8:39 I like that you applied the pivot or as the coach told you about the step-around after only one minute and he already acknowledged it, very good pls continue. BTW, the Coach's RPB Style is excellent especially using kinetic chain with power from the ground very smoothly
I remember taking a lesson from Tom, he taught me how to push efficiently. The way he receives is so good, and his pushes. So much precision. Great video!
Hi! Thx for uploading this. Gives me a good perspective of high-level players. I have a question: Is this drill good to ask with a coach: where I do some backhand Block and then transition to forehand topspin? 2) did you get a chance to ask him how should I train and what should I do to go for nations like 2700+ plus etc as a new 20-year-old player
When you say backhand block, do you mean like a backhand drive and then you want to pivot to play fh topspin? Or do you literally mean block where the coach will be spinning to you and then you pivot to counter topspin?
@@kokoshtet Yeah literally block. Also, I am confused about how to do a backhand drive. Which is the best video do you recommend me watching to learn the right one? There is like variation of backhand drive?
@@GravitySix-G6 backhand drive is the same as backhand counter hit or flat hit. It’s like how you would warm up backhands. You can watch the previous video I made with Tom where I was trying to improve my backhands, there’s a lot about variation there
Which table tennis club do you think is the best that provides both coaching lessons in a very high level plus good open play? I can only think of 888 Table Tennis Club in CA
I haven’t been to too many clubs across the country so I probably can’t give you a comprehensive list, but on the east coast, I think New York Indoor Sports Club, Lily Yip’s, Gold Coast Table Tennis and Pingpod are a few good ones.
As high-level players do you guys build a high level of tracking the fastballs with the eyes or do you guys build experience where the opponent will play the ball next that lets you handle fast balls?
You build up your reflexes over time and that helps you track the ball better. There is a way you learn how to predict where the ball will go if you play the right shot with good spin. For example if I serve a short reverse sidespin to opponents forehand, 70% of time it will go back to my fh-middle area. You can apply this in the rally with pushes and such
@@kokoshtet wow. So understanding the spin concept is very crucial to predict the ball movement? Is this how it's always done in every games? Even in national plays or Chinese pros they understand the spin and predict it's next placement based on that?
@@GravitySix-G6 yeah understanding spin is important. I mean the foundation is the same, as you get better you’ll be able to handle more spin and different heights and speeds. The pros are just able to handle a lot more than us and can still play some deceiving shots
He is very inconsistent. But I like how easy high level players generate power. Even his forehand flick with barely any movement has the same speed as my forehand attack.

Thank you!! 🙏

Thanks man! Was it the drop short training where you have to push no spin/topspin balls short off the bounce??
Can you share his advices?
nice vid! hope pingpod will make table tennis more popular in usa. unfortunatly we do not have ping pod in France.
I heard Ping Pang Paris may be affiliated with Pingpod in some way… check that out
@@kokoshtet cool! I will thx

2) i am training with him this week, I will ask in person

I wouldnt mind taking a trip to NYC for a coaching session with Yijun, I am a penholder and it's so hard to find a penhold coach in Chicago.
Try it! I’m sure he can give a lot more tips for pen holders… alas I am shakehand lol😮💨. I’ve seen some of his penhold students improve a lot here

@@kokoshtet How do I start learning about the spins?
How attack ball on 2:10) you cannot attack this ball
Is it the one where the push went to my forehand or backhand. I can’t tell which one is at 2:10 because it seems to be between the two points lol
@@kokoshtet2:08 , on backhand
Did you mean the tall guy’s push at 2:06, or the serve at 2:15 ?
He is very inconsistent. But I like how easy high level players generate power. Even his forehand flick with barely any movement has the same speed as my forehand attack.
lol I don’t think he was trying that hard
What topic next video ?
Some forehand drills and combinations like backhand push > bh loop > 2x bh drive… something like this… or serves
Must be Top video - if Tom explain your mistakes)))
Hahah just practicing and then playing match becomes so different, especially against much higher level player
😊😊😊
Hmm why push long at all? Just attack and take your chance or else you lose to a 2700 attack lol
Yeahhh the ball is just a lot more unexpected and faster, timing gets all messed up
