Very useful exercise. I think so : need to lower center of gravity, after the serve moving to the left 1/3 from center line, and read racket moving: if moving right or left. And it is not guess and accurately excellent technics.
If you have done the multi-ball training, you should accomplish this Zhang Jike task. Is nothing special, standard coach give you same kind of training. Certainly, this student here, have not done or have not done enough multi-ball, his foot work is too slow.
the student need to move foot in to hit the short ball, not waiting already. You cannot wait for a ball without reading the ball. Is about reading and moving, is not because Zhang Jike give you a fix ball you don't need to read. Need lower the stance
@@kenji2787 That is why you need to read the ball not just the opponent's action, not like the student waiting already just because Zhang Jike give you a fixed short ball. The student is not reading any. He failed to hit many. He expected to be a forehand after a short push, instead Zhang Jike will give the ball to the other corner. Is not too late whatever action opponent takes, you got half of the table to react. That is why you must read the ball, your eyes must follow the ball from other side of the table to your side of the table.
@wonghow it’s not that he’s not reading. He’s doing it because his footwork doesn’t allow him to get to the ball in time for the deep pivot forehand if he waits, so he tried to anticipate it instead. It’s not an easy exercise. I’d like to see you try to jump twice to the back hand corner in time at the moment of the directional switch.
@@kenji2787 yes he is not reading. And why he standing with bat already forward before Jike serve short ball? You never do that just because is fixed short ball. You only move forward after the ball is served. Then he guess the next ball, Jike says to him don't guess.
Zhang Jike is already coaching many students that are kids with help of his father. What is so surprising about the private lessons? Timo Boll and Xuxin does the same, have their own coaching business. Still have many students. Even standard coach will charge you high fee. Xu Xin charges $500/hr in China RMB converts to my market over $100/hr and standard is $60. If occasionally, 1 or 2 times a year is ok, definitely not every time.
the point is to train the footwork. If play backhand don't need to move. Playing forehand on the backhand corner need to move faster, and is also a strategy top players use to hit down the line when the opponent expecting backhand return.
This student is one of the top players at Chinese provincial level, which is equivalent to national level players of other countries except for possibly Japan or Germany. Maybe you didn't get what they are training for: this is a session on footwork. The student needs to do a short push on the forehand side, then immediately run to the far backhand side to do a forehand loop. ZJK asked him not to use his backhand. As far as I know this training is only practiced in Asia because they traditionally stress on attacking with the forehand.
@@shizheliang2679 provisional level? haha, this student is worse than club players I have seen. The training is not special, is common in standard coaching.
@@kenji2787 don't assume anything that people don't know table tennis here. I am only a club player and I trained with Chinese coach, Korean coach, and western coaches.
