I love the fact that you made only 5 minute videos on forehand and backhand explaining only the Very important things!! A lot of the times coaches make 30 minute videos explaining and giving tips on so much things making us amateur players confused! your 5 minute videos help out a lot more thank you think!! Thanks anders for all the work :D
Hey Anders! I really like your style and videos. How do you stay focused while trying to reach your goal in table tennis? Either inside table and outside. How do you work around distractions? Thank you
To be honest what you just asked is a thing i am terrible at. So i cant give you a good answer to this question😔 but if you find one. Please tell it to me aswell 🤣
Hola Anders! if you can hear me, i have something genuine to say to you man! i stopped playing table tennis since 4 n half years ago. due to demotivation, stagnant improvement and bad tournaments. i have always endorsed and has been fascinated with this creative, unorthodox mix style of play. like xu Xin, koki niwa, Zhou qihao, Alexis lebrun, truls moregard,etc. but its because of you! and watching your gameplay, of course your RUclips channel too, that i have cleaned my old bat and started playing all over again. and man i have been flying since! THANK YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! you have no idea how much influence you have with your playstyle. its so refreshing and fun to watch. players like you make the game fun and broaden the horizon. unlike the robotic conventional mainstream only attacking playing style. your slices, chopblocks, seatbelt counters, inverted backhands and the sweet sweet strawberries are breathtaking to watch. KEEP INSPIRING CHAMP!
@@AnderslindTT if you don't mind me asking. my no.1 problem in forehand is that, my elbow keep rising up/ elevated, when making a forehand topspin resulting in poor contact, lack of control, consistency and power. fixed it many times, but keep happening in tensed situation. any tips?
@@seeker3983 when things happen in tense situations there are 2 ways to fix.. 1 practice it so much that your muscle memory only remembers 1 technique 2 when you get this issue and its happening in the moment and you feel tense. Take a 20second break and prepare for the next point in your head and make sure you have had a thought process going over this issue. That should help😁
Anders , your channel is by far the best I’ve seen!! I subscribe to many others and really appreciate the way you breakdown what you are teaching in such a simple way for the audience to understand.. great job
Thank you too Anders.. You're doing a great job to inform us of thinks that matters, from the pro athlete as you. And thanks very much for your passion, I'm sure, that the energy of the universe are supporting you and you'll be thank for all this, for what you have been doing for others people..🏓🏆 ❤🔥
Hey Anders, are you able to share your weekly routine for table tennis? Like each day do you practice different parts of your game and repeat each week? Asking as a person starting to practice everyday.
Hey. I dont really cordinate what i prac in each day I just make sure that 1. Practice the things im good at to make sure it stays good. And 2 prac on 1 or 2 areas im weak at to try and.improve these
I don't have ball in the gym so I took a rubber band. Tie it with dumbbell rack. Started shadow swing footwork with the forehand. I can feel the power generating in this training!!
Anders - it would be great to hear your thoughts on how to choose a rubber and bay to suit one’s style. There are so many different bats and rubbers…I used to think that because I was an offensive player i needed an offensive rubber and bat. In fact my game improved when I switched to a slower spinier rubber (from Tenergy 64 to Dignics 09C)..I got a lot of control back
Which rubber u need depends a lot on your technique. So its really personal which rubber suits each player the best. But go on your feeling. If you find something you like. Dont doubt it, stay with it 😁
@@AnderslindTT Thanks Anders - appreciate the feedback and the time and effort you put into these videos. Looking forward to more. We have a great club in Cape Town with excellent players and so if you are ever in SA do reach out
Hi Anders, great work as always, your videos are very useful. There's one thing that I've never understood in my two years playing table tennis: how much should you angle your racket when you do a topspin? Does it change based on the height and the spin on the ball?
The angle will change based on the rubber you're using, the spin of the ball, the steepness of the ball's falling trajectory, and the speed of the ball.
Cool that you made so many videos lately! I live in Norway, so these days I am out doing a lot of cross country skiing which helps with the same muscles 😊
Great YT channel!👏 I'm amateur player. I play with bluestorm pro 2.0 -FH( 2 month, it is good rubber) Do you recommend that i move on to bluestar ( A1,A2,A3) ?
Hi Anders, great and detailed explanations ! I will support you in your next competitions ! But how do you train your shoulders/arms/wrists for the high acceleration in table tennis ? Or do you think with normal training on the table they are trained enough ?
I think for the most part normal tt training is enough. Its very hard to improve speed from lifting weights. But the thing you can do is make sure to lift light. Extremely explosive movements. 😁
Hello Anders. Can I ask you a question? My sweaty palm always makes my blade handle wet and slippery. Do you have similar problem? What is the best solution to deal with it? Thank you.
@@AnderslindTT Hi Anders. I know that weight trânsfer and hip rotation are crucial for powerful aggressive forehand loop. My problem is that I cannot put those techniques in real games. My body is often so stiff that I cannot even strike a powerful forehand loop. What should I do to solve the problem? Thank you.
