Another thing to ... By: Gzusvictory. on 25 May 12, 02:36:36 Another thing to add on for those like playing mind game can include the person who receives the smash to leave a wider area to their dominant side. This can have a strong influence on the opponent to think, "Oh, they left more? there, so I will smash it there." Then right when they hit the ball, the receiving player can more easily predict where they will smash and can counter hit or counter loop the ball to get into the offensive side of the rally.
If you are ... By: TTPAT25. on 24 May 12, 23:17:44 If you are completly on the left of the table (for a right handed) when attacking the ball you can't easily find your left on the table but a big angle on the right, so the defender has to be on your right if he wants to have a chance to get the? ball, exactly in the axis, the line beetween your position the middle of the net and himself

It's all to do with ... By: kirby4blues. on 23 May 12, 23:12:41 It's all to do with the difficulty of the shot;? positioning the ball when smashing is harder than you think, especially if the ball is lobbed really high.
In general, the better your opponent is the more they will try to play the wide angles.

You don't have to be in the dead center of the possible angles.? I think it is better to have your body in a position so that your forehand has more of the wide angles, simply because your backhand can't possibly cover like your forehand. It just doesn't have the dexterity to do it.

Alois is right, you ... By: gimplar. on 22 May 12, 16:49:53 Alois is right, you should try to avoid getting into a lobbing position if possible. Otherwise well placed lobs can prevent a drop shot. A lob that bounces mid table or closer is the perfect? position for someone to prevent a drop shot. I've also seen someone fake a drop shot to draw the other person in and then top spin it while the opponent is off balance rushing the table.

My more experience friend/coach tells me to loosen my hold slightly, to absorb the force of the ball so that the ball returns to my training partner slow and pretty high. This is only used for practice, but it's a good stepping stone for using blocking in a? game. After a while I found blocking a lot more natural.

By: MrJoeb1993. on 14 May 12, 18:55:27 i? fully agree, i tend to stand slightly wider than what they say, i mean im a big built guy but quite short, so i tend to keep the gap between my feet to probably about 1.5 times what my coaches say, left leg in front of my right by about half a foots distance, and like you say this is mainly for a FH player, which i am along with probably 75% of the world, unless your name is kalinkos kreanga :)
If your feet is ... By: gimplar. on 14 May 12, 14:48:42 If your feet is lined up with your shoulders then you will tend to play a more passive game. If your feet are lined up together then you tend to have a game that favors backhands.
A wider foot spread allows you to quickly move and also to attack lower balls.
A left foot slightly in front of the right foot means? you want to play a very strong forehand game (you will be a player who tends to step around and using a forehand shot from the BH side).
If you're right ... By: gimplar. on 14 May 12, 14:46:52 If you're right handed then yes, having? your left foot slightly in front of your right foot is standard. It shouldn't be MUCH more forward. Maybe the heel of your left foot is aligned with the middle of your left foot's arch.
This helps a little with forward/backward balance but it also is a position that favors a strong FH attack (which is what most players want). This position allows you to get maximum power from hip/shoulder rotation when doing a FH.

1) If the smash is a high ball even a chopper will lob it unless it is to the long pips backhand.
2) get back far enough to let the ball drop (if possible) then execute your stroke-if you chop a high ball high it sits up waaay too much!
3) The stroke depends how much topspin you are taking off-a very lightly? spun flat hit if chopped how you show will go into the bottom of the net or sail off the end line.
just my opinion...sorry
If you want to ... By: gimplar. on 03 May 12, 18:47:53 If you want to train someone's top spin then close to the table blocking is the way to go. If you want to make it more challenging then you can chop block, side spin block or flick your wrist a little to generate some of your own top spin.
This sort of excercise is more targeted to loopers who? want to practice against choppers..and then most people who use this style have long pips on the backhand.
That sort of training is very advanced though.

Well, yes we could ... By: Cl0udN. on 11 Apr 12, 10:14:34 Well, yes we could say Joo can be the sitting duck of the Chinese couple of times, but Joo uses 1/3 of his playing in attack mode merely because he is a defender. If you can clearly observe his videos, you can see that when the rally starts to get longer, and when the ball is already near him, he waits for the chance to flick it and if you're still not over it, try checking out his latest video of? beating Zhang Jike 4-0 in the Slovenian Open 2012.

When I get away ... By: Magicmaster020. on 04 Apr 12, 13:47:29 When I get away from the table a bit I use to take a forhand-loop with? a little extra sidespin. That makes the ball curve in the air very much and when it hits the table it presses the opponent out to the side giving me some extra time to get back to the table. I think its a very useful shot so I have to try this one to! =)

Hi again, I just starting learning how to do the forehand tomahawk serve and my question is how do you keep it low? Because whenever I serve it, it goes high over the net.
Latest comments made on this video:
By: Gzusvictory. on 25 May 12, 02:36:36
Another thing to add on for those like playing mind game can include the person who receives the smash to leave a wider area to their dominant side. This can have a strong influence on the opponent to think, "Oh, they left more? there, so I will smash it there." Then right when they hit the ball, the receiving player can more easily predict where they will smash and can counter hit or counter loop the ball to get into the offensive side of the rally.
By: TTPAT25. on 24 May 12, 23:17:44

That's the point. You should? go to the middle of the possibilities of where the player can smash to. This way you can cover the biggest area.

Thanks!?
By: pingskills. on 24 May 12, 11:22:23
Good point. If you? prefer forehands you can certainly leave a bit more room on that side.
By: kirby4blues. on 23 May 12, 23:12:41
It's all to do with the difficulty of the shot;? positioning the ball when smashing is harder than you think, especially if the ball is lobbed really high. In general, the better your opponent is the more they will try to play the wide angles.

Nice? guide :)
By: BIGBEART8. on 23 May 12, 16:32:21
I agree with everything except for one thing that I think some players would prefer. You don't have to be in the dead center of the possible angles.? I think it is better to have your body in a position so that your forehand has more of the wide angles, simply because your backhand can't possibly cover like your forehand. It just doesn't have the dexterity to do it.
