Thanks for your tips! :D I think the biggest problem for most of us is that we would love to learn chinese technique but every time we go to our local club and practice, our coach teaches us his technique, and coaches, most of the time, will tell you that you are doing weird movements.. So it´s hard to practice all of your tips some times... Thanks again and have a merry christmas! :D
Wow! You are too good in explaining the Chinese techniques, I thank U for all the time and efforts you put in to help us improve our game in Table Tennis.
Thanks for explaining Chinese Techniques. After following the technique in the video, i can say for sure my recovery time is better. Earlier I was always worried about spin in opponent topspin and what angle I should return the ball. But now mostly with same angle i can able to play most of the shots. Highly Appreciate.
Great video! I would like to offer a quick English tip: I have noticed in several of these videos that you pronounce the word low incorrectly. Even though it looks like it should rhyme with cow or plough, it actually rhymes with go and throw. I don't know why. English has a long history of changing based on historical events, so now has many "exceptions to the rules". Thank you for making these great videos! Now it is time for me to practice your tips :)
If you saw a few of these videos and you have had enough coaching before you 'd know the real value of these lessons. However, if you are a veteran player 35+ and played using your own adapted way correcting chops would be a very slow and painful, somtimes very expensive way to improve. Lets not forget TT is an athletic discipline!! The coach here does't know who you are! His info is wide for everybody(any level) to grab. I think it is wise to take what you can use in a game, unless you just like to practice and look pretty:) hey nothing wrong with that(looping away from the table 5-6-10 times is very impresive!!!) But if you 'd like to improve your game check out coaches tacktical and timing videos. Most importantly don't hurt yourseves! Warm up before each practice:)) and don't argue here and criticize unless you are a high level player which you are not!!!! You wouldn't be here right??:)
And in the examples of Ma Long, he is clearly folding his elbow on the follow through. So, perhaps, as I mentioned before, a further explanation of what the role of the elbow does during the swing would be great!
more movement= more power to generate spin/speed and almost always means losing accuracy and consistency. Just like underhand free throw in basketball is likely to be the most accurate ft because it uses less muscles coordination.
Sie sie Coach .. I'm use Yasaka Mark V AD 2.2 mm for both side with yu guan frame since you explain the power from the ground and this video my loop better now .
Good Video, very well explained and i'm get a good idea to increase power and speed, but you show in your videos very old european technics. I'm teaching the kids use body and that's what in germany have to teach. However, there are scientific studies in europe , that the forarm, ellbow and wrist made 75% of the speed (they measured it). But i tried your way with a fixed ellbow and power and spin from the hip and i am totally convinced with your method. Feel better and more stable for me. Thanks for that and hope you show more from chinese technics.
Hello EmRatThich I truly appreciate your videos and all the advices and tips you are giving. We needed someone like this on RUclips. I would like to know how to loop kill the ball with European rubbers. As you said in the tensor video, you can't really loopkill with tenergy( i'm using both side) because the ball will go out due to a lack of spin that normally help to keep the ball on the table. In fact with tenergy when you hit powerfully there is less spin as you showed it with graphics in previous video. So considering that Chinese rubber in France aren't good quality and I keep playing with tenergy, Does the technique is the same to loop kill the ball with tenergy and with Chinese rubbers ??? And if not can you explain that technique? Thank you for your answer.
yes sure and I worked 5 months remotely to the Olympic Games as IT bilingual support... I have talked with peoples from all world by phone, amazing experience.
Hello. Congratulations for your video. I understand the differents loop much better. I would like to ask you how you do if the ball is coming high? thanks for your attention and help Juan
When you say -- Look at the player xyz it is sometimes helpful to point who which one of the players is the said player though usually it is the one closer to the camera but is not always the case.
I am senior and play at city club : most just want to have good times but no practice . Some will give advices , long talking ....., but the best is imitation : no talk / Practice ! I always try to remember and practice EmRat tips even the points are counting ...who cares for the points if there is no progress ...mentally i dont care for the points . Is that right Coach ?