Do you know a good exercise for your shoulder? I feel like this part starts to hurt when I train more often. Or could it be bad technique causing some pain? Also, thank you for the great Videos Anders!
Im actually dealing with a shoulder injury myself at the moment. And the solution to mine is to do exercises for it. If you want them just text me in insta or fb. Then i can try to help
A very good 5 minutes' worth, which I will recommend to junior players, but n.b. you keep saying "catch", when I think you mean "hold it there" or "stop" or "stay on balance", i.e. don't topple over! Perhaps HOLD is the best.
If i warm up before would this be a great work (doing the 5 exercises)? or are those just some excersises you would in general recommend to introduce to our workout. Also i am intermediate player with quite good techinque, but recently i had an injury and was sick and since then i struggle to stay low and mostly forehand from teh arm in a match scenario. If i force being low i become to tense and slow. Any tips on how to approach that?
Its mainly for warmup. Its not a hard program. But if you do it everyday over some time it should definitely help in your control and cordination of legs and hips
Ofc upper body is also important.. but every single muscle on the body is important in that sense.. i believe lower back and stomach + legs are by far the most important
How to do a BH flick? How to respond to a BH flick? When to use a BH flick? Why use a BH flick? When to use a BH flick? Fh flick vs BH flick Serve receives, how and why? How to respond third ball?
The second exercise also known as "Skater slide". Thanks for sharing these useful tips, much appreciated. Would be also great to know what kind of stretch exercises you are doing before and after trainings. Cheers
Anders, can you please do a video on any solutions you may know to work around an injury that may happen during play such as a calf tear which may require you to reduce the amount of weight you put on the ball of that foot, but you can still put weight on the heel. Thank uou
I would also want to mention that - unless you are very young or of the athletic type - muscle training should be accompanied by stretching. Here, those are the quads (cause you work hard on them), and - a little counter intuitive - the hip flexors, which are the muscles that are contracted through your exercises (not the last one...). They are actually almost always contracted throughout any active training session if your body is bent as it should be if you play dynamic table tennis (especially when you are tall...)
Ok, good exercises!) But what about bad exercises? What do you think there are some popular exercises, like workout or athletic, etc that can decrease our pingpong skills? I feel that a wrist is very important to play well, so sometimes I think some workout can make it less flexible. What's your opinion?
hi Anders, i like the level of detail and emphasis on fundamentals in your videos. question: i'm a beg-int player, i learned w/out a coach initially. been playing 10 years. lots of bad habits & poor body mechanics to unlearn. how do you suggest i can get better at what you say in your videos about "turning the body in unison". are there some exercises & tips to learn to synchronize the push off leg, turning of hips, firing of core, turning of shoulders and the right tension in the body for the best strokes? (what happens with me is that it's very much "not in unison"...my arm moves for a shot more than my body turns, or sometimes my body turns but the arm feels tense... thanks! :)
I also struggle with this type of problems but sometimes, in the good days, I do not so much. First you are probably thinking two much and moving to little. Good shots are about timing and positioning. If make a shot and wasting time looking and not moving you will not able to prepare for the next shot. When I say prepared, you should be in good position for stroke and have a short time for pause before hitting the ball. The pause is for balancing your body, inhale, relax arm. If you checked all of the above and still not good, you are probably thinking how to make the stroke as you are doing it. Many times I find myself in good places but my mind plays tricks on me. Explosive exercises, like the ones Anders presents here are very good for syncing your movement. If you hit the ball without thinking too much about your body but more about contact, your body will fill in the gaps. Also please have in mind that we need to make contact with the ball in front of our eyes. If you aim for this many things will adjust : body position, tilt, timing, etc. And very important is to activate the hips, without hip rotation you won't be able to integrate movements.
I have a question; How to deal with short-pips and long-pips, that other tt player is use them on the table to hope to win the points from my mistakes and wants to kill the ball with his forehand and cetera, what we can do against such player!? We already know, to not add/serve with side-spin, but preferable to push long, one push one attack/drive and other stuff like that. But if we're have a spirit of an attacker and we want to attack a good/perfect quite each ball that comes, what we can do in addition sir Lind ?😄
Based for a medium-low players from medium-low league series, but with a enough good attacking skills and mindset ( I'm writing and I'm not intending only me, it may be in my opinion someone else as me or simply an attacker).
Excellent as are all your other videos! At some point, could you put a video out of a simple game plan? I realize thats a huge topic, but something simple to do from the time of the serve (or recieve) into the rallys. Hearing this from the prespective of a pro (but geared towards an amateur) would be helpful. Thanks!
