really appreciate analytical table tennis vids like this. the sport is crazy fast live that you really have to slow it down AND know what to look for to know the underlying tactics that's happening. keep it up!
Great vid! By the way, you should name the year of which Championship you are talking about. The lack of that, coupled with the fact that you used an old picture as the thumbnail, made me think that it's a much older video.
:/ I mean you could try to follow along the levels for penhold as well. But since my experience is rooted in shakehand, I might invariably miss some details for penhold
@@drupepong I mean yeah I guess but I still really like what you're doing for beginners of tt (i am not a beginner anymore, but i wanna learn whatever I can to make myself better in every way)
i am playing table tennis for the last 10 or 11 years in my middle school i started taking it seriously i went to coaching and played lot of tournamentsn i won some but i lost 90 percent of those tournament only once i was played interzonal [ state level } in delhi then i left my coaching after that cuz of acadmic pressure and now i recently played kv nationals [ lost in that as well nvm } soo my 12th is about to get over soo is there any point restarting it college and aiming for university
I can't really answer that for you, but I can give you my perspective. I myself started table tennis relatively late (at 15), so there were moments where I questioned playing if I might not ever be able to compete seriously But in hindsight I'm glad I never gave up playing, cause the sport helped me to meet many wonderful people over the years and the health benefits and of course it is always fun to improve a little even if it is at a slower pace. If you only play with the aim of being a professional player, tbh it could be a little frustrating/disappointing
He took a risk on the last point. It was almost on the line. He had to take that risk because he had already lost two match points and losing another one would have turned the match towards Dong. Great win for the legend
It seems newer players sometimes struggle to handle spinny balls. They are too much into fast game. Timo preferred heavy spin both from backhand and forehand. Almost all competitors find it difficult to counter top spin or block.
Impressive analysis. I really liked your points about Timo's new on-the-bounce counters and his opening up on Harimoto's backhand. Keep up the good work and keep these types of videos coming!
I think table tennis is much more mental than I initially believed. Nice video though , maybe you can make video analysing different top players and who has the best chance in Paris.
Can you do a rundown of Timo Boll’s matches in the recent tournament (vs Sangsu, Woojin, Harimoto, Yun Ju) please? I’m interested in what you have to say in them
Oh wow, I do have some thoughts on it, just haven't gotten around to making the video yet, would you prefer a short points observation like this one or a more longer format like the one in Lin yun ju vs Filus analysis?
Maybe a habit built from the early years of playing with chinese rubbers where you have to actually engage the rubber instead of how euro style rubbers reverse the opponents spin ... there simply was no option available to not make a full stroke
Interesting and very true. I also think there are other players that maintain a clean forehand stroke better - Lin Gaoyuan or WCQ for example. Ma Long had a fairly relaxed shoulder that goes through the shot more while LGY's is more textbook and clean under pressure.
Very interesting, I wonder if the bigger stroke technique of Ma Long makes it easier to maintain a proper hit or a shorter stroke technique is more prone to breaking on pressure. Because there are plenty of examples where Ma Long receives a very fast ball to his forehand and is not able to produce a clean shot on time
He means this is bs:d Ma Long had the upper hand and pinned him to the backhand corner and he didn't have space to produce a 'clean' forehand technique. Ma Long gets in that position often when he's attacked in the middle of the body. It's nothing wrong with that, it's part of the sport. You need to make the best of each position.
I think in the final sets, Ma Long switched up tactics and decided to gamble that Duda would try the same strategy, making his push more floaty and no-spin than before, gambling on the possibility that Duda would push long again and consequently push out-of-bounds. And once Duda notices this he would mix in a few normal backspin pushes to throw him off. This was a major gamble because if Duda read the spin correctly and attacked the float-push, Ma Long would have to go back to the drawing board.
Yo, thanks for the great tips man, imma more than ready to face Ma Long right now! but where do I find him for a game tho? 😂 (Jk, but really good tactics for real
I will do that in the future ones, thanks for the suggestion! Could you also maybe tell me what aspects the voiceover would help? (as in clarity or just the feel or something else?)
Interestingly enough when I entered into Vadodara stadium for my son's match, the score was 2-0 and 9-10 and the game completely changed from there 😮 Were you also there at that time?
Included the first 2 knocks just because of how cool they are :) Although he comes back and wins the first set, Jeet Chandra goes on to lose 4-2. You can watch the full match here if you want. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UELuTCY4d2g.html