Another very good video, Coach. Question for you on my set up, and its application for using the Chinese hitting system you recommend. I have a Butterfly Viscaria blade, with Donic Barracuda rubber on both sides. I play a bit of an all round game, with an emphasis on attack, but I have no problem with a push or chop if needed Does this set up sound right to you? I will work on the weight shift you recommend as this is natural for me due to my experience in other sports. The advice to wait for the ball to get lower before hitting is good advice as I tend to rush. Can I ask you at the point of the video 15:43 is the coach instructing Xu Xin to use his wrist to hit the ball? That is a question I have, do you use the wrist when hitting your forehand or backhand (I can see this being more natural on the backhand, but have wondered on the forehand). Thank you!
Zazen forever, i can assure u, u don't move your wrist when hitting the ball, but you rather make your wrist locked in a position (don't hold it tight, but loosely without losing the grip of the bat) to straighten the bat.
Great Video thank You :) Can You make a Video About Some exercises on multi Ball or something (especially for footwork and of course improving technice )? Happy Christmas 🎄
Thank you for your amazing videos, they're full of knowledge and coolness xD I Wish you a very very good Christmas with your family (stolen haha) ! Thank You -Gabriel
Hi! I'm a beginner player. I used a very bad blade and rubbers, for 6 years. Lately I've been using Butterfly Allround with Flextra rubbers. It seems fine but i like looping game, I'm also in good shape so i can generate speed by hitting hard, however on the BH this is more difficult. After watching you'r videos, I'm thinking to change to Huricane 3 on the Fore Hand and Huricane 3 NEO on on the Back Hand, with Stiga Allround Classic. Do you think this setup is ok? Or do you have a better suggestion? Thanks! :)
Good day EmRatThich! I watched all your table tennis video and I improved significantly within just weeks of training. However, I just want to improve more my looping. How can I loop kill a very low top spin and under spin ball? Can I loop kill a slow off the table ball with no spin? Can I do that with this set up? Blade: Yinhe T10+ Balsa Carbon FH: H3neo BH: TG2neo Which should I use between the two for looping?
2 questions about the video of coach Liu: What is he showing the other player about opening his racquet? Is he showing him not to do that on his loop, or is he correcting his mistake? Also, I was told to loop the underspin ball at the top of the bounce. You are saying it's better to let it drop? Is that what Liu is doing in this video? Thanks for all your videos!
Hi i was about to post my observation in this regard when i saw your post. LGL first takes a wide step to his left side and then plays an inside out topspin to Xu Xin fh. As the 3 rd ball is with underspin, he pivots to generate power from the hips and then uses the open blade to counter the underspin in the ball for completing the topspin. When LGL attacks Xu Xin bh, his racket angle is closed.Hope this helps.
+Gaurav Sharma when LG loops into his bh, his blade ends up closed, but I'm thinking he starts off with it open. I tried some shots like that at our club tonight and was able to loop some low fast . shots that felt awesome, if I did it right. it felt like grabbing the ball underneath and then throwing it forward while closing the blade over the ball. when lg is moving xi wrist and blade, it looks like he's showing him the same open and close wrap around thing.
That what I learned too; it works nicely with very low, pretty heavy underspin. The rubbers don't need to be very tacky. For I tried with H3 Neo and Friendship Aurora. Friendship Aurora is slightly tacky, and I needed to open more.
Hello Sir, I have been watching your videos for few days and its really amazing, it gives me confidence on my game by watching your videos.. I just need your help to suggest me a good equipment for my game 1) I'm good at forehand topspin but since I'm using basic GKI KUNGFU rubber I feel difficult all the time.. My seniors suggest me to use TENERGY RUBBER 2) I used to chop well in backhand, and sometimes I play a descent looping too.. So can I use TIMOBALL ALC-FL BLADE TENERGY FOR FOREHAND can you suggest anything for backhand which gives 60% defense & 40% spin Sir. Please
U are a much more better coach than mine in school... I improve with ur tips, not his... And another good national player from Philippines i think?? Hes here but he is always training the seniors not us... Ugh Can someone recommended me a good offensive rubber for penhold?
