Moving Tips No One Tells You with Seth Pech 

these footwork break downs are pure gold. This is the foundation of all stable players

This is the best table tennis channel on youtube! I love your detailed explanations and attitude. The problem with coaches is that they have stopped learning. They dont understand why something is difficult and they often give very perscriptive advice. I love that you share the struggle you have taken and continue to take to get where you are. It inspires me to continue to improve at the beautiful, demanding and at times frustrating game!

Hands down the best table tennis tutorial channel!

Great tips. Very practical and useful.

Very good video. The break down analysis using video examples from World Class players and then you performing it is great. I look forward to seeing more soon!

Absolutely brilliant!

As always totally brilliant analysis of tactics. Many thanks.

Great video as always. Thanks for sharing

Great video! Excited to see what else you might be able to share with us. It’s always great to see things that you can’t find elsewhere

I have almost all the issues that you mentioned..right foot ahead of left, moving up with one foot and stepping back with one..very useful tips..

wow your video contents are great!!! very keen on details i've watch a lot of videos and yours brief but on point, this will help many players i'm glad to came accross these tutorials especially abt your observations on fan's footwork thanks!!!

Excellent Tutorial.Footwork is so important.Really liked the Way Ma Long integrates his footwork with the serve to get the quickest ready position.

you're awesome! thank you for this!

Favorite video so far. Great explanation on moving. So many coaches just say "move" and never explain how.

amazing, please have more similar content. never seen this kind of content anywhere on internet. thanks!

Brilliant stuff Seth, your breakdown of the techniques Reaaly make it work - excellent!

You've really got the best TT lessons on youtube. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! They are invaluable!

Thanks for the great video. I like your style of presenting in an easy to understand way. I appreciate your way of teaching that let's you work to duplicate the techniques.

This was the best video I’ve seen that explains these footwork concepts so easily. You’re very good at what you do!

Awesome content! I hope to see more like this soon!

I really hadn't thought about the last one before, thanks!

this is a very informative video for me as i am a intermediate player and i have so much to learn. thank you for the tutorial.

Thank you for sharing another quality video. Footwalk is a key to the become a good player.

The best table tennis channel, bravo! 👏

Nice of your video using the top players as an example to gain knowledge in footworks. Loved your videos.Great job!

Love it. Very insightful video, thanks :)

What I've noticed aswell is that before Fan Zhendong uses the backhand flip on the receive, Ma Long is already on the left side of the table preparing for his own forehand, which is great place to be, since he can move to the left and right in an instant for big forehand shot, even if Fan sends it to the right, he just jumps there and still hits the forehand, and if he sends it more to the middle of his body, he just jumps left and still is able to forehand incoming ball.

Very interesting tips, thx !

Just subscribed! Going to practice those footwork soon. Thanks

Your videos are one of the best instructional videos. Great job I also wish you the best success in 2024.

Thanks for sharing. I really like the tip about FZD backwards cross step. I hadnt noticed that one before. This is a timely video because reviewing footage from recent my recent match play I noticed I move really awkwardly (poor weight transfer) in that situation. Thank-you!

Thank you very much for that Input Champ, A lot of people would want some Money for all those great topics from your Site. Wish you all the best

Excellent Video

This is amazing!

I totally enjoyed it... Strong Quads!!

Outstanding thank you

Thank you sir, it's the best series I've seen so far. It helps me to improve and reconsider everything I do by the table. The other day I spotted that I tend to change my grip slightly between forehand and backhand strokes. For a backhand one I try to fix my grip with my thumb. I was wondering if it's okay or normally people hold a racket in a fixed, steady way?

Hey Seth...great video. I have been requesting persons do a video about "bouncing" footwork on in and out movement and between strokes. Maybe you could do so?

Thank you Seth for sharing all this, I agree that your channel is the best on you tube so far! I wanted to suggest a new video for something that I couldn't find anywhere yet, which is what is the best stroke you can make upon the type of ball you receive. Like what you may do with a back and leftside spin ball. What are good and bad option? The easiest? the safest? I saw many advice on how to read the spin but not much on choosing a stroke upon that. While it's easy to top or push a backspin or block a topspin, the side, no spin (or floating, like against pimple and antitop) or cork spin make it hard to choose an appropriate stroke.

