Dear coach EmRatThich! As always, a wonderful work! For me, it is double helpful. I am a player cum coach. So, after watching your videos, I describe the content to my players in my native language. And, i am feeling satisfied that now, i am giving such thorough knowledge to them. The whole credit goes to you, Sir!
Hi coach! Thank you very much for your videos and teaching!!! I was wondering if you could share with us some exercises to improve the in and out footwork. I am struggling with it a lot.
Hi Coach.. I think some biomechanics needs to be introduced into this coaching as there are many simple unhidden physical body recoil shapes that are easy to see which way the player is going to hit the ball before he has even hit it !! I only recently started playing table tennis and at our club I have shown the senior coaches how to read body position and spot various signs as to ball direction. They have all been surprised how I'm predicting direction correctly 90% of the time when watching their best students play each other. I have noticed the majority of players are too focused on watching spin of the ball from the bat and the usual eye games of where I'm "not" going to go. However most are poor at hiding obvious body language through body shape, shoulder to hip angle, elbow levelling heights on shots and just generally unaware of repetitious manner habits they do for particular shots.
Thank you Coach! I learned from you today to always lead the jump forward and backward with the right foot, for both forehand and backhand. Very good information. Cheers!
Большое спасибо за вашу работу.После отработки темы footwork игра стала более агресивной и результативной я даже не ожидал таких результатов!Очень жаль ,что не все ваши уроки имеют русский перевод.Желаю вам удачи !
I'm seeing the coach moving her left foot first when going backwards? Isn't it always the foot furthest away from the direction of movement that moves first? (9:46 and 9:54)
I think you are right. He should be saying "the right leg pushes the ground" not "the right leg moves first". The left leg leaves the ground first when moving back
@@adamsam444 And the opposite when moving forward right? By the way thank you for, by commenting, reminding me of this. I had neglected focusing on forwards-backwards footwork for a while, maybe since two years ago when I commented here lol. There are so many aspects to this game that I often forget to circle back to some of them.
@@tomasgonzales Correct. The right leg leaves the ground first when moving forward. I am revisiting footwork myself, that's why I have been rewatching these videos. Have fun practicing!!
Thank you very much for the footwork training videos! But can you please do a couple videos for return of service for an intermediate player to reach advanced service return? At a certain level players begin to have less and less trouble returning serve. What do they know that I do not? (Reading opponents service path and contact point, return technique, where to contact ball for each spin and depth, returners racket angle and path, footwork , etc. and drills please.)
thanks a lot coach! Ur videos are really helpfull, I generally miss my forehand topspin or in crucial stages I face a difficulty of the ball contacting the edge of the bat and lose some crucial matches... and also subsequently lose confidence to further progress in my forehand topspin. it would be of great help if you could help me with that. and also I would like to hear from you about strength training needed for table tennis.
Sir, pls explain why Ma long steps back with back foot on pendulum serve and also is it the core that the most responsible for higher spin on the pendulum serve? Merci, vos videos sont les meilleures
Wait?? I have lots of question marks now. I push with my left foot when I want to go to right so I can get a faster movement. Is this right because you said that the right foot needs to move first. And when I want to go left I push with my right foot because then I feel it goes faster to move left. Am I correct, that you should push away yourself with the opposite foot you want to go to. Because that feels most natural and fastest. And could you take up mental play. I think that's the hardest thing for everybody in table tennis. Atleast for me. Thank you very much your the best coach I ever seen online. The others don't coach with love, they coach with money. You coach good with love! 😉🏓
You are doing it correctly. By pushing with the left foot, you move your right foot to the right. Moving is not necessarily the foot that you push with.
as a left hand player, what if I'll receive a short serve on my backhand and will do a push. what foot is best to plant to return fast to ready position? that is not included in this video. but thanks for the helpful tips coach!
I dnt know why he said No, maybe he didnt prefer to but if you watch most of tomahawk by dimi or Ding who uses max in int level , when they serve the forehand they are ready for forehand potion block if opponent attack it .. while for backhand tomahawk is much more hard to return , you get a good loose ball to your middle of table to end it with forehand pivot
Maybe you anticipate the ball too much. Try for the first times to count to 2 after the coming ball passed the net and then hit it. It really helps! After a White, if your footwork is precise you won't miss it anymore.
Shouldn't there be some notes about "right" and "left" foot for left handed players. They possibly have to reverse all rules for themselves. Or do they?
EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach thanks for your awesome vids.. I really have the habit of standing too close to the table and i am trying to change that with the help of your vids
Similar to service receive in Tennis, you start really low and rise up and readjust just as they serve, just as they hit the ball. I'm not really sure why haha, it's one of those things that you just sort of start automatically doing.
The idea of this is to be as light on the feets as possible when you need to choose your trajectory. In tennis, you stand low, you get up when they throw the ball, and you relax and let the body fall when they hit the ball (or "mini jump when they serve" as my coach told me when I was young). By doing so, in the last step when you let your body fall down your weight is not pinning your feets in the ground anymore, and your waist is free because it doesn't have to hold your weight during the fall. This means you can start changing direction without having to push into the ground (which takes energy and is slow) as soon as your intuition read where you should be going (aka where the ball is going). You don't want to be too high hough, otherwise it will take too much time for your bodyweight to get back to the ground and you will start moving later. Therefore it's not really a jump, it's just getting slightly up and then relaxing the body to let it fall just a little bit, just enough to free the legs. If you find yourself tensing up on your legs to change directions, you're doing it wrong. You should only tense up when you are pushing on the feet. tl;dr This is a way to have lighter feets for faster positionning.

