When I was a kid in the 90ies, he played for SPVG Steinhagen, which is close to my hometown. He was a gentleman even as an active player! He took his time to talk to other fans and me and my dad about tabletennis, upcoming challenges for the team, other players etc. The whole squad was like that back in the days. Peter Karlsson was also on the team and as its #1 the leading player. Peter Karlsson was such a humble guy even in the beginning of his twenties and as a Doubles World Champion and a World Champion with the Swedish National Team. Tommi Danielsson was also very friendly, especially to kids. He loved to talk about table tennis. While remembering, I realize how much I miss the great times.
This was so cool. Would be awesome to see a series from other world class coaches. From Hugo’s coach, Harimoto’s coach, etc. just a few tips from each.
Richard Prause Great guy, great coach and also great at commentating on matches. Watch Timo Boll VS Zhang Jike 2011 Wttc I love how much knowledge he gives out while commentating.
What great advice he is giving. He really nails it. Not just giving the standard advice, but giving technique improvement tips. Even if the one or the other tip might seem obvious, it is good to here them and rethink. Thanks Dan for sharing this gem.
Glad you enjoyed the video Fabian, thanks for watching. Richard really is an incredible coach 🏓 Interesting you said that, I agree when someone such as Richard says something it reinforces the basics and makes you really believe in it to.
I think it would be worth doing a follow up video. He speaks with some serious knowledge and I learned a lot, possibly the most out of every Ttd video ever.

Back when I was starting to play TT, I have always wondered why Timo's forehand is dominating in Europe. Now this video answers it all. Thanks Dan! This content is gold.
Glad you liked the Video Muhammad, I will try to do more of these once the lockdown is lifted 💪 meanwhile we got loads of tactics on our tabletennisdailyacademy website if your looking for more🏓🏓
Forehand exactly same like timo, i will try to copy and practice that amazing move (the serve also) 😁. Thank you so much for the tips Dan. Keep safe. I love tt
Great tips and a great video Dan. I am also waiting for you to upload more episodes of ttd team since you already played two more matches. I really enjoy that series and i hope you finish top of the table.
This is fantastic. Some very effective coaching advice in small enough chunks to make it easy to remember. Perhaps you can do more videos like this with coaching tips where you receive the coaching. Enjoyed this one a lot and have some good info to pass into my kids. Great job! Thanks!
These tips are golden! An old man from my club taught me wrist movement a long long time ago. Now, with years of practice, I always get over-rated by people due to the quality of my forehand topspins.
RP is not being precise in his description of the wrist dynamics 4:12 . The acceleration is at the greatest when the wrist is bent *UP* position just before the impetus from the forearm starts the acceleration of the hand/blade unit. The tendon down the thumb-side of the wrist-forearm stores snap-energy. You will notice 3:23 in the back-swing phase that he actually has the blade pointing somewhat *UP* . This all sounds confusing, but top-level players who perpetually maintain a blade-down position can never achieve wrist-spin: their spin is done with a very efficient _forearm_ snap instead, with energy being stored in the biceps insertion tendon. Notice Timo himself 5:17 , frame by frame: _he never snaps through with the wrist_ , the blade remains _down_ throughout the contact-period.
@@-danR Yes! That is correct. Just before the swing starts, while the arms are waiting in the back, wrist is in a relax position, racket pointing up. As soon as the swing starts, racket gets left behind, wrist starts to stretch back and then hits a limit, and then snaps or 'bounces' back up right when you're about to hit the ball. I believe ZJK still does this wrist movement.
Richie‘s forehand topspin is just on another level. I had the chance to watch him play live in the German third league. The pros said that he has the most rotation in his fh ts, even more than Timo. Unbelievable wrist acceleration and touch.
Hey Hubetube agreed it's so super spinny! Really interesting other players said it's the spiniest they have ever come across. Does he still play 3rd league or was this a while back? 🏓
He plays now "oberliga" on second postition in his team which is fifth highest league in Germany. He. had till the last season still about 2200 ttr.. (German rank points) bundesliga has 2400-2500 chinese 2600- 2700 which is crazy. One of my club mates was playing in the fourth league with him togethe and told us , that prauses footwork is just better than a lot of young players and that he can see weaknesses from opponents very easily.
as julie Andrew's once said: an amateur practices something till they get it right, s professional practices something until they never get it wrong...
For using the wrist Its good to relax explode and relax Like relax during the frontswing ( the weight of the racket and its inertia will put you in the bent position) and at the moment of contact , explode and flick the wrist And on the recovery backswing relax so that the rackets momentum will re bend the wrist Try swinging your elbow ( with or without the racket) and adjust your wrist that you naturally flick and recover it
It's exactly how I did it. I have "taken" one topspin service and was training it every day for half hour. But I have used like box of balls not to run around to pickup one ball all the time. But now I'm confident, I can do this service. 😁 Sometimes one hour with good coach can do more than one year of nosence playing.
Whether to make an extra brush movement during forehand topspin or not IMHO is pretty debatable. This can add instability during topspin execution. Put your thumb up under this message if you think the same. ;)
Dan, I like the fact you have put caption on when you speak when your native language is English and none when RP talks and he is German. 🤣 He is more understandable than you. 😉
Sometimes Dan speaks very fast and it is hard to get everything... Ha, ha, ha... As you mentioned above... They don't use recived pronunciation... But sometimes it is not easy to me to understand when he speaks that fast
Hey guys so something a bit different today... What do you think of Richard Prause's advice? 🔥 Be sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE 🏓
TableTennisDaily you are the best
Please play with pongfinity
I really really thank to you for sharing this with us.
Loved the video
Awesome
the real coach, talk to the player not to the camera
What a nic guy Richard is. Such a gentleman. I bet Timo learned this from his coach too. 😊

