You're the best :O... I've never even realized the purpose of the form of the handle, but now I understand. :) Thank you a lot for all of the important information you provide!
Hi EmRatThich. I'm from Colombia, but I´m living in Spain at the moment. Firstly I want to say thank you for the videos, all of them are very usefull for table tennis amateur players who wants to improve their techniques and eventually their performance in competition. The video when you are talking about the five principles of chinese table tennis philosophy came to me in a very special moment: my right arm was hurting during the forehand stroke... and I didn't wanted stop training, but the pain mades me lose confidence. I needed a change in my playing style and found it in the video. After I saw the video, all my table tennis have changed. Focus on the feeling is the main task during my training sessions. The other day I watched the video related with the grip and tried to grip my blade based on it and... It was amazing... I can't explained, but the feeling from the first ball was completly different, I've never felt the ball like this before... even my blade seems another blade, not my usual blade (Butterfly Innerforce Tamca ULC). From now, I will try to press my fingers during the stroke, just to see what happens hahahaha. Finally, I would like to say that I saw many videos on internet but only your videos really helped me to change my playing style and to improve. Looking forward for your next video... Bye
Thanks you so much for all your videos ! Really good tips and particularly exceptional as NONE of my coaches know or accept to reveal your tips , I had about 5 or 6 coaches after 25 years of tennis table and with age my level is slowly going down, i'm 48 . Thanks to your tips i really feel that i should improve my level and i'm very enthousiastic about it as i'm really passionate about tennis table . THANKS YOU !!!
You are the best man. I have been hitting top spin with tight grip and no bite on my top spin. Now just the change the grip made so much difference. Thank you sooooooo much
I actually found this to be true when serving as well, to pinch the racket at the contact with the wrist movement. After trying it out today I found two things happened. 1. The vibration of the blade was sharp and I could feel the contact a lot better. 2. The quality of the ball increased DRAMATICALLY! Now I will try to use the grip with the thumb at the edge, as your tips clearly are correct. I will also upgrade to harder rubbers on fh as my forehand loop is starting to develop at a lightning speed right now. I will focus on the finger pressure and feeling of the ball from now on
Dear Coach, EmRatThich! Your videos are very much useful. Until now, i have never liked or felt any of the market videos with such a high and detailed information. I can see that you have been working very hard to prepare this kind of quality videos. Keep it on, Sir! God Bless You! And, as usual, accept my Thousand Salutes, Sir!
Cool videos man , my grip is now a lot better really, I would love it if you focus more on this "power from the ground" thing and break it down to us just like what you did for grip.
Hi, I am from Serbia.Very interesting channel with details that are not explained in other table tennis sites.I support your great work !!! All the best. :))
Hi EmRatTich coach,thanks for your videos.First i lost from young kids in Europe,but now i can win from adults.And i have more experience now because of you.Thank you so much.
Hi EmRatThich, I'm a table tennis coach and player from Sweden. Just wanted to let you know that your videos help me improve both my coaching and my own game as you go deeper into explaining the sport than most other coaches do. Thank you!
I am coach from Greece ( Thessaloniki ) 20 years in that sport and i found very interesting information's . I like that you are talking slow and clearly . Very nice collections from photos !! Keep going !!!!
Hello. Your videos are awesome. You explain things that neither coach from youtube mentioned. I would be so grateful if you'll post something about FOOTWORK, the biggest problem of every beginner/intermediate player IMO. If you don't have enough time for this subject, just suggest some good channels/videos about footwork. thank you, and all due respect
Hi EmRatThich. I'm from Poland. First of all I'm glad that you are. Your tips contain the invisible things. For me is difficult to improve my game based only on match from you tube. I have not a coach also. so thank you for all secrets. I follow your chanel and thank you for your effort. huge effort. your friends from POLAND 😀🏓🖒
Hello EmRatThich! I just want to say thank you for your tutorials! I haven't been able to improve so much in my table tennis since i played almost 10 years ago. Your tutorial about the grip really made a difference on how I played table tennis. A lot of coaches and also in the tutorials always emphasize about the feel of the ball, but I must say I didnt't get it (or feel it even) until I saw your video on how to correctly grip the racket. So I must say thank you so much on your videos and hope you will always help aspiring table tennis players such as I to improve their game and making it more fun for them to play. I also want to ask, what are some of the best training programs for practicing footwork? thanks
Hi from Japan. I always enjoy watching your video. My table tennis technique is improving day by day thanks to your tips. あなたのシェアのおかげで私の技術はよくなってきています。 これからも動画アップよろしくお願いします。 ありがとう。 Thank you EmRatThich !!