Hey Emrattich! I'm an offensive player who likes to execute a powerful topspin on backspin receive on the third ball, but I often bend my back backwards because it feels as if the ball is really heavy and the ball kind of pushes me away from my position. Therefore, my third ball forehand topspin attacks are extremely slow but extremely spinny, that's something I don't prefer to happen while it's easy for the opponent to counter attack it back without any exertion. How can I make my topspin go faster with ballanced spin? Thank you if you read this and if you can comment
hello coach my age is 18 and i have recently start playing table tennis many people are telling me it s pointless because i started at an old age . what do you think ? can you give me advice on how to improve fast ? thank you
Howdy coach. I am an amateur penholder and currently practicing my RPB. What is the best rubber to my playstyle and blade? I want to be an all around player with stable attack power, FH and BH, as well increase my blocking. Is this possible? So what is the best set up for me as I am aiming to be the best amatuer player. Thank you.
Next time please put the tutorial at the start rather than making us wait 8 minutes as the tutorial is what we are coming for. Put the questions and answers in a whole new video or at the end. Thanks
when I tried looping the Chinese style with evolution rubber, the shots looked lower, flatter, and faster, but my opponent said there wasn't much spin. if I use a harder sponge Chinese rubber, does that add more spin and arc on the ball?
Hi EmRatThich, can you please make a video about how to hold your racket properly? I have a very forehand oriented grip. In fact, I grap the racket like I would shake a hand and then I rotate it (close the racket) for a good ~15 degrees I would guess. By that I have to always change the grip when switching from forehand to backhand but when I use a neutral grip, it feels like my racket is too wide open for a forehand loop and I am more pushing the ball. Maybe it is my technique and I am hitting the ball too high? I am tall (6feet 23) compared to chinese players, maybe this is the problem. Do you have any tips? And can you make a video how chinese players hold their rackets and whether they change grip or not? Whish you a merry xmas and keep the good job going!
Hye emrathich,i use tibhar tacky power for my FH and i use 729 friendship sky wing for my backhand and my blade si 729 friendship super carbon. I cant spin my ball because the ball fly off my rubber too fast and i cant control the ball. By any chance, can you recommend me a good rubber for my fast blade? Thank you.
Hi coach, what I noticed when watching ma long or fan zhendong playing top spin, their feet are parralel or even the right food is slightly in front of the other foot. European players tend to have their fright foot (if right handed player) way behind the left foot when playing forehand topspin. Can you give reasons for that or am I wrong with my observation? Greetings from Germany
My coach told me that most top players now don't put their right foot behind because balls are too fast and there is no time for it . So just turn your waist is enough. Of course if the game is slower, then you should put your right foot behind as long as you have the time to do it. My coach used to be a player in my country's national team so I trust his opinion
Is the coach saying to brush "Open to Closed" or "Closed to Open"? I'm thinking he is telling Xu Xin to brush "Open to Closed". Meaning to slightly roll the paddle forward over the top of the ball when brushing, instead of brushing only steeply upwards.
You are using the word 'low' a lot, which is great because as you highlighted the lower body and legs is not emphasised enough at least in europe. However you mentioned in a previous video to correct your pronounciation where appropriate. Low is pronounced with an 'Oh' and not an 'ow' sound (although it is not spelt this way). I appreciate you taking time to interact with your commenters. Also keep with the technique videos as without the correct technique you will never be able to get the most our of any equipment! ps: I know you teach and favour chinese forehand but most players (at least in europe) still use german or japanese tension rubbers, I imagine the technique would differ. Can you cover this please.
If you could clarify, please. To me, in the example starting at 12:51 the coach appears to be still rotating around his elbow on the follow through. Yes, he is making a weight transfer as he starts his swing, but he points at the inside of his elbow, and folds it on the way through. I guess I need clarification on what "rotating around the elbow " means. Also, does the coach start out his swing with a fairly open face angle (paddle is almost vertical at the start and at impact), and then he appears to close the angle as he follows through (by rotating his forearm). Is this accurate? Thanks.
hello just wanted to ask, when looping the ball you should contact the ball at your side. But what about counter topspin ? When i see zhang jike, he contacts the ball a bit infront of his body. So should i when playing counter topspin contact the ball on my side too?
