Thabk you Samson for this. I highly agree with what you have said and have been striving to fight a lot of the orthodoxy of other players and their beliefs about their game. It was nice to know that variety and level are as I suspected largely myths. When you train with players of a similar level which aspect of them is important to learn from? Is it drills or rallies or mainly 3rd ball drills. I often train with older guys and I find they make decent training partners because they can block and they give very awkward balls so my game is getting better and better at adjusting as well as my strokes.
TT at the top-pro levels have the players start playing at the earliest age possible. If that isn't a major factor in how almost all non-Asian players always start at later stages in life compared to most of the Asian players, it makes a difference. You cant write-off that fact. The amount of training and practice with a reliable coach from that young age Harimoto managed to beat world-class players ... his youngest TT training was probably in China before he relocated to Japan! ... again you cant write that off. Both China and Japan have some of the most talented TT players, coaches and TT ecosystem !
Video is about mindset, not facts. This is an important distinction. Facts have limited impact on your practice and performance. Mindset determines success far more. You can let 'facts' dictate your mindset and thus your performance, or learn from the ideas in this video
Yes but those guys are the absolute best of the best in the top countries globally. What Dubina is saying is that with the right system and beliefs so much more can be accomplished among those who don't feel they have the perfect environment/ start point
Amazing video, Samson. Just one question, if possibile. What do you mean when you refer as "trainable" (or not trainable) player?

Who's that person you're talking about around 6:50? There's nobody from Poland in top 20 ATM. Thanks.
I am curious too.

Очень , очень полезное видео. Особенно для тех кто застрял на одном уровне в течение нескольких лет)

@@adueni Very well said.
It's interesting that harimoto has one of the best backhands in the world. Technically it's amazing. It gives him an edge against most pro players.