Yes yes yes! :)) I was also thinking about you changing the topics so that those who preferred the other topics can hear something about the things that they are interested in too ;)
Hi EmRatThich, thanks a lot for your useful videos! I don't know why my comment here is disappeared but I'd like to write again. First of all another greetings from Bulgaria!. We're few advanced players who are fans of you channel and off course already subscribed. I was completely satisfied after watching your tips in the last 3 videos - How hold the bat 1,2 and most important tips. In fact nobody has explained me these secrets. Оn the contrary I've set them by myself only using my feeling. Almost everything is in the same way which I found in your last 3 videos but as I mentioned I've done it completely casually. Now watched already your videos I know that I'm on a right way. I'm using bat with flared handle and off course with loosen wrist - again set casually only using my feeling and again saw the explanations in your video Best racket handle? And here too I'm on a right way. I still can't believe that no one of my Bulgarian trainers couldn't explain me these essential basic tips. Normally I hold the bat with backhand grip. I put the thumb on a rubber in due to a better feeling. The index finger has always the standard position. When I play forehand I switch the grip - put the thumb on a handle but is more relaxed. Now the main pressure is transferred to the index finger and I touch often the bat with middle finger near the index finger in due to better stability. In this way I change the angle for better forehand and feel more accuracy mainly during the forehand looping. In fact i consider this small setting as a micro adjustment. ;) I wanted to thank for your efforts about doing all the table tennis videos and write you here a slightly longer comment!
hi Kiril. Wow, great point ! you are right that the middle finger near the index finger can provide more stability ! this point is very important when you play the FH stroke ! I really like this tips ! may be the system put your comment in the spam or need to be reviewed. I have the same problem sometimes. Cheers,
There aren't any good coaches in Bulgaria, just a lot of people who think they can play and make money of it. That's why you don't progress much and that's why in big european tournaments still no one's heard of Bulgaria. If you were satisfied with your coaching and you had enough progress, you wouldn't be spending time searching for table tennis tips and materials, and I wouldn't be writing an answer to your comment. Especially on a channel with not even 9000 subs.
Best videos ever... Very professional, passionate and well explained... Congratulations. I have problems with my consistency in my forehand... I change my grip during the rally subconsciously .. How can I solve this problem?
Hi EmRatThich, thanks for videos which make me do TT playing better. What I experienced is my thumb and index finger change position naturally when changing from FH to BH. But I often force my both fingers not to change, and I force to pinch the blade tightly... Is it correct? yet I still loosen the fingers before hitting ...... thanks
Bula Vinaka, This is Steve from Fiji, Thanks for your excellent TT tips I'm currently studying Bachelors Degree in Table Tennis (Sports Science) and your very informative videos are helping so much! Vinaka Vaka Levu (Thank You very much)
Hi, @EmRatThich. I'm from Venezuela and I speak spanish, english and cantonese. You should state that the information on this video is for shakehand players, some would get confused if they're penholders (like me). I'll try to sub some of your videos on my spare time. Keep the good job coming. Cheers!
EmRatThich the speed in this video is perfect. The only complaint I have is that you still mispronounce some words (i.e. Muscle is pronounced /'məsəl/) Otherwise your English has definitely improved significantly since I started watching your videos
Hi, I am DC from India, first of all thanks EmRathich for all your valuable videos. I am a great follower of your suggestions. I want to know, how to improve our switch from Forehand to Backhand during rallies.
It was interesting to watch this video. I went out to hit with the robot with just my index finger and thumb on the racket and the difference was amazing. In fact, when I placed my other fingers back on the handle, my stroke got worse! I focused on popping the ball at impact and applying pressure with the index on the forehand shots, and my shots were great. Doing this with my finger actually made me move my body and feet differently when I hit the ball. Very interesting.
Well, I have to admit when I saw your video and tried to relax, explode and relax, I was able to return every topspin serve with ease. Friend of mine I played with asked what did I change to so easily return all his serves? I said to him: "It's my little secret :-)
Hi EmRatThich, thanks a lot for your useful videos! I don't know why my comment here is disappeared but I'd like to write again. First of all another greetings from Brasil!! Make a video about choppers. Thanks!!
