Thanks a lot for keeping fans posted about the Chinese teams' training just prior to the Paris worlds. Great video. Very good angles and detailed coverage.
Thanks for the nice words. I have worked really hard over the last 5 years filming as much TT as I can all at my own cost. I'm currently working with Henzell on training videos right now. He approached me asking for assistant! Not many people can say they have him as a close friend :)
El medio contraste con los socios que se veían atrás... taban puro lesiando. Faltan espacios así en Chile donde los pro puedan compartir con los novatos/amateur.
Great footage and great editing. Two thumbs for pbsmick, and keep it coming bro. I guess WSA stands for Werner Schlager Academy? I will love to see Zhangjike in practise as well. Excellent job!
Cara muito bom gostei do video parabéns!!! me amarro em tenis de mesa costumo jogar ping pong mas gosto muito de tenis de mesa Nao vejo a hora de comprar minha mesa pq a outra ja era. :(
thats andrej gacina ;) he is a croatian player, he is actualy really good :D hope you do not think that he is a noob who just wants to mess around with ma long
Great video, thanks! It's always interesting to see what practice looks like. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the big white guy (demonstrating more than decent tt) the Croatian Andrej Gacina?
It reminds me of the film Ping Pong 2002 where the trainer was walking around stepping on every single ball and shouting at the players. *crack* "Aaaa there goes another one"
just ignore it. I made my latest video and I thought it was the best one I'd ever made, didn't take long for a handful of people to give it the thumbs down. People just live to try and discourage you but if nobody made the videos you made then TT in Aussie would have nowhere near as amazing coverage on youtube. Don't let it put you off mate :)
only natural that ppl want to know who ma longs training with... and haters generally dislike every video they see best u can do is calm down and dont act like a pissed child...
i think they got paired up that way cuz of the whole ITTF-china-dominance-so they-should-practice-with-foreign-players-too thing. xu xin practicing with achanta
you can see that xu xin has not mastered his back-hand blocks yet. His misses blocking after a few rotations. Perhaps this explains why his back-hand defense during games is quiet poor at times.
if you look at this recent matches you'll see that he's back-hand still needs improvement. it's not bad, but the quality is not as great as someone like wang hao
i would say xu xin's backhand offense is better than defense. he changed playing style two years ago he made a complete switch from traditional pen-hold block to PRB, which was not a positive move. pen-hold players who were initially trained in traditioanl back-hand block usually have problems transitioning to PRB.
if you look at ma lin's playing style, he uses both traditional backhand and PRB, and it's quiet of a nice combination. Xu xin does not use traditional backhand at all.