Anders, thanks for this great video on power, strength and balance! Slowly I slipped towards a more hypertrophy type of home training, so this is a good reset for me. It is very important to distinguish between the two, as 1. strength and 2. hypertrophy have different needs and outcomes. The first needs improvement in overall body efficiency, while the later needs ways to make the movements less efficient (i.e. you need more time under tension, slow eccentric moves, weights, etc.). Many things revolve around strength (acceleration, balance, power output, speed) so it should be a primary goal in fitness training. We can increase strength (muscle efficiency, contraction speed, fiber recruitment) with types of exercises that Anders presents: body or low weight, explosive movements, low repetition range and consistency over time. Muscle burn and energy depletion should be avoided, consistency and focus are key. In other words, if you have an exercise at which you can do 10-12 reps, you should stop at 5-6 reps. Those reps should be as explosive as you can, with focus on the movement itself, not muscle isolation or firing sequence and whole body involvement. Long rest times are needed between sets (~5 minutes). You can do these as many times a day as you want, just be sure not to compromise daily training (or at least 3-5 times a week). Remember: consistency over time is key. I would add mid section training here in the same fashion. Pick your preferred abs exercise and do the same: 5 to max.9 reps of explosive movements x 2 to 5 sets. I used to do crunches this way and I was surprised to feel muscles in places I never felt before (inguinal area). Grip strength should also be improved. Same deal here. Find a variable resistance gripper, chose a low to medium resistance setting ( relative to you), and make those fists as you would want to crush the gripper. I was very surprised that I was able to launch some heavy loop bombs yesterday after only two days of grip exercises. The difference between hand power output could be a good indicator that we can improve speed and acceleration by improving strength, generally speaking. It is counter intuitive, but the non-dominant hand is stronger in terms of grip than dominant side. I'm right handed but I cannot squeeze as hard and as fast as with my left hand. As I understand the explanation would be that the brain assigns more resources for dexterity type of activities in dominant hand. Fitness for table tennis is much more than strength training but we can get a lot better by making what we have more efficient.
Hi Anders I recently just found your channel and it’s very great and helpful to me. I have some questions to ask you about the grip. Do you change grip when you do fh and bh. I always hold the blade by using forehand grip for both backhand and forehand. For forehand it’s great but for backhand it’s difficult to do strong shot for chiquita. Though I try to use thumb for backhand but it’s confusing me when playing match. Any suggestions or advices on this. Thank you in advance.
Would you please do anything about serve disguising? There’s a lot of RUclipsrs, speaking about pendulum or reverse pendulum or whatsoever. Kind of serve. But there’s only a few and I searched in many languages, speaking about how to do a tricky serve That will be really interesting to listen for like 10 minutes, or more from a very high ranked player like you, Andreas How to disguise or pendulum or reverse pendulum , or Backhand , serve and so on ❤

Slowly I slipped towards a more hypertrophy type of home training, so this is a good reset for me. It is very important to distinguish between the two, as 1. strength and 2. hypertrophy have different needs and outcomes. The first needs improvement in overall body efficiency, while the later needs ways to make the movements less efficient (i.e. you need more time under tension, slow eccentric moves, weights, etc.).

Those reps should be as explosive as you can, with focus on the movement itself, not muscle isolation or firing sequence and whole body involvement. Long rest times are needed between sets (~5 minutes). You can do these as many times a day as you want, just be sure not to compromise daily training (or at least 3-5 times a week). Remember: consistency over time is key.
I would add mid section training here in the same fashion. Pick your preferred abs exercise and do the same: 5 to max.9 reps of explosive movements x 2 to 5 sets. I used to do crunches this way and I was surprised to feel muscles in places I never felt before (inguinal area).
Grip strength should also be improved. Same deal here. Find a variable resistance gripper, chose a low to medium resistance setting ( relative to you), and make those fists as you would want to crush the gripper. I was very surprised that I was able to launch some heavy loop bombs yesterday after only two days of grip exercises. The difference between hand power output could be a good indicator that we can improve speed and acceleration by improving strength, generally speaking. It is counter intuitive, but the non-dominant hand is stronger in terms of grip than dominant side. I'm right handed but I cannot squeeze as hard and as fast as with my left hand. As I understand the explanation would be that the brain assigns more resources for dexterity type of activities in dominant hand.
Fitness for table tennis is much more than strength training but we can get a lot better by making what we have more efficient.

I have some questions to ask you about the grip.
Do you change grip when you do fh and bh.
I always hold the blade by using forehand grip for both backhand and forehand. For forehand it’s great but for backhand it’s difficult to do strong shot for chiquita. Though I try to use thumb for backhand but it’s confusing me when playing match.
Any suggestions or advices on this.
Thank you in advance.
Would you please do anything about serve disguising?
There’s a lot of RUclipsrs, speaking about pendulum or reverse pendulum or whatsoever. Kind of serve.
But there’s only a few and I searched in many languages, speaking about how to do a tricky serve
That will be really interesting to listen for like 10 minutes, or more from a very high ranked player like you, Andreas
How to disguise or pendulum or reverse pendulum , or Backhand , serve and so on

How do you consistently improve while only playing a couple hours a day?
Thanks for the vid. Would really love service receive in depth vid as well :)
Great content! it would be nice to get a bunch of tricky ball treatment moves to train ball + racket feeling.
Can you tell me if you do any other CV training like running to help table tennis? Great video 👍