Hello emratthich, How can I get Power in My forehand topspin. When I hit it , the opponent easily block it and I don't have time to hit it back.please tell me
В момент хвата ракетка должна быть в ладони , или в основании пальцев? На подушках(At the time of capture, should the racket be in the palm of your hand, or at the base of your fingers? On cushions)
Hello coach,i am from India.My game is offensive nd defensive both.Nowadays I am using Adore carbon ply with coppa gold FH side nd zki chelonge hybrid BH side.According to you what kind of ply nd rubbers I should use.which ply is better lighter or heavy pls ans.me as soon as possible.
Hye emratthich. I would like to add something. BH and FH requires different timing. BH ball need to be stroke faster right after it bounce from the table. Ive discover this when i was hardly to generate power when changing from fh to bh. The longer you wait to strike BH ball, the lower power and spin it will be generated. Thus, the ball will be a tame ball and brutally killed by the opponent.
hello. I watched your video that how to hold shake hand raket and I try to use index and thumb when I do roof. but my hand use 6.5.4 fingers automatically almost always. Wrong habit. I know it is wrong and try to change it but it is not working. Can you suggest some way to change my wrong habit? I have been playing table tennis more than 10 year. But no more improvement. From Korea
hi Emrat, i agree with your video. When first i play table tennis, i dont aware about grip in table tennis. i always have difficult when execute backhand. but someday, i find the grip to execute backhand, so i know about backhand grip and forehand grip. after progress several year, i know i must apply some different grip when use backhand and forehand, mainly in thumb finger when execute backhand like your video said. So I Agree about your explain about backhand and forehand grip. because i experience about that. btw, I am from Indonesia. i already follow your video from beginning. I am not fans about chinese technique but acknowledge good technique, no matter chinese or western technique. I Think table tennis technique have all plus minus. hahaha! Maybe for european, playing lob ball is really interesting so many european like Maze, Samsonov, Saive use as their weapon. but for chinese player, it only for emergency defence and they dont depend from that, because there are so many tactic againts lob ball (Drop shot, Smash to side,Etc). And As Table tennis Fans, I Really Appreciate your video and i know it not easy make that videos. You must put your time to create that. Hope with your videos, we can grow stronger and more love table tennis. See You!
Hello Emratthich I noticed that the Waldner senso v1 is not a good Allround blade. Could you tel me if Donic Persson power allround or Donic Appelgren woulb be good ? If not, I have a Nittaku Shake def ( small - le l'ai scié). It has carbon but it's not really fast so perhaps it could also be ok as allround blade. Thank you Int advance for your answer. Best wisches.
you are right ! I've tried senso v1 and I don't like it. It lacks of power and the feeling is not very good. I prefer Appelgren than Persson blade. The nittaku def is a good DEF+ ALL blade too, however it's rather large blade I think ?
hey, I am from guatemala. I love your videos. I have a 729 Hao Shuai L5 (OFF++) I would like to try a SP rubber can you recommend someone? thank you so much
Hello I have a question and I really would like to get your answer. In western european forehand top spin the hitting contact is on the top because the angle is very close. For chinese forehand topspin where its the hitting contact? Thanks a lot for the support.
very good question ! the western european forehand topspin contacts the ball at the position from 12am to 3am (on top of the ball). The advantage of chinese technique is you can contact the ball a little lower. So you can contact at 3am even at 4 am. Chinese coach normally say "wrap" the ball with your racket. With a longer gesture, and lower contact position on the ball. you can "wrap" the ball as long as you can, so add spin and speed to the stroke. bests.
Hi mister, i write for France. Merci beaucoup for your teaching videos. I made translations of your videos for tittle and subtittle because it's realy important for French players to learn all of your contents, coach never give a complete lesson in France. Theoric points are not teached, it's realy dommageable, so thank you so very much. W.Belliard near Nantes.
Bạn có thể giải thích kỹ hơn cho mình hiểu cụm từ "apply pressure" trong đoạn:"index finger combines with thumb finger to apply pressure" và "Apply pressure at the moment of contact" nghĩa là mh làm như thế nào k? tra nghĩa nó mênh mông quá nên k hiểu rõ được!
for a chopper, it's a little different. As you play a little far from the table, you must support your stroke with your very long movement of your forearm. So you should apply the pressure mainly on the index finger when you chop both side. BH LP: You should apply pressure with the index. And also FH (normal rubber) you should apply pressure on the index too. Try it, and you will see, the ball is more consistent.