Verry gut thanks.

Great details and nice explanations, as usual! What helped me the most, was the 'pushing back with both feet' in order to get in position to attack the next ball. Of course sometimes i do it naturally. But i will focus on it in practice more. The hard part about it is, anticipating where your opponents move will go. Especially when he pushes back your push. As shown in the video, after you resettle with both feet, you stay far from the table. If your opponent pushes short, you must be very quick in order to get back in. Question: do you just do this move, when your opponent attacks your push? Then it makes sense. You just have to be very quick, because the attack is mostly in a advantageous position due to the effect of surprise. Or do you use to generally, as some kind of hop in and out thing like oldschool american kickboxers were constantly bouncing on their feet?

Please do more of it! This really is no one tells u series

Best videos on tt to date. Huge problem on your footwork patterns around 3:40ish though, let me explain. Do not and i repeat do not cross your left foot first across your right leg when playing to a wide ball, this is completely out of balance and not efficient for next ball recovery.You must give it all you've got to try and recover balance and poise, hard to do when under pressure. 1. If the Ball is hit wide and fast to your forehand your first movements are BACK then ACROSS, YES, BACK then ACROSS. If you move ACROSS FIRST, the ball will catch up with you and you will be forced into the crossover feet position,NOT GOOD. That crossover is an ABSOLUTE last resort when you have no option left to try and save the point. 2. Your footwork patterns at around 6:0 mins. are absolutely spot on and are to be strongly encouraged by all, BACK then ACROSS here,beautiful footwork!

This is gold

Very good footwork video, you've solved one of my big problem 1. Proper footing for WIDE FOREHAND, 2. POWER STANCE AFTER SERVE, land same time WITH BOTH FEET 3. MOVING AROUND THE LEFT CORNER WITH SPACE 4. AFTER MOVING IN, PUSHING BACK WITH BOTH FEET (NO LAZY FOOT) 5. backwards FOREHAND CROSS STEP

Hi Seth, You instructions are excellent. It will be great if you could create a series focused on how to improve your playing skills practicing with a robot. Eg. TT Robot 101 - Moving Skills TT Robot 102 - Forehand Looping Etc etc.

thanks!!!

Hi pechpong, im from indonesia.. After see many pingpong channel on youtube.. i can say this is the best pingpong channel.. i m so blessed accidently found this pechpong channel.. thx so much.. i really like all your video and explaination.. thx so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Maravilloso 👏👏👏👏

What a surprise video. Makes me think about moving and what the pros do in a whole different light. How much do you use the robot in a week? It's great for working on this stuff.

I like how you pointed out ready position after the serve. Not only is that important to get ready for the opponents return but also it is a very important point in the entire service technique P.S. I would like see more guides and tutorials on table tennis

Very interesting 👍😀

Nice, Thanks...

Hi ! Your videos are veeery intresting!!! Can you share also some advices on robors....? When to buy it how to use it? How to choose one.......etc. Thanks for all your advices!!🤗🤗

Great content. I've been playing for 5 years and I've never seen serve recovery split step stance mentioned. Definitely going to try it out!

thx a lot sir

More on footwork please!!

It is nice video. It will be great if you could cover the practices (For example steps climbing) to improve different types of movements.

Thank you Boss

Thanks Seth, the only problem with you vids they are very forehand oriented. I’m naturally backhand oriented player and now my forehand footwork becomes better that make more shots forehand. Not that I’m complaining, it’s a nice problem to have rather than having bad sides 😂 I just wish there are contents as good as yours for backhand players so I can go back to be backhand dominant lol.

Dang, really nice content. Could you do a video on the short game? A lot of advice I see is just "push or flick it" but something more in depth would be great.

Great!

Great video! Awesome content, but I want to point out few things: 1. After moving in, push back with both feet is completely wrong. When you push in your body weight is forward on your dominant (hand) foot, and therefore you push with that foot. What XX does is to push with his left foot, get to normal stance, jump back with both feet to prepare counter. 2. The last FZD footwork, you somewhat get the idea of the footwork but you don't seem to understand the point. This footwork is done when you're on the ready to hit position (weight already shifted to dominant foot; you didn't do this with the robot) but the ball comes towards your body (elbow). The point of this footwork is to allow you to transfer weight as much as possible on your topspin rather than doing passive stroke.