Ma Long relax arm when loop. Use body and legs for acceleration. Very difficult technique. It is for professional player. If you understand the technique, then you can learn.You can not lose a single detail. Pay attention to the shoulder and wrist. This forehand technique allows you to very quickly perform a powerful top spin.
Hello Emratthich . I'm a loop kill player with chinese rubber. My current set up is Dr Neubauer World Champion with Yinhe Big Dipper on FH. It's so fast to me . The ball coming out from the table . Can you recomend best choice chinese tacky rubber for my forehand ? Thx and sorry for bad English
hi coach! Can you suggest a setup for me. I live in pakistan and dont get genuine rubbers (according to me). I like to attack on the forehand when possible and chop during most of the rally but against topspin i use blocks more. and against a flawed chop i tend to attack. I am currently using yinhe n5 with sanwei taregt FH and rakza 7 soft BH Looking forward to your reply as i am in dire need of changing my setup.
Can you help me have my first custom racket 'cause I just started few years ago. I am an offensive player and I need advices. here's what I am thinking of the parts blade - friendship 729 8030 forehand rubber - dhs neo h3 backhand rubber - friendship 729 focus 3 snipe can you give me suggestions?
Hi! , i started playing for about a year ago and lately ive gotten into a tournament but, im vert nervous that i cant play like usual. do you have any tips for this kind of problem? thanks.
hi EmRatThich, i admire your videos very much. I want your suggestion on my alternate blade. I use DHS Hurricane H-WL with DHS hurricane 3 neo in forehand and 729 Battle 2 in backhand. this combination works just well for me. now i want a spare blade but H-WL is not available. Can you suggest me which blade matches with the characteristics of H-WL most? I am thinking of DHS PG13, Yinhe T-11+, PG7,PG9, GT9, YINHE T-10 etc. But dont know which is more similar to H-WL with speed, weight, hardness and feeling....Can you please help me in sort this out...??
wow man i remember watching ur early vids now you got a big channel wish for more and maybe try your own self(im talking about you) playing table tennis that way you can explain better. i think its time for some serve return isnt it.thank u very much man u help me out im 16 and im at a good level hoping too become a national player but school gets in the way.if u reply i have some questions abou hurricane 3 neo orange or blue sponge?
I started playing again after a gap and noticed that my FH topspin and FH loop, both are going out of the table. While trying to analyze my strokes, I feel either there is more speed/force generated which is putting the ball off the table or cud be something which I may not be aware. If u cud give any guidance/tips, wud be helpful. Also my FH is quiet strong, any suggestions for good racket paddle and rubbers for FH & BH. Wud like to have good spin & control. Thanks.
hi coach emt you are doing a good job in your videos I am an offensive attacking player but somehow I cannot smash on backhand chops which is my weakness also I have a premade bat of mark v and I am thinking of upgrading to a custom bat I also think that I need more spin on my serves I was thinking of tenergy 80 on backhand but what forehand rubber and wood should I use I also have a short height thanks please reply it will really help me
I'm confused. Your videos mention we should be using harder tackier rubber even for the backhand but I see in your video comments 7:45 that you have suggested Rakza 7 (which is soft rubber) for someone. Can you please clarify?
Hello i have some questions for you i will explain everything. When i started to play i was about 8 years old . My first racket was some Andro blade with some Andro rubbers. When i was 12 i started to train 2 - 3 times daily. I had blade Timo Boll Off- and it was perfect for me with Tenergy 05. After a year i started play higher leagues and the blade was too slow for me and i wanted faster blade , but this blade had everything what i needed most beautiful was the spin with Tenergy 05 it has big spin and it was beautiful on backhand shots and in controll. So after a good year i was finding similar but faster blade so i bought Timo Boll W5 with T05 and it was horrible no spin just big vibrations and speed on forehand but uncontrollable on backhand. I was dissatisfied so i changed this blade for Timo Boll ALC with T05 it didn't have vibrations but it wasn't had the spin which i want. It had smaller spin . Forehand was ok but the same uncontollable backhand. Now im playing with it and i don't know which blade i have to use with T05 which can be simillar to Timo Boll Off- but faster and better feeling. Can u give me some your opinions? My style is dominating attacking player close to the table both sides but FH is my stronger side.