Great video, i need to try to emphatize more the correct way of holding the grip, since i dont do it naturally, i have to keep thinking during the match "hold the bat correctly" or i lose the grip. I'm kinda sad you didnt read the comment on the previous video but i understand you are really busy so i hope you read it when you have time. long story short.... i was asking videos about chopping and LP techniques. Greetings from Argentina !
hi. I'm sorry about that. As I have many thing to says. I will discuss about the chopping and LP users later. :) I know that all of you have many many question, that the coach didn't correct it. And I will try to cover, but it takes time. Stay tuned.
for LP chopping the most important thing is you must support the ball with the movement of your forearm, and you must open your racket (LP side) as flat as possible. I will cover it with the video.
Thanks a lot man, i'm so happy you could answer me because I know its a lot a work and takes time to read and reply all comments.. All of the videos, no matter the topic, are usefull for me and i really enjoy watching them, so keep up the good work and of course i will stay tunned ! Thanks a lot for the videos and the work you put for the table tennis comunity here on youtube.
I am From Finland And Im Really Interested TableTennis And I Want To Improve My Skills I am 12 Years old, im 3rd place 13 Years In Finland And Thanks To You, You Giving Me Really Good Tips Improving my tabletennis :)
mechanism, emphasize, aspect, muscle by the way, i'm pretty sure the western people know how to apply power in a split second to their strokes - the problem is that their muscles are not very explosive. Africans have no power problem as you can see from Quadri Aruna etc.
I'm from Greece... I'm 13 years old and I have been playing table tennis for about 5 years... I was always the best in my club but last year and this year Ive been in a downfall. Coaches don't train me as they used to and my technique is bad.I was feeling the spin and the ball as you said in a previous video but now I feel like me technique gets worse and worse... Please help
Ah, I was getting worried... Good to hear news from you! I'm from Brazil, and here we speak portuguese :) I've checked your other videos about grip and paid more attention to Wang Hao's grip, and by mimicking it, I solved my finger pain issue! I used to leave my middle finger straight and now I bend it. When the opportunity arrives, I'd like to know more about how to improve my performance during matches, as it's always far behind my performance during training sessions. Some tips about how to concentrate and stay calm would be nice! I tend to get angry when I make mistakes and sometimes I rush and make bad shots or just simply miss the ball. About the penhold grip, I suppose everything will be explained in the next video, right? Because I'm very curious about how the muscle group thing works for penholders, since the thumb and the index finger are on the same side of the blade. I started supporting my RPB with my thumb, which is now deeper into the blade, and I feel this stroke has been improving. Well, thanks for staying with us despite being busy! P.S: Is Zhang Jike your favourite player? He appears a lot in your videos haha!
Emratthich, pensez-vous que le bois donic waldner senso v1 avec dhs skylkne neo 2 et joola énergie x'tra pourrait bien convenir pour un jeu allrond avec un revêtement chinois sur le coup droit ?
I've tried senso v1 and I don't like it. Another peoples say it's a good blade. But it's not a good all round blade. And why Skyline neo 2 for an all round game? Chinese rubber is not for an all round game, it's for an powerfull attack game. If you want an all round game, it's better to choose an all round blade, and high tensor rubber: ten05, ten64, calibra lt+, 2.0 mm only
EmRatThich Thank you for your answer. Instead waldner senso i have an appelgren allplay or à Persson power allround. Do you know which is better as allround blade ?
Can you make a guide about traditional penhold short pips hitter(no rbp) as a traditional penhold short pips player will very appreciate. Im from Thailand.
Cool Video but i have still a question. I now have an Allround Blade Donic waldner Allplay and it weights 80g. Do you think a heavier blade is better or should i stay with it and blade harder rubber to increase the weight ?
yes. But with most commercial blade, you can't choose the blade weight. With 80+ Euro, you can ask the blade maker to adjust your blade weight. Choose OSP Expert 90g. The blade is very important, so spend money on the blade is good. For all round blade, the OSP Expert is one of the best all round in the market now.
