You earnt a new sub. Im still trying to figure out what float means but im glad im seeing some well explained fundamentals. Keep it up. As for those who didnt understand the video, I'd focus on each term used and try and play it out on a table so you can understand it. 'Spin theory' isnt easy for many people, including myself.
i don't know what level you are playing at where backspins are so weak that they could be returned like this. this is pure dreaming. or is your backhand rubber slick anti-spin?
One tip bros Returning sidespin is like translation of a function( math application) Like heavier sidespin equates to higher angle tilt And the direction of play is on the tilted axes
The ball doesn’t become spinnier after point 3. The spin stays the same because of the conservation of momentum. It gets harder to lift the ball because it’s easier to use the upward motion of the ball and reflect it on your racket as opposed to work against the backspin and the downward motion together
Hello. I just doubt about the float sample and demonstration. It seems they are not the same. Since float is from bottom to middle but the serve demonstrated is going down. May I know how it differs? Thank you <3
Unfortunately, I can't play Werner Schlager's explanation video due to copyright restrictions. To view the full explanation in detail, you can watch the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ldheZbxGWlQ.html
Again thanks. I don't understand what you mean in the difference between topspin and backspin in the pendulum server.. Front and back of the ball.. How? The bat comes from above the ball on the right side.. Which front and back of the ball? From which perspective
Feel free to check out the full detailed explanation from Werner Schlager - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ldheZbxGWlQ.htmlsi=Vuwjxz2hvDxw1oSa&t=210
the hook serve toss seems to have some controversial serve , with ball not vertical toss and hand hiding the ball during the serve, pendulum also has side spin
I just shared one of your videos with my friend... And you upload 5 mins later.... Even though you haven't uploaded in a while .. thank you sir the serve recieves videos it changed how i play.
Im ur new subscribers. Like to subscribe because ur technic TT vid is detail step by step..✌️😅.. nice too be ur new subscribers.. have a nice days..✌️😅
This was great! Can you explain why most serves are not as far away from the danger zone as possible? That would make sense, but it's not the case. I mean in the area where it says 2 at 0:24. Thanks.
Although forehand long is a very dangerous zone, forehand short is actually a very effective zone to serve because of the lack of wrist flexibility in the stroke (forehand flick is way less flexible than a backhand flick), making it awkward for the opponent to attack.
As a left-hander, the go-to serve is to serve to a right-hander's forehand short. Try use a pendulum serve so the ball curves away from your opponent's forehand ( left-hander's backhand)
The height of the player should be considered if they prefered to stay closer to table or not. Usually tall player are heavier and prefer to pull back from table earlier and able to create power away from table or after the ball fall. Short and smaller players got no such option in this matter, they should play more compact and even utilized smaller or more passive strokes such as block to keep their distance short like Harimoto.
Technically, modern day difference in backhands between Chinese and European is very small due large part to the adoption of large plastic balls and popular use of backhand flick tech. In stead of saying Chinese style and European style backhands, better characterize as individual player style. Even within Chinese, backhand stroke for each player is quite different. For example, Ma Long, Fan, Lin Gaoyuan, noticeably, the upcoming young star Lin Shidong with super compact and quick stroke. The same can be said about European players. . However, there are clear difference between old era and nowadays regarding backhand mechanics. Also in the old era, there were indeed difference between Chinese and European backhands in that Chinese emphasized close table speed with small compact stroke while EU players often had much large and powerful stroke farther away from the table. Well, the use of plastic ball changed TT landscape and converged major skill difference and technically Chinese are not superior to European anymore. In some areas, European even enjoy some advantages, like penhold grip play as the current two best penhold players are all from Europe.
To be honest the spin is unrealistic to a real match so it is better to train with a real partner. However, if you have no choice then it is still a good way to improve your technique.