@@TableTennisDaily which blade and rubber Richard prause using ?
Even today Richards footwork is still incredible, he is our german ryu seung-min xD
He should switch to penholder 🤣
Never heard of him before, but I did notice he was crazy fast
Ummm... I don't think I'd go that far. I haven't seen anyone nearly as fast as Ryu
No one even compares with Ryu Seung Min. He was in a league of his own.
He is probably one of the most proud coaches of all time
Actually, Helmut Hampl is the life-time coach of Timo Boll. He discovered him as a kid.
Richard is such a humble and friendly coach ! Really highlighting the key points of using the wrist and the importance of a good service

You feel immediately that he knows what he's talking about.

I'm really missing table tennis so much and keep up the work dan👍👍
Thanks Preyansh. Hopefully we will be back on the tables soon 😀

Forehand exactly same like timo, i will try to copy and practice that amazing move (the serve also) 😁. Thank you so much for the tips Dan. Keep safe. I love tt
Thank you for watching 💪. Yeah Prause forehand is crazy good!
What a Master! Thanks for this one Dan.
Unbelievable practice tipps!
What a nice and knowledgeable coach. Must be a joy training with him.
Great tips and a great video Dan. I am also waiting for you to upload more episodes of ttd team since you already played two more matches. I really enjoy that series and i hope you finish top of the table.
We have one more for the juniors and one more for the seniors to come 💪🏓
Prause dropping some gems here, don't practice serving for more than 40 minutes. Small but vital information
Very good advise 👌
I hung out with Richard a little at a US Open in the early 1990s. Great guy! I would LOVE to practice with him and get coaching some time.
What a guy!! Thanks for watching 🙌

Dan‘s playing style actually looks like a right handed version of Timo Boll.
Ricardo Walthers style is very much a right handed Boll
Definitely not
Types of European style
@@jamal7840 not the same level with timo but definitely the same forehand and posture
Haha
Though I have been playing table tennis for forty years, I still reckon Richard's advice are invaluable.
The info about the wrist is so vital. Thank you for this video!!!
Thanks Dan and Richard, some great tips !
Thanks for watching AB glad you enjoyed the video 🙌
Great content, would love to see more in-depth stuff like this.
Amazing tips! Richard is very knowledgable.

TableTennisDaily hey dan! it was a while back. I don’t know the date but I would say it must have been around 4 years ago.
I naturally learnt to add the wrist to my forehand top spins at a very young age.
So much rotation in his forehand! Amazing !💪
Now we see where Timo gets his amazing forehand from 🏓
Awesome video. The quality of spin is immense. The advise will help a lot of players from young to old.
Hey yeah I agree big shot. Unreal amount of spin, a lot can be learnt from his advice with the wrist etc 🏓
Many thanks! Here's what to show !!!!
Thanks for the support 💪🏓
Very cool guy with amazing tipps! Thanks a lot! If he don`t know what to do, he can train me. :)
love this! More content like this plz!
brilliant opinions from the true coach! thanks TTD!
Thanks for tuning in Giovanno 💪💪💪
Those are some world class training tips right there.

Such a crucial discipline to have 👌
just uaaauuu, amazing tips for spin and serves :-) thanks Dan for sharing this for us

I wish he was at the Werner Schlager academy still I’d love to go take lessons from him.
That's inspirational :D
ouaou :! so interesting ! 👍 repeat with other high level coach other video ! 🙏
this one is awsome , thx so much, i love 😀

Wow, great advice even for beginners!
You can tell a great player by their footwork. The same applies for badminton and most sports. A great player seems to mostly be in the right position
Very nice 👏👏👏 a worderfull class 👏👏
Great stuff. Would be great to have similar sessions with Rosskopf and other coaches
One of the most respected coach in Europe with Ferenc Karsai
Wow. That's great!
best coach !!! wunderbar
Class vidd
awesome guy he is.
Timo is the best
Wow, great video Dan
Thanks Henry!
Good. Can you do review for Butterfly Revoldia CNF?
Great coach!
Nice tips!!
TIMO BOLL'S coach really gives the best tips to me for the serves :D
Was richard using tenergy or dignics
Nice advice
Dan, can you please answer the most important question - what rubbers was Richard using?
Look at that stance, effortless.
Haha yeah he was toying with me 😁
Good morning! Service we're you can find a set from goal the stream all the watch video.
Dan, are you still here? Do you know what rubbers (and what is their thickness) and blade he uses?
Isnt Richard the guy who commentates for the ITTF?
Noticed from his voice
Very good
Awesome top spin
🔥🔥
The one dislike is from the last player you defeated
Aha always 1 isn't there 😂
Respect him
Super awesome
🏓👍Danke Richi!
Please review Dignigs 09c We are waiting
Awesome
I really would like see Adam Brown play table tennis with you coach. The type of both is like the same I guess.
Dan, I like the fact you have put caption on when you speak when your native language is English and none when RP talks and he is German. 🤣 He is more understandable than you. 😉
Sometimes Dan speaks very fast and it is hard to get everything... Ha, ha, ha... As you mentioned above... They don't use recived pronunciation... But sometimes it is not easy to me to understand when he speaks that fast
really😁 that gentleman is more understandable than Dan 😁😁
Richard Prause was the coach of the national team before Roßkopf took over.
We very appreciate DAN IS TT DAILY DON
