Its a very good video. I like both the parts. But all theses tricks should be shown/ closed focus i in one single movement please. Great basics you are sharing, really to upscale the game.
it would be better if we could see the ball how it moves on the table apart from the racket and the contact point. I mean the whole table and not just a bounce part
Hello Coach, can you pls help- i am right handed serving regular pendulum serve from left corner. I have hard time serving straight along the left side of the table from my perspective (short or long) and very easy time serving diagonal to the right hander backhand. How to make the serving easy and similar looking to both sides? what is the trick in the body mechanics i miss in that i cant serve along the left line, please?
Aside cleaning with water/sponge after every session , what else can be done to keep the rubber in top shape. I use Andro R45 each side for 6 months, play 6 hours per week. Thanks for the very good lesson.
Can you go over how to return side spins? I can see my opponent doing side spin, but I cannot quickly know which way I need to aim to compensate for the spin. Especially when they mix left and right spin between serves. I feel like I'm just flipping a coin every time I see the side spin coming.
If the server serves a left side spin (ball moves in a clockwise direction from the server's PoV), you also have to touch the ball on its left side (the server's left, i.e. your right) to stop the spin of the ball and send it over the net in a more or less in a straight directon; if there is right side spin on it (ball moves in a counter clockwise direction from the server's PoV), you also have to touch the ball on its right(server's right, i.e. your left)to stop the spin and send it low over the net. A right handed person's backhand serves are normally right sidespin serves; whereas his or her's pendulum serves have left sidespin on the ball; likewise his or her's reverse pendulum serve would have right sidespin on it. Similarly, you can analyse other serves as well and prepare strategies to counter them: tomahawk, pendulum/reverse pendulum, etc. Hope this helps.
You can also see the the hand movements in order to determine which spin has been put on the ball: for a right handed server, if his paddle hand goes from his rightside to his leftside (more or less) in order to execute the serve, then it is a left side spin; if his right hand goes from his left to his right while executing the serve, it is a right spide spin serve.
Tip 3 There is ABSOLUTELY no physical law that justifies your idea that the amount of spin would be different depending on the spots of the bat you indicate. The distance from the hand, yes, it plays the role. The angular velocity depends on this distance. But in your example, both spots are at the same distance from the center of rotation. So they produce the SAME impact on the ball. And thanks for your tips!
HI! Question: if the player rotates the wrist, but if the ball contacts on top (final) of the rubber (instead of sliding from the beginning from the rubber), the ball goes with no-spin?? Thx!
