Love this format! I think the lessons are especially potent with your own gameplay to analyze. The guy you're playing is close to the level of opponents I often play and I think simplifying my game like you did here should make it easier to move past them. Looking forward to the other two games!
This is actually pretty good strategy. I faced many opponents at my club this way. While I am better at almost everything, they usually have some techniques (usually serves, or smashing topspin ball) that they do really well (and weird). If I get freaked out, or obssessed too much about their strenth or weird techniques, I might even lose the match. If I just stop and think for a moment on how to receive this weird server, practice it during the match a little, then it turns out that I can beat them pretty easily. Another situation is that, since I am not at pro level, I have flaws in my game. If someone is bellow my level, but they have the right shots that exploit my flaw, I might lose as well. But once I fix just that one flaw in my game. I am several points ahead of them. (E.g: yesterday, a guy keep serving fast no-spin ball right to my elbow. It was akward, and and I had to go back home, turn on my robot and keep practicing looping this ball by backhand, and pivot move)
Thank you for the tips. I always try too hard, I guess that we watch too many TT tournaments and we want to be like the pros, worrying about the form and having deadly serves that give you ace points. Third ball attacks (or 5th) are key for winning, I am just not fast enough to react to ball placement when I do short no-spin serves. Also, if you don't have a wide variety of techniques in your arsenal (flicks, good backhand loops, slow loops...), it's hard to attack your serve's return. But you're right, a simple strategy is a good one, but only if you can follow up and you're quick. There's a player in one of the clubs in our league who rarely loses a match and he basically has 1 serve (no spin short to forehand), so I know that this strategy really works.
No worries man Also keep in mind we often watch more highlights than a full real match, which consists of A LOT of cheap quick points the majority of the time The highlights keeps the content watchable for people in this day and age where the attention Span is lower
@@heminghu1434 true. I notice that when I make a "highlights" video of my match nights or tournaments, they have more visits, no one wants to watch me or the opponents putting services on the net or out.
Hi Heming, I see that you are receiving a lot from your forehand and for any offensive player that is the right strategy. However, will it be okay to setup the point by not pivoting on your backhand corner and first using your backhand and then going with forehand in the open rally? I find it very demanding and confusing if I have to pivot or use forehand from backhand corner. Specially, if I am receiving.
@@XDJono a lot of the coaches at training camps that were compulsory for me to attend, had that I enjoyed self practice where I organised training with my own partner, way more than being part of a group training situation where I always thought the sessions were never individually tailored to players at all
Heming. You’re just too good vs this guy. I understand doing the basic stuff, but without your quality topspins, footwork to get to your forehand, this is VERY hard to do. Us mortal amateurs can only hope to be half as good as you. Great video and thanks for sharing.
@heminghu1434 he could be a strong 1500. Good smashers or good choppers tends to beat other 1500 easily because 1500 don’t have good enough spin to handle them. USATT 1800-1900 knows proper looping techniques, rarely use smashes unless it’s a kill ball and they definitely will not hit a homerun on every of your spinny loop. We have a professional player turned coach at our club too so yours is definitely not a spin that they’ve never seen before.
Well. Correction. His rank was never anywhere near you but at you guys level, there isn’t a huge difference. I don’t know much about him but I know he has played Quadri Aruna and he didn’t get completely destroyed.
This is the most 🔥 content ever! You are a table tennis coach genius! Please never stop making awesome content like this! 🏓👍 Thanks so much Heming! 🙏
@@BrianGriffin-u1p thank you so much Brian! I will not stop this kind of content ❤️
You must add new rule - no pivot attack
Actual great tips, thank you so much!

This video helped me a lot thanks
@@Thomasnguyen100 my pleasure man
Love it man
At the end are you saying that your coach made you do the wrong drills and instead just to focus on serve and receive?

Why is everyone always underestimating USATT? This is definitely ~1500 USATT and not 1800-1900.
@@kenji2787 no, I have students that are 1500 USATT and know they are definitely getting beat easily by this guy
From what I've seen that is pretty spot on. approx 300-350 different

You can rate someone based on one match against a pro? Wow... such arrogance.