Okay thank you very much for your answer. After the round i am going to buy a OSP Expert power allround blade. So it is a longer time and i can buy it ^^
hello emrathich i am a korean living in Canada your english is getting better i see let me just correct you this today muscle when you say this word you say muskle but it should be said mursle ok have a good day oh thank you for your excellent upload clips I learn a lot from it thank you again

THANKS YOU EMRATHICH FOR THE SUB TITLES I SPEAK FRENCH ^^
HI EmRatThich. I love your channel.I'm from Poland.
thank you. there are not many Poland watching my video. YOu are the 1st one.
Hi, I am DC from India, first of all thanks EmRathich for all your valuable videos. I am a great follower of your suggestions. I want to know, how to improve our switch from Forehand to Backhand during rallies.
Thanks
looking forward to the penhold grip description. There is very little info on that grip on the internet
It was interesting to watch this video. I went out to hit with the robot with just my index finger and thumb on the racket and the difference was amazing. In fact, when I placed my other fingers back on the handle, my stroke got worse! I focused on popping the ball at impact and applying pressure with the index on the forehand shots, and my shots were great. Doing this with my finger actually made me move my body and feet differently when I hit the ball. Very interesting.
wow :)
Now I dont want to add my other fingers to the grip!
I have played table tennis in Two years and trains 5 days a week and i agere completet with this!
But great tips helps me alot
Which warm up routine should I do before a match?
Well, I have to admit when I saw your video and tried to relax, explode and relax, I was able to return every topspin serve with ease. Friend of mine I played with asked what did I change to so easily return all his serves? I said to him: "It's my little secret :-)
haha. :D cool. How about sharing it to your friend ? :D
I'm from Saudi Arabia, I speak Arabic, I like your videos and I hope to improve my playing style with your tips and advices.
.
Thank you.
Hi EmRatThich, thanks a lot for your useful videos! I don't know why my comment here is disappeared but I'd like to write again.
First of all another greetings from Brasil!! Make a video about choppers. Thanks!!
Hi coach, for cpen (RPB), how good is yinhe (galaxy) uranus u-2 blade? Please respond.
Hello emratthich, How can I get Power in My forehand topspin. When I hit it , the opponent easily block it and I don't have time to hit it back.please tell me
В момент хвата ракетка должна быть в ладони , или в основании пальцев? На подушках(At the time of capture, should the racket be in the palm of your hand, or at the base of your fingers? On cushions)
Hello coach,i am from India.My game is offensive nd defensive both.Nowadays I am using Adore carbon ply with coppa gold FH side nd zki chelonge hybrid BH side.According to you what kind of ply nd rubbers I should use.which ply is better lighter or heavy pls ans.me as soon as possible.
I'm from Belarus - Belarusian, Russian, Polish, English, Ukranian. Nice video. Thanks
Saludos desde México!!!
Hye emratthich. I would like to add something. BH and FH requires different timing. BH ball need to be stroke faster right after it bounce from the table.
Ive discover this when i was hardly to generate power when changing from fh to bh. The longer you wait to strike BH ball, the lower power and spin it will be generated.
Thus, the ball will be a tame ball and brutally killed by the opponent.
yes, you are right. BH stroke normally hits sooner than FH.
hello. I watched your video that how to hold shake hand raket and I try to use index and thumb when I do roof. but my hand use 6.5.4 fingers automatically almost always. Wrong habit. I know it is wrong and try to change it but it is not working. Can you suggest some way to change my wrong habit? I have been playing table tennis more than 10 year. But no more improvement. From Korea
hi Emrat, i agree with your video. When first i play table tennis, i dont aware about grip in table tennis. i always have difficult when execute backhand. but someday, i find the grip to execute backhand, so i know about backhand grip and forehand grip.
after progress several year, i know i must apply some different grip when use backhand and forehand, mainly in thumb finger when execute backhand like your video said. So I Agree about your explain about backhand and forehand grip. because i experience about that. btw, I am from Indonesia. i already follow your video from beginning.
I am not fans about chinese technique but acknowledge good technique, no matter chinese or western technique. I Think table tennis technique have all plus minus. hahaha!
Maybe for european, playing lob ball is really interesting so many european like Maze, Samsonov, Saive use as their weapon. but for chinese player, it only for emergency defence and they dont depend from that, because there are so many tactic againts
lob ball (Drop shot, Smash to side,Etc).
