Mr Popovich you just clarify me a lot about the paddle balance in 5 minutes and everything makes a lot of sense. Thanks a lot for sharing your wisdom. Now I understand why I feel the forehand stroke a lot safer with the penhold grip (even though I am a shakehand player). I am using Stiga Cybershape CWT (custom weight) for around one year and I wasn't still sure how to play with it. With your advice, I will train with no counterweight added, and then I will add the 6 or 9 grams ballast to play games and see how it goes.
Mr. Cartos (sorry if that's not your name) thank you very much for your comment. I've seen many observations on the Internet that the forehand strokes is a lot safer with the penhold grip, but no one has ever explained WHY THIS IS SO. In my video - Fundamental Analysis... I explained how I understand why this is so. I am very pleased when someone sees that I am right in my reasoning. I wish you success in finding the best balance for any of your rackets. Have you thought about switching to RPB grip? Please let me know what you got.
Hi BAHRAMMEHRANDISH. Thanks for your comment. Where was I before this? Probably ripening. I really want to believe that I'm not overripe. Since you found me, please, don't get lost.

I don't understand ehy we have to change balance between training and competition play. Is it a risk of injury to muscle and hand ? I play in european shakehand grip.
Thanks for your comment. I said: do not do this before the competition until you check it in training games. When 3-10 grams of weight are added to the end of the handle with shakehand grip, the ball flies from us along a lower trajectory and flies off the table less often, which means it hits the table more often. And since the muscles quickly get used to these additional 3-10 grams, it is necessary to play without this additional weight in training, and then add this weight before the games. Even if your racket is very light, 3-10 grams at the end of the handle has absolutely no risk to muscle and hand.
I have described in my videos only very attacking strokes. Have you ever seen a high arc smash? High arc top spins are slow top spins. If you perform a fast top spin, the ball flies along a low trajectory. And in this case, it is not the height of the arc that is important, but the influence of inertia.
Wow. I have wondered why I played so much better with my Stiga allround classic after trimming the head down by around 3mm, the balance allows me to play faster and keep the ball on the table, even during aggressive shots, this with a non tensor rubber, once my confidence goes up, I hit harder, spin better and recover way faster and smoother, I also noticed that Technically faster blades did not give me faster shots as the balance was not working for me. Good to hear all this, now I can think about the angle control you have mentioned. 😂
Thanks for your comment. Yes, balance is more important when doing fast strokes. Also because we are often in a hurry (doing fast strokes) and less control what we are doing.
@@victorpopovich Ok, so rather than cutting down I will now try adding some grams to the handle to see if I get a similar control, will the bat head feel lighter and therefore allow me to swing and recover faster too ?
@@victorpopovich Hi. I am a shakehander, often stepping too far from the table too soon, so I have a strange set of requirements, from my blade. Close to the table I move fast to attack so prefer a lighter blade, but as I tend to serve and step back too early I also tend to loop hard so as not to lose too much pace from the distance. I also use a stiga allround classic, if I go to an offensive blade I tend to over hit, putting in more power than I can control and consistency drops, but when I drop from the table works well as the range is manageable with the power. A habit I am trying to work out.
Hi, Insert 5 - 7 grams of weight into the paper and secure it to the end of the handle with a rubber ring. And pay attention when performing tops at high speed - have you become better at consistency than before? If so, try 10 grams. Please let me know the result of your test.
@@victorpopovich I'm just curious haha. A lot of the older people in my life have a defeatist attitude :( and every new challenge they set out to face is tinged with their insecurity... It warms my heart immensely to see you being so full of life and thinking so deeply about table tennis!! You don't have to answer if you don't want to! 😁 I loved this video so much, thank you for making it! I am so glad I discovered your channel!!
Thanks again for the comment and explanation. One person I know thinks he was born to play table tennis. By analogy, I think I was born to suffer from a disease called - Table Tennis!!! I am very glad that you found something interesting and useful in my channel. I am 76.

Interesting I have the same racket and I will try the same :-)
Thank you for your comment.
Please, let me know about your success…
Interesting, I have never thought of it. Let me add this into my training
@satyakamsir3638 Thanks for the comment.
Are you shakehander or penholder?
@@victorpopovich I am a shakehander
@@satyakamsir3638 Then it's all very simple.
Please let me know how you liked the balance experiments.
Thanks for the experience senior 👍
Please, thank you for your comment.
Nice video. What do you think about nittaku balancer strip or Stiga balancer?
Thanks for your comment.
What is your grip?
SALUTE VIVTOR ,INSPIRING AND USEFUL TEACHINGS FOR ME, GO ON STRONG OLD MAN, WHERE WERE YOU BEEN TILL NOW ? I'VE JUST FIND YOU RIGHT NOW. 😍🙏😊
