Are You Making One of These Forehand Mistakes?? 

I think I make every single mistake you are demonstrating in the video. But at least now I know how to fix them 😂 thanks for your great work and I'm looking forward to having you showing me all my backhand mistakes.

Great clear coaching video that doesn't only illustrate the proper technique but also explains how to correct improper technique. Very helpful.

fantastic video.There are so many top 100 players in the world that can't, or don't, share this type of content and explain things in a way that anyone can understand. I was heavy into playing music all throughout my childhood, and we used the same concept of overcorrecting things in the opposite direction of the error to help find the middle ground. this advice works in everything!

This is top quality coaching. I've been playing TT for a few years now and have only recently started working with a coach. The mistakes you've highlighted are super relevant to what I'm trying to correct at the moment. Part of the issue is understanding what I'm doing wrong and why, you've done a great job of explaining that, plus your methods of correcting the issues has me very excited to hit up the robot this week. Thank you for the quality content!

So different from the rest. Imagine what good stuffs you could have come up with backstrokes. Thanks.

Great summary of common mistakes and corrections. As retired table tennis coach I saw some new corrections, wished I had known...

Please make a video about backhand mistakes too!

High quality lesson for free. Thanks

Top notch. Often coaches don’t explain the why, and for me that does not work for me. I have a ‘stuck on too of the ball’ problem for sure!

Best table tennis videos on youtube by far, hope we see more tournament videos in future as well! 😁

That towel saturation analogy was amazing!

This video is amazing. I like that you explain why it's a bad habit and how to train yourself out of it. I'm guilty of a lot of these 😂.

Very nice explanation of mistakes I can see at every tournament and in the mirror.

damm perfect timing! Posted right at the moment I'm trying to improve my forehand.

Thank you very much another bookmark video for me to get better, thanks Champ

Wow. Thank you very much. I saw many mistakes that I made and now I understand why my level couldn’t move up. Do appreciate it. Again thank you.👍

Seth you're a gem

Thank you I have a lot of problems with my swing after looking at your video. Thank you 🙏🏽

One of the simplest and most efficient tips I have seen on TT instruction videos. Thank you very much 🙂

Finally:)) I was waiting for your new video! Thanks for advices!! Greate content!!!🙂👏👌

7 months after i tried to fix my mistakes with this video, I was doing at least half of these mistakes now its only 1-2 and the other are mostly eliminated. Really helpful tips to correct wrong technique!!

I make all of these mistakes. Thank you for explaining how to fix them so clearly.

Brilliant video. I'll be trying the Rafael Nadal exercise next time to (hopefully) stop finishing low. Thank you.

Great tips! I'm taking notes over here!

I will have to watch this over and over again. Thank you for the video and the bookmarks is incredibly helpful

As someone who switched hands a couple of years ago and rebuilt from scratch, these tips are solid gold. The ones I found most useful for myself are 1) stopping the shoulder to improve recovery and 2) open to closed angle. Agree that open to closed is optimal but I was doing too much wrist rotation/manipulation when I started open and tried to close during the stroke. Had to really work on it. Starting with a slightly closed angle (6around 60 degrees) actually reduced my errors since I didn't move the wrist much during the stroke.

I think you could see the first point from a different perspective too.. A lot of people tend to stop too early .. So exaggerating the rotation with with hand swing and shoulder (whole body), will help a lot. It was a tipp from a coach and it improved my forehand tremendously. Once you get it you can then shorten the rotation depending on the ball and the time you have and also depending on how much power you want to impart into the shot.. Most important thing ist to lift the elbow throw the shot and keep it high and forward regardless of how much you rotate.. For topspin against block/topspin you can control it by letting the bat FH face, inner upper arm and forearm point downward at the end on the same plane. This Wil make sure that you lift and keep the elbow high ending the shot with the bat over the left eye.. It also insures a stable swing plane and a stable bat angle .. So the elbow starts low in the backswing and moves higher through the shot on a stable plane.. Keeping the elbow stable through the shot ist really a key for the all forehand topspin shots.. In the past I thought it only relevant for the backhand.. Hope you get what I tried to explain.. Try it and let me know😀

You are a life saver, these tips have been super helpful

so up to the point , and explaining lots of details... you are my favourite my friend. thanks for all your help

Very informative! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 😊

You are a blessing to the table tennis community. Continue what you are doing. I am sure you have been helping a lot of players around the world.