I promise this is the best coaching for table tennis footwork ever.
Oh, this arm length distance from the table is a very interesting tip! Thanks again!

Another great video! 👏🏻
This sound for the 5 seconds haha i laughed :D

very good video. i find myself standing very close to the table after serving and this is causing me to lose many poins. keep up the good work coach!
Good info as always and good reminder to stand away from the table.
Great content Sensei, 2 key takeaways:
- Stand arm length away from the table.
- Distribute body weight to the toes, NOT heels.
good video
Will you upload why zjk uses 39 degree sponge and ma long uses 41 degree as you previously stated.
thanks a lot coach!

I move my right foot back first when moving backwards but push the ground with my left foot, is this ok?
This is the hardest one by far

When do the further parts of Footwork come ? Eagerly awaiting those

HI, can you add french subtitles?
oui, bien sur. :)
how to synchronise hand with our body?? like for example my hand moves first then body....please help
body first
body first. you should always be balanced, and hit the ball with the same mechanism.
EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach thank you!
are there any physical exercises to improve footwork?
hey emratthich; how do the chinese think about tomahawk services ? Should I use it ?
It's good enough for world number 1 (Ding Ning) it's good enough for you.
No. You can't do a short tomahawk serve! And your opponent will attack it easily. Ding Ning used it for her specific reason.
which specific reason? I wondered
I dnt know why he said No, maybe he didnt prefer to but if you watch most of tomahawk by dimi or Ding who uses max in int level , when they serve the forehand they are ready for forehand potion block if opponent attack it .. while for backhand tomahawk is much more hard to return , you get a good loose ball to your middle of table to end it with forehand pivot

HELLO Coach EmRatThich,is it true that a player should make small jumps after playing a stroke untill the next shot?If yes,than why is it so?
What do I do wrong?! I keep missing the ball when I try to forehand topspin, any tips, thanks!
watch the ball hit the paddle
Maybe you anticipate the ball too much. Try for the first times to count to 2 after the coming ball passed the net and then hit it. It really helps! After a White, if your footwork is precise you won't miss it anymore.
I think you hit where the ball is not, and this explains why you miss the ball.
Shouldn't there be some notes about "right" and "left" foot for left handed players. They possibly have to reverse all rules for themselves. Or do they?
yes, for the lefty, move your left foot first.
a tip for the pronunciation : for the word "knee" do not say the "k". You must read it " nee".
thank you! I really appreciate your correction.
Where do you live
Coach EmRatThich the word height is pronounced hait not heit.. Don't take this as a rude thing i want to help you with your English
Thank you! I need someone corrects my English like you. Bests!
EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach thanks for your awesome vids.. I really have the habit of standing too close to the table and i am trying to change that with the help of your vids
finally, thank you!!!!!!!!
Maybe a face reveal? ;-)

and here iam, cannot add more spin in stroke.... any suggestions?
Length of the arm = 40cm?...
Boii, idk how short your arm is but you should def get that checked out :)))
Кто русский?
do a face reveal
