    Hey Timo,
    It would be interesting if you can make a Talk Video about the (current) top ten Players in the world (according to the Ranking list). Talking about their specialites, play styles, special moments, your experiences in with them in games or off the table. You can also talk about already retired player like Ma Lin.
    It's cool to hear Pros talking about other pros. Especially in Table tennis.
    Best luck for Houston :)

    Hey Timo,
    can you please elaborate about tightness of the grip? Every tutorial on youtube ephasize on holding the bat as loose as possible…

    • @timoboll8381
      @timoboll8381  2 года назад +4

      Not a big fan of a loose grip, especially when doing the movement

    • @MultiSync3V
      @MultiSync3V 2 года назад +1

      Yes, this is what I was thinking, too.
      I wonder if this might be one of those cases where what an amateur should pay attention to is very different to how a world class player thinks about the game. I have definitely always thought that the longer I can keep my grip loose during the point, the better this is for me.

    • @adg16610
      @adg16610 2 года назад

      Instead of using a loose grip, tighten the grip, but relax between strokes. It can help improve playing with feeling.

    There's an advantage to be had playing penhold. There is a clear choice of what stroke to use: the normal forehand sideof your paddle. There is no crossover point in the middle, but my backhand is weird with penhold, the rest is good though...🤨

  • @ekarter1981

    I always thought that we lefties tend to play more backhand shots when balls go into the center of the body. Will try to focus more on forehand shots.

      @@timoboll8381 I 100% agree, Timo! I try to follow all your tips. But I love to play backhand shots🙂 especially with sudden direction change (like Pitch or FZD, only million levels below😂)
      And yes, backhand is an easy option because you don't have to do micro steps. But forehand is more effective.
