S with Yasaka Razka 7 2.0 on BH and DHS H3 Neo 2.15
when is more content coming?
Hi Freddie. I hope to start up again soon. It's been hard because of my day job keeping me busy lol. I will be better!
Has any Indian started over 25+ and participated in nationals
I don’t know about that. I will say to reach national level you likely needed to start playing before the age of 14 and should have received a fair amount of professional coaching. At 25 you can win state and regional tournaments within 3-4 years if you get coaching early and regularly.
Thankyou recently developed interest in this game hope will carry on