Awesome video - I particularly like the bookmark sequencing which allows me to review the different errors in study. Also, the recommendations for fixing the errors are really insightful. Cheers for this wonderful video : )

Best video ever was looking for long time ❤❤

Always excited for a new PechPong video. Fantastic content, keep it up ❤

These suggestions are amazing! Everyone in the TT community appreciates the quality of instruction and effort here. I would love to see an equivalent video for forehand loop against underspin. Especially when dealing with a standard push compared to something like a heavy pips chop.

Awesome video!!

Thank you coach🙏⚡️!

Good work... thanks

Another excellent video from Seth! Thank you for assembling all possible FH mistakes into one powerful and useful video. Much appreciated!

Awesome video, thanks!!!

Great info! Thanks Seth!

Great tips! Thanks Pech!

Thank you for the tips ❤

Excellent coaching and great tips, thanks very much for taking the time an effort to produce this vid. I will be working on a couple of points.

Great video, Seth. The content and presentation are very easy to understand and helpful. Thank you for sharing your expertise in such a quality manner. I especially need to work on not being so rigid and totally eliminating the stop sign. Best wishes to you in your own table tennis journey.

Single most helpful table tennis video I've seen on RU-vid. I realized mistakes I've been making for a decade of playing. Just from using the "place" method on both wings, I went from poor technique and match results to winning and stroking well one session to the next.

Awesome video! I am working on improving my technique, and this is one of the best FH videos I've seen so far, to help with that. Thanks!

Really enjoyed the video. Not only for me (you got me with the jumping and getting stuck on the backfoot) but also for training with kids! Thank you :D

This is a great video. Pls make one for the backhand. Thanks

Thank you

Sehr gut 😊 verry fine Tecnics. 😊

Really great content and production quality! Keep it up! 👍

Thank you Coach. Few things I would definitely need to try and improve and develop new, correct habits. Thanks again for the clear instructions and explanations.

As an aspiring coach, very helpfull

Awesome tips! A backhand one ASAP, please 😅

pure gold!

Great video, i found some mistakes with My forehand, Im exciting to watch the video of mistakes of Backhand.

Hi Seth! Great to see a new video from you! Thanks for posting, great insight and helpful suggestions as usual! 😊

Awesome video. I make a couple of these mistakes and was trying to figure out how to fix my stroke. Now I can improve!

Thanks for breakdown on forehand.

thanks for the video, it's always very informative. How is your tabletennis going?

I have learnt a lot thank you for the lesson.

Amazing video!

I truly love the way you approach explain and clarify all issues...excellent video.... and i am guilty of 80% of them... at least i know what why and how... in order to improve and coach others..

Absolutely brilliant coaching tips.

Amazing video can you do a same video for the BH side?

thx U sir for valuable knowledge sharing

very comprehensive and clear - thanks for posting.

you are an inspiration pech..Thanks a lot

Wow. Simply best tt coaching video. Awesome tips, particularly the very last bonus tips. Thank you for making this video.

Just another amazing coaching video from Seth!

Nice video Seth, I definitely do the jumping one, especially when going for a lot of power. I think for the top of the ball problem doing the finger breaker exercise as Adam Boborov called it could be useful P.s. my copy of peak performance arrived today so just starting to read now, thank you for the recommendation

Keep posting videos pro , your videos are amazing 👏 ❤ and your content is very useful and helped me alot ❤

Thank you very much! You are a legend man! I had a problem with the backswing of my forehand where I basically moved my arm back causing it to lose consistency and power, your advice of putting the racket close to the thigh made my forehand improve by 90%!

Great stuff, Seth. Thanks a lot. I am a player and a trainer, and your tutorial give me profound inspiration.

Good on the bookmarks and edits. Always getting better! Love the side shots paired with front shots for the “finishing over the eyes” section. That helps explain the issue super well.

the point at 11:50 is important but differs for me on the used material as well. For tenergy and dignics it is for sure butter and bread technique. very good and well worked out tipps.

Thank you for another great video. I espcially recognize The going out of control part. It has really helped to do one loop, block and then another loop as you suggested.

Are you making one for common backhand mistakes? This is really to good to be free content.

I love the contrast training, and I use it a lot myself when I need to correct my form.

Quality stuff

As usual amazing video! I am stuck with blocking too much with the forearms. It's close to poke but in the middle of the rally I can't have enough time to charge for the next shot. Like a Harimoto, But the level is way different ,I block until I get a nice shot to smash or drive. lol