Hi Ender. You are right that Timo Boll W5 has the different feeling with your Boll OFF-. I've encountered exactly the same problem when improving the higher league: if you play OFF+ blade, you loose the feeling and make many unforced error. I propose you to use the blade that you like the best, and then increase the hardness of the rubber. Nowadays, Tenergy 05 is not fast, and hard enough for the new poly ball. So pro player requests their personal version of tenergy 05 (harder). You can simply find another alternatif (about 49-50 ESN hardness scale is good). Changing the rubber hardness is much easier than changing the blade. As I mentioned in my video, the blade decides 80% of your playing style. Bests,
Thank you , do you think that i have to back to Timo Boll Off- blade? Because i grew up and i have other feeling and i remember that i couldn't feel with that blade backhand flick and all short game. My friends in club said me that with this blade i don't have future.I was on meeting with the best player in my state and he said that i have to play with blade that is best for me with Tenergys without boost until i don't feel that i want to use it. For info im master in my state in my category but anyway i have problems with equipment. My friend bought DHS Hurricane 3 neo (blue sponge) and it was not bad but i don't know what i have to use. I have similar style to china players like i said im dominating atacking player. I didn't tried much blades but i know that Arylate-carbon is not for me and Zylon too. I like only wood blades. I tried some carbon without inserts and i felt the ball on it. Im accustomed on Tenergy rubbers and i cant play with normal tensor rubbers this is problem. I was one year boosting rubbers but with some of poor quality booster it was uncontrollable so i stopped. Is dianchi , haifu boosters quality boosters? Have i to use it? Thanks for answer
hi emrat table tennis coach my name is danny i am 13 years old and i play in division 6 of my local league i am using butterfly bryse both FH and BF i like it on my BH but i dontl like it on my FH any good FH rubber suggests
thx for the video and keep it up you are helping me or us a lot :) And I've got a question. I have the tendency to hit the ball really late and let it drop to low. That results that i loose power and consistency in my loops. Besides my error rate is much higher. However because of this i adjust my bodyposition so my body moves down so i can still hit it. The loop gets really spinny when i do this but i know that my technique suffers under this circumstance.
Hi. I cannot looping and topspin when the player chopping. I am using Xiom vega tour blade with both side tenergy 05 2.1. Should i change my equipment? I didn't go to training it means i have no teacher. But i really love playing table tennis. Now i'm 26 years old so maybe it's too late to go table tennis training but i need to know how to play. Anyway thank you so much for the videos i learnt many things from you.
I am not a coach but don't have much problem playing with chopper with loop. There are a few things I think can help. First, you can practice using hip to transfer weight from forehand side to backhand side. Second, footwork should put your body at the right position and allow your full arm to swing. Third, lower your racquet and relax the wrist. As the ball comes and bounces off your court, you can feel how much bottom spin on the ball, depending on amount of spin you can hold the racquet slightly open, use your index finger (if you use handshake) to micro adjust your racquet assuming you hold your racquet straight as an extension to your forearm (some people hold theirs perpendicular to the forearm, the index finger can't help much in this case). If the ball has more bottom spin, swing your arm more upward motion than forward motion. Contact the ball when it starts to fall will yield best accuracy, but if you let the ball drop a little, it will lose some spin. I prefer to let it drop a little so I can predict the amount of spin better. Combine all the actions from legs, hip, shoulder, elbow and the wrist can make a very strong swing of your racquet creating top spin to the ball. I think your equipment should be fine, it's the technique that really matters. I use Hurricane Neo III rubber on Palio energy 3, more tacky rubber than yours and less speed than your blade, I really enjoy looping. Take a look at some matches between DingNing vs Wu Yang or Ma Long vs Joo Se Hyuk.