Great content! I know my footwork doesn't exist. Hopefully I can improve!

This is definitely the thinking guy/gal's table tennis channel. Lots of value shared, and lots more to come. You have an instant subscriber right there :) I have a tip for you, as I think you're open-minded enough to consider it: your physical strength can get in the way of your technique (how efficiently you use your body) and just because you CAN make a very decent and reasonably powerful stroke relying on muscle strength - sometimes you do... What I would encourage you to try (as an "experiment" of sorts) is to PRETEND you were NOT-strong, like a child that has not yet developed their full strength and therefore MUST use their "force from the goround-up", efficient weight transfer and rotation to generate the power for the stroke, and naturally follow through with their playing arm in a super-relaxed and "loose" manner (as they don't have the strength to "fake/force" it anyway) (NB: "loose" like in track and field sprinting events - brief generation of power, followed by deliberate relaxation). (For the record, I am nowhere near your level, and will likely never reach it - and yet I feel there's value in you trying this "fake weakness => forced looseness" experiment)

Hello! I had a question about pushing with both feet when retreating from the table. After the step in to receive a serve, should you take a small step back (so your feet are now even) and then retreat by pushing with both feet, or do you go for the big jump back immediately after the step in? In the clips it looks like Xu Xin does it both ways (first immediately jumping back, and then taking a small step back followed by a big step back). I've been doing the two step movement, but was wondering if I should be doing the 1 step movement you demonstrated. Thanks for the video!

Talking about "after moving in pushing back", pushing back with both feet help if the ball is long after short push , but if the ball is short again what happen ? if i move both feet i have to do 2 steps , left forward right forward , if i move only the right back is 1 step , right back right forward, if you watch Fang in the last video he move only the right leg , so i belive is a problem of intuition about how the ball will come after a short push , or how much are you fast in moving your legs, not everyone as Xu Xin rapidity , or is good when you push long a short ball, thank you to give opportunities to discuss and analyze ttennis particular aspects.

Hello, could you shed some light on spacing? Like moving forward or back. I tend to stay in a sweet spot where I can barely touch the table with my paddle. I catch myself not moving back unless I make a really big mistake then I move back 5 steps preparing for a smash. Any tips on how to gauge how far you need to be from the table?

hi, another very unusual and very nice, useful tuitorial video. i wonder if you would like to share your mrmories or experiences on the psychological side of being a competitive sportsman. like what kind of life does it demand, how do you mentally prepare yourself for the tournaments and each matches, your thoughts during the matches when things look ok or vice versa thank you. i am playing for fun and don't really enjoy playing for points as it ruins my play dramatically, as i find it difficult to handle psychologically. but i really admire people who can cope this cgallenge

How do we move forward to hit a ball when we are back of the table

Good

Hi coach, hope u have a good day. I think your movement in the backward forehand cross step is a bit false in comparison to the original version of FZD. I saw in the video FZD hit the ball with normal movement of a forehand stroke but he generated greater power to move cross from his right leg to the left while i think you only use your upper body.. Its just my personal view, sorry i got yours wrong, im just a boy who really loves table tennis but not too good at it. Btw, your videos are really helpful, clear and effective, thank you!

I think you learn to bounce around with your calf muscles in squat position automatically when you play a lot of table tennis, instead of shuffeling the legs, crossing them and whatnot.

Please make video on chop block

smart content

👍

Yes it’s the best Chanel of ping pong, for intermediate to advanced players, maybe some professional players will find it helpful too. Over time I have seen “23,000 rating” players who make a lot of wrong movements, they play so good because they play 2-4 hours per day every fucking day, it’s insane 😂 and they still have wrong movements.

So i have a question: How do you fix something permanently? I feel like my level goes up but also down. Its very demoralising. I think i may just need a coach but do you have any other tips?

Push and double feet backstep is a discovery for me! Makes sense cause you're directly in "in pai"