And As Table tennis Fans, I Really Appreciate your video and i know it not easy make that videos. You must put your time to create that. Hope with your videos, we can grow stronger and more love table tennis. See You!
yeah, thank you Chandra. Lob style is very fun to watch. But nowadays, the player hit the ball very fast, so it's hard to win by this style. :)
Hello Emratthich
I noticed that the Waldner senso v1 is not a good Allround blade.
Could you tel me if Donic Persson power allround or Donic Appelgren woulb be good ?
If not, I have a Nittaku Shake def ( small - le l'ai scié). It has carbon but it's not really fast so perhaps it could also be ok as allround blade.
Thank you Int advance for your answer. Best wisches.
you are right ! I've tried senso v1 and I don't like it. It lacks of power and the feeling is not very good.
I prefer Appelgren than Persson blade. The nittaku def is a good DEF+ ALL blade too, however it's rather large blade I think ?
hey, I am from guatemala.
I love your videos.
I have a 729 Hao Shuai L5 (OFF++) I would like to try a SP rubber can you recommend someone?
thank you so much
you play SP in which side? and what is the purpose of your SP?
I'm from Puerto Rico! I speak Spanish and Portuguese.
what type of modification should i do in my technic when i am away from the table
equipment(h3 neo fh, tibhar el-s bh, DHS PG7 blade)
far from away the table, the most important is the hardness of your h3neo.
what's its hardness ?
Hello I have a question and I really would like to get your answer. In western european forehand top spin the hitting contact is on the top because the angle is very close.
For chinese forehand topspin where its the hitting contact? Thanks a lot for the support.
very good question ! the western european forehand topspin contacts the ball at the position from 12am to 3am (on top of the ball). The advantage of chinese technique is you can contact the ball a little lower. So you can contact at 3am even at 4 am. Chinese coach normally say "wrap" the ball with your racket. With a longer gesture, and lower contact position on the ball. you can "wrap" the ball as long as you can, so add spin and speed to the stroke. bests.
Hi mister, i write for France. Merci beaucoup for your teaching videos. I made translations of your videos for tittle and subtittle because it's realy important for French players to learn all of your contents, coach never give a complete lesson in France. Theoric points are not teached, it's realy dommageable, so thank you so very much. W.Belliard near Nantes.
Bạn có thể giải thích kỹ hơn cho mình hiểu cụm từ "apply pressure" trong đoạn:"index finger combines with thumb finger to apply pressure" và "Apply pressure at the moment of contact" nghĩa là mh làm như thế nào k? tra nghĩa nó mênh mông quá nên k hiểu rõ được!
Hey ! Awesome video ! I wanted to ask if i should have pressure on my thumb if i play backhand defense ?
You mean chopping by the BH far from the table?
You chop with normal of LP rubber ?
EmRatThich i mean with LP cause im a defender ^^ and what should i do when i defend with forehand with a normal rubber ? :)
for a chopper, it's a little different. As you play a little far from the table, you must support your stroke with your very long movement of your forearm. So you should apply the pressure mainly on the index finger when you chop both side. BH LP: You should apply pressure with the index. And also FH (normal rubber) you should apply pressure on the index too. Try it, and you will see, the ball is more consistent.
Great video, i need to try to emphatize more the correct way of holding the grip, since i dont do it naturally, i have to keep thinking during the match "hold the bat correctly" or i lose the grip.
I'm kinda sad you didnt read the comment on the previous video but i understand you are really busy so i hope you read it when you have time. long story short.... i was asking videos about chopping and LP techniques. Greetings from Argentina !
Practice correct for a while and your'e gonna get used to it =)
hi. I'm sorry about that. As I have many thing to says.
I will discuss about the chopping and LP users later. :)
I know that all of you have many many question, that the coach didn't correct it.
And I will try to cover, but it takes time. Stay tuned.
for LP chopping the most important thing is you must support the ball with the movement of your forearm, and you must open your racket (LP side) as flat as possible. I will cover it with the video.
Thanks a lot man, i'm so happy you could answer me because I know its a lot a work and takes time to read and reply all comments.. All of the videos, no matter the topic, are usefull for me and i really enjoy watching them, so keep up the good work and of course i will stay tunned ! Thanks a lot for the videos and the work you put for the table tennis comunity here on youtube.