Thank you so much! I wish you a a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year! I ashtrays enjoy your table tennis videos. I look forward to watching your video on backhand loops. Also, could you please teach us the technique on how to loop softly by brushing the ball and how to loop underspin? Thank you so much!
In your other videos, you mentioned the difference between a chinese sticky rubbers and european rubbers. Now, since there i difference between the chinese forehand loop and european forehand loop, does that mean that to learn chinese technique,one should use chinese rubbers and not european rubbers?Very few videos talk about what rubber to use when doing a chinese stroke. I think they should mention it.
Hey EmRatThich! :) I know that the style is not very common among pro players but would you consider giving tips for traditional chinese penholders/ japanese penholders like Ryu Seung Min or Kaii Yoshida? :)
What do you mean when you say Ma Long "does not rotate his elbow anymore" . What does this mean. He is also folding his elbow and snapping his forearm. Yes, he is using his body, but the arm and elbow are involved. Can you explain this further or post a video on this? It is confusing. Thanks.
Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean that Ma Long doesn't rotate his elbow anymore. I want to correct it as "Ma Long uses his hip to mainly rotate and generate the force for his loop. He still uses his elbow to transfer and add power to his forehand topspin". Thank you for your comment.
I can't believe how good and educational coach's videos are.
And they're even free!
Thanks for your tips! :D I think the biggest problem for most of us is that we would love to learn chinese technique but every time we go to our local club and practice, our coach teaches us his technique, and coaches, most of the time, will tell you that you are doing weird movements..

Earlier I was always worried about spin in opponent topspin and what angle I should return the ball. But now mostly with same angle i can able to play most of the shots. Highly Appreciate.
Great video!
I would like to offer a quick English tip: I have noticed in several of these videos that you pronounce the word low incorrectly. Even though it looks like it should rhyme with cow or plough, it actually rhymes with go and throw. I don't know why. English has a long history of changing based on historical events, so now has many "exceptions to the rules".
Thank you for making these great videos! Now it is time for me to practice your tips :)
Can't wait to try it out. This is the best coaching I have seen. Thnx a lot for sharing your coaching
I really love your channel it's so didactic and entertainment as well. Keep going! Merry Christmas!
If you saw a few of these videos and you have had enough coaching before you 'd know the real value of these lessons. However, if you are a veteran player 35+ and played using your own adapted way correcting chops would be a very slow and painful, somtimes very expensive way to improve. Lets not forget TT is an athletic discipline!! The coach here does't know who you are! His info is wide for everybody(any level) to grab. I think it is wise to take what you can use in a game, unless you just like to practice and look pretty:) hey nothing wrong with that(looping away from the table 5-6-10 times is very impresive!!!)

Merry Christmas for you to EmRatThich! ^^
Excellent video, explain me a loot about my mistakes when i'm looping the ball.. Thank you! ^^
Great video and tips, thank you!
Super GREAT and cool video ;-)!
Dear coach Emratthick, please make some video guides for penholders, especially for backhand technique. thanks
good work on your videos.. keep up the great work !
Thanks a lot coach!!! 🙂

Amazing. Thanks
Thank you too!
Is there a difference in the loop technique when using Chinese rubbers instead of European rubbers?
Cool video, is rly liked it! I also think i learned a lot and will try that out next training :3 keep going
I am senior and play at city club : most just want to have good times but no practice . Some will give advices , long talking ....., but the best is imitation : no talk / Practice ! I always try to remember and practice EmRat tips even the points are counting ...who cares for the points if there is no progress ...mentally i dont care for the points . Is that right Coach ?
these videos are so good ! sub
Thanks coach
Thanks Coach :)
Awesome video like the others.I want to use hurricane 8 on my forehand what is the best blade that suits it.Have a great Christmas
Another very good video, Coach. Question for you on my set up, and its application for using the Chinese hitting system you recommend. I have a Butterfly Viscaria blade, with Donic Barracuda rubber on both sides. I play a bit of an all round game, with an emphasis on attack, but I have no problem with a push or chop if needed Does this set up sound right to you?
