WOW I m a Table Tennis Trainer from Germany and i have seen many Player who called himself an advanced Player who do some of this mistakes. Every Tip that you internalize, will get you to a new level of play.
Excellent video, and I especially liked the line of play part. I didn't see that important topic covered in any other video, even when I searched for it, so it would be nice if you could make a longer dedicated video just on that topic.
Hello Alen and thank you for watching! Yes, I could go on for days about the line of play because it really is that important. I didn't plan to go more in depth, but I think you might be onto something there.
Great video(s)! I have just started playing again this year after not playing TT for more than 20 years. And yes, I made all the mistakes mentioned in your video. Also one of my (re-)beginner-mistakes was to hold the bat too tight and too high up the handle. This severely limited the movement in my wrist and cost me a lot of control. I am sure a lot of beginners suffer from this too. Keep on the good work (and please vote...)!
Pleasure to meet you. I’m glad you are back at it and that the video helped. Choking to high up the bat handle is definitely a dexterity issue. Great point!
Hey, I have seen a few of your videos and the quality and content is amazing! I highly recommend getting an actual mic and you will have a very professional production! Great work
Been playing around 15 years and recently completed my first coaching course - found this content quite relatable for the juniors I help. Only query on the first point - I recently had a better player and higher level coach tell me it's a mistake to go back into the ready position on a forehand pendulum serve, explaining that you're putting that side spin on the ball to encourage the ball to come back to your backhand area, so ideally you want to hit the 3rd ball on your forehand. Found this interesting as, I had always returned to the ready position but then often get caught out when having to hit a backhand 3rd ball - often frustratingly where I should be putting it away (and would on my forehand).
You often see players like Ma Long do a pendulum serve and then pivot left to hit a big forehand 3rd ball attack. The idea is that if your forehand loop is your strongest stroke, you should use the sidespin you generate with your serve to anticipate the big forehand 3rd ball attack. If you were doing a reverse pendulum serve you would want to pivot to the right quite significantly.
It's a valid point for sure! For me the return placement is never guaranteed. I guess it comes down to if you are a backhand or forehand dominant player
Hi Jin Joen, thank you for your short and very clear explenations. I've seen a lot of TT-tutorials and I find your tips and explenations are exceptional. I started late with table tennis (>50) and my "mistake" is the habit to stay like a rock behind the table.
You're very welcome! Footwork is the least intuitive part of this game, but now that you recognize it, get those feet moving! Thanks for reaching out and nice to meet you =)
I'm glad, I found this channel. Are all of your tips are really helpful and exactly what I was looking for. Had my first practice tonight and even before the practice I knew, my footwork is shit. The line of play really helps, but I don't get the opponent can only hit those parts. Can't he/she just use spin for other angles?
Reto, I'm glad to hear you're getting into the game. You're absolutely right about being able to bend the angle of the ball with spin, but knowing the line of play gives you a good general idea of where to recover after you make your shot.
Sorry about the autocorrect, Jin. Our numbers in Kenya continue to be low. Thank heavens, cos our government is so corrupt. If the numbers went up we’d all be toast.
I am so thankful to hear that the country has been successful in muffling the virus. The US is finally making progress in lowering the overall cases as well. I hope we all overcome this pandemic and can start anew. Have you lived in Kenya your whole life Eric?
Very good points. I'm not beginner, but I make these mistakes. I would add more points: (a) failure to look what rotation does make an opponent, (b) not relaxing a hand after each stroke.
@@Technical.Table.Tennis I helped a beginner player improve his grip by sticking a index finger bandage on a training bat, his backhand game has now improved dramatically.
Thanks for sharing all the tips. However, for tip No. 2 (swinging at a ball), I don't think you have enough time to jump first, and then set your stroke. Usually, it'll be too late to do so. Watching top players in slow motion (example Fangbo...), I realize the opposite. Please comment if I am correct or not
Thank you for the comment. In this game we are talking milliseconds. I think the intention should always be to BEGIN to move your feet first and then prepare your arm as you anticipate the point of contact
is there a big difference from 19mm to 25mm tables? I was gonna buy butterfly compact 19 table, wondering if thats good enough to train on since I go to table tennis clubs and am intermediate level player.
I play better than the average one in practice time but in match i can't win against the beginners , even they do not play according to techniques, so tell me what could I do?
I think one of biggest mistake that beginner made is the serve part... Serving over the line rather than outside the line. Next video... How to serve and type of serve.
@@Technical.Table.Tennis He might mean on the serve. Your body and legs are past the front the table, hence why you jump backwards for the return. --- I'm curious: what advantage does it give to stand forward of the table like that during serve?
good lesson, but not for beginners. real beginners need a lesson in stance, propern strokes, safe play / placement and an introduction to the benefits and reactions to spin. this lesson is to develop from beginner to intermediate.

The line of play point is a very important one, didn't think about that before, thanks man for the tip, it makes a huge difference, cheers
Nice to meet you Julius. When I first learned about the line of play, I then realized how important footwork is to keep you within it. Cheers!
@@Technical.Table.Tennis nice to meet you too bro, keep the good work, table tennis is the best sport out there in my opinion
It is hands down the best sport in the world. That's my personal opinion of course =)

how good is this guy in explaining things. dont stop making videos
Very good insight. Thank you.
Please post more video.
I found it very helpful, you re doing good job man!
I am very happy to hear. Thanks for watching! Greetings from the United States!
Excellent, the detail is simply amazing. Thanks.
If ping pong would have Gods, you would be God-sent lol What a great tutorial! Made me up my game tremendously
Your video is clear and great although I'm not a professional player , thanks a lot
Hi Sokha Ou. I hope it helps you to experience a higher level of the game. Enjoy friend!

Thank you Ryan. You read my mind! I was just looking at wireless lavalier microphones this last weekend.
Good video, I like the line of play concept.
Thank you! In a game of milliseconds any way to help anticipate the next placement of the ball can mean all of the difference
Thanks for the tips, their really good for players who struggle during matches.
Happy to help! Thank you for watching!
great instruction

Very practical instruction Jin Joen.
Thank you Thanh Van! Much love!
service is what I struggle with, and footwork (like the line of play thing you talk about.)
Service and footwork really come with repetition. You have to practice these in drills to improve quickly
I can't wait for the next tutorial!
Excellent stuff! Very helpful for beginners like me. Thank you! Would appreciate some videos on serves.
Nice to meet you Arindam. I will be making new videos again soon. Stay tuned!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. People should definitely pay attention to what you said here. Very well said.
really beneficial vids
thank a lot
waiting for more vids
Hello Foad and thank you! I just love this sport and hope to help everyone get started!
@@Technical.Table.Tennis I have started to play the game regularly since about 2 months ago. I'm 21 right now.
Love to hear this!
Great video on helping beginners improve there game 👍I often see beginners with a poor grip which slows down there development.
That's a great point. I've even seen people wrap 4 fingers around the handle!

Could you make a vid on how to brush
Good suggestion my friend. I certainly can in the future. Thank you for watching.

LagunaIX I agree completely. That’s a very big beginner mistake. Thanks for the suggestion. A service video is in the works :)

Thank you!
But my coach says u were suppose to stand in front of the table but at the side
I’m not sure I get what you’re saying. Joke?