I am From Finland And Im Really Interested TableTennis And I Want To Improve My Skills I am 12 Years old, im 3rd place 13 Years In Finland And Thanks To You, You Giving Me Really Good Tips Improving my tabletennis :)
^^ Keep it up ! Thank you
Btw ive been played Tabletennis only 1 year And I have my Rating Has increased 1050 points 👍
thank you. even tho your pronunciation is not so good but your content is very good. thanks for sharing the Chinese secret :)
+Geoffrey Cheng thank you. Which words pronunciation i should improve
mechanism, emphasize, aspect, muscle
by the way, i'm pretty sure the western people know how to apply power in a split second to their strokes - the problem is that their muscles are not very explosive. Africans have no power problem as you can see from Quadri Aruna etc.
I'm from Greece... I'm 13 years old and I have been playing table tennis for about 5 years... I was always the best in my club but last year and this year Ive been in a downfall. Coaches don't train me as they used to and my technique is bad.I was feeling the spin and the ball as you said in a previous video but now I feel like me technique gets worse and worse... Please help
Thanks your from Russia and best regards!
Ah, I was getting worried... Good to hear news from you!
I'm from Brazil, and here we speak portuguese :)
I've checked your other videos about grip and paid more attention to Wang Hao's grip, and by mimicking it, I solved my finger pain issue! I used to leave my middle finger straight and now I bend it.
When the opportunity arrives, I'd like to know more about how to improve my performance during matches, as it's always far behind my performance during training sessions. Some tips about how to concentrate and stay calm would be nice! I tend to get angry when I make mistakes and sometimes I rush and make bad shots or just simply miss the ball.
About the penhold grip, I suppose everything will be explained in the next video, right? Because I'm very curious about how the muscle group thing works for penholders, since the thumb and the index finger are on the same side of the blade. I started supporting my RPB with my thumb, which is now deeper into the blade, and I feel this stroke has been improving.
Well, thanks for staying with us despite being busy!
P.S: Is Zhang Jike your favourite player? He appears a lot in your videos haha!
yes ! his technique is the best technique in CNT. His technique is very pure and correct !
thanks a lot coach though a lot late
footwork PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! HOW TO IMPROVE FOOTWORK, exercises?
hassan sajjad I recommend sprints and skippings, it improves your footwork.
any beginner routine?
Just skip initially... Skipping is the beginner's routine
Yeah.. it connects the reaction of the hands, body and the foot.
Emratthich, pensez-vous que le bois donic waldner senso v1 avec dhs skylkne neo 2 et joola énergie x'tra pourrait bien convenir pour un jeu allrond avec un revêtement chinois sur le coup droit ?
I've tried senso v1 and I don't like it. Another peoples say it's a good blade. But it's not a good all round blade.
And why Skyline neo 2 for an all round game? Chinese rubber is not for an all round game, it's for an powerfull attack game.
If you want an all round game, it's better to choose an all round blade, and high tensor rubber: ten05, ten64, calibra lt+, 2.0 mm only
EmRatThich
Thank you for your answer.
Instead waldner senso i have an appelgren allplay or à Persson power allround.
Do you know which is better as allround blade ?
Hi from Croatia,Filip
Can you make a guide about traditional penhold short pips hitter(no rbp) as a traditional penhold short pips player will very appreciate. Im from Thailand.
wow. are you a fan of Juanito? :)
he is a legend !
EmRatThich Yes im big fan of himXD
am frm india
hey emratthich
u haven't told abt how to hold the pen hold raquet ?? buddy
am very eagerly waiting for it
pls pls pls
I am from India
Cool Video but i have still a question.
I now have an Allround Blade Donic waldner Allplay and it weights 80g. Do you think a heavier blade is better or should i stay with it and blade harder rubber to increase the weight ?
80g is too light. The best weight range is from 89g to 93g.
It's very difficult to improve your technique with a light blade.
My setup is 210g.
Bests,
ok thank you do you have a recommendation for a blade which is under 60 Euro. I thought about the OPS Expert but it is quite expensive ?
Can you make up for the light blade with heavy rubbers?
yes. But with most commercial blade, you can't choose the blade weight. With 80+ Euro, you can ask the blade maker to adjust your blade weight. Choose OSP Expert 90g. The blade is very important, so spend money on the blade is good. For all round blade, the OSP Expert is one of the best all round in the market now.
Okay thank you very much for your answer.
After the round i am going to buy a OSP Expert power allround blade. So it is a longer time and i can buy it ^^
maybe break down some drills, and other practttttice techniques
I'm from Colombia.
I From Thailand I love you