I will work on the weight shift you recommend as this is natural for me due to my experience in other sports. The advice to wait for the ball to get lower before hitting is good advice as I tend to rush.
Can I ask you at the point of the video 15:43 is the coach instructing Xu Xin to use his wrist to hit the ball? That is a question I have, do you use the wrist when hitting your forehand or backhand (I can see this being more natural on the backhand, but have wondered on the forehand). Thank you!
Zazen forever, i can assure u, u don't move your wrist when hitting the ball, but you rather make your wrist locked in a position (don't hold it tight, but loosely without losing the grip of the bat) to straighten the bat.
Great Video thank You :)
Can You make a Video About Some exercises on multi Ball or something (especially for footwork and of course improving technice )?
Happy Christmas 🎄
Thank you for your amazing videos, they're full of knowledge and coolness xD
I Wish you a very very good Christmas with your family (stolen haha) !
Thank You

Hello em rat thick!
I really enjoyed this video and it would be great if you could make a video about the backhand topspin !
Thanks :)
oh ty :)
You improve on making videos good job , i was waiting all week to see the new video , i hope that you have a good holiday
What do you guys think of this setup:
Blade=victas zx gear in
FH=Hurricane neo 3
BH=Tenergy05 hard
I'm trying to go for a hard rubber on soft blade
Hi! I'm a beginner player. I used a very bad blade and rubbers, for 6 years. Lately I've been using Butterfly Allround with Flextra rubbers. It seems fine but i like looping game, I'm also in good shape so i can generate speed by hitting hard, however on the BH this is more difficult. After watching you'r videos, I'm thinking to change to Huricane 3 on the Fore Hand and Huricane 3 NEO on on the Back Hand, with Stiga Allround Classic. Do you think this setup is ok? Or do you have a better suggestion? Thanks! :)
@Zubeen Bhuiyan Thank you, i will. :)
Good day EmRatThich!
I watched all your table tennis video and I improved significantly within just weeks of training. However, I just want to improve more my looping.
How can I loop kill a very low top spin and under spin ball?
Can I loop kill a slow off the table ball with no spin?
Can I do that with this set up?
Blade: Yinhe T10+ Balsa Carbon
FH: H3neo
BH: TG2neo
Which should I use between the two for looping?
2 questions about the video of coach Liu: What is he showing the other player about opening his racquet? Is he showing him not to do that on his loop, or is he correcting his mistake? Also, I was told to loop the underspin ball at the top of the bounce. You are saying it's better to let it drop? Is that what Liu is doing in this video? Thanks for all your videos!
Hi i was about to post my observation in this regard when i saw your post. LGL first takes a wide step to his left side and then plays an inside out topspin to Xu Xin fh. As the 3 rd ball is with underspin, he pivots to generate power from the hips and then uses the open blade to counter the underspin in the ball for completing the topspin. When LGL attacks Xu Xin bh, his racket angle is closed.Hope this helps.
+Gaurav Sharma when LG loops into his bh, his blade ends up closed, but I'm thinking he starts off with it open. I tried some shots like that at our club tonight and was able to loop some low fast . shots that felt awesome, if I did it right. it felt like grabbing the ball underneath and then throwing it forward while closing the blade over the ball. when lg is moving xi wrist and blade, it looks like he's showing him the same open and close wrap around thing.
Yes you are absolutely right. It is like a fast flip which is loaded with topspin( due to the tacky rubber which has been boosted for CNT)
That what I learned too; it works nicely with very low, pretty heavy underspin. The rubbers don't need to be very tacky. For I tried with H3 Neo and Friendship Aurora. Friendship Aurora is slightly tacky, and I needed to open more.
Hello Sir,
I have been watching your videos for few days and its really amazing, it gives me confidence on my game by watching your videos.. I just need your help to suggest me a good equipment for my game
1) I'm good at forehand topspin but since I'm using basic GKI KUNGFU rubber I feel difficult all the time.. My seniors suggest me to use TENERGY RUBBER
2) I used to chop well in backhand, and sometimes I play a descent looping too..
So can I use
TIMOBALL ALC-FL BLADE
TENERGY FOR FOREHAND
can you suggest anything for backhand which gives 60% defense & 40% spin Sir. Please
U can try sonex jp
U are a much more better coach than mine in school... I improve with ur tips, not his... And another good national player from Philippines i think?? Hes here but he is always training the seniors not us... Ugh
Can someone recommended me a good offensive rubber for penhold?
Hey Emrattich!
I'm an offensive player who likes to execute a powerful topspin on backspin receive on the third ball, but I often bend my back backwards because it feels as if the ball is really heavy and the ball kind of pushes me away from my position. Therefore, my third ball forehand topspin attacks are extremely slow but extremely spinny, that's something I don't prefer to happen while it's easy for the opponent to counter attack it back without any exertion. How can I make my topspin go faster with ballanced spin? Thank you if you read this and if you can comment
hello coach my age is 18 and i have recently start playing table tennis many people are telling me it s pointless because i started at an old age . what do you think ? can you give me advice on how to improve fast ? thank you
+Moodz you can improve very fast with the right training. I remember there are a hungarian champion who began playing at the age of 30s.
Nice video
Howdy coach. I am an amateur penholder and currently practicing my RPB. What is the best rubber to my playstyle and blade? I want to be an all around player with stable attack power, FH and BH, as well increase my blocking. Is this possible? So what is the best set up for me as I am aiming to be the best amatuer player. Thank you.
in this video you said we must stroke when the ball lower but previous video you said we must stroke when the ball at top. So which one is true
Do you think harimoto zlc would decent for looping?
Next time please put the tutorial at the start rather than making us wait 8 minutes as the tutorial is what we are coming for. Put the questions and answers in a whole new video or at the end. Thanks

just like this can you make a video on the forehand loop too
when I tried looping the Chinese style with evolution rubber, the shots looked lower, flatter, and faster, but my opponent said there wasn't much spin. if I use a harder sponge Chinese rubber, does that add more spin and arc on the ball?
+Jim Wendt it takes time to loop powerful with spin. And you shoul use chinese rubber with this technique.
Hi EmRatThich, can you please make a video about how to hold your racket properly? I have a very forehand oriented grip. In fact, I grap the racket like I would shake a hand and then I rotate it (close the racket) for a good ~15 degrees I would guess. By that I have to always change the grip when switching from forehand to backhand but when I use a neutral grip, it feels like my racket is too wide open for a forehand loop and I am more pushing the ball. Maybe it is my technique and I am hitting the ball too high? I am tall (6feet 23) compared to chinese players, maybe this is the problem. Do you have any tips? And can you make a video how chinese players hold their rackets and whether they change grip or not? Whish you a merry xmas and keep the good job going!
Hye emrathich,i use tibhar tacky power for my FH and i use 729 friendship sky wing for my backhand and my blade si 729 friendship super carbon. I cant spin my ball because the ball fly off my rubber too fast and i cant control the ball. By any chance, can you recommend me a good rubber for my fast blade? Thank you.
Great help. Thank you. I'd like to know how tight should I hold the racket and what fingers should I press the racket the most. :-)

Hi coach, what I noticed when watching ma long or fan zhendong playing top spin, their feet are parralel or even the right food is slightly in front of the other foot. European players tend to have their fright foot (if right handed player) way behind the left foot when playing forehand topspin. Can you give reasons for that or am I wrong with my observation? Greetings from Germany
My coach told me that most top players now don't put their right foot behind because balls are too fast and there is no time for it . So just turn your waist is enough. Of course if the game is slower, then you should put your right foot behind as long as you have the time to do it. My coach used to be a player in my country's national team so I trust his opinion
Is the coach saying to brush "Open to Closed" or "Closed to Open"? I'm thinking he is telling Xu Xin to brush "Open to Closed". Meaning to slightly roll the paddle forward over the top of the ball when brushing, instead of brushing only steeply upwards.
I am an amateur player who likes to grow aggressive.. which blade I should buy.. I’m from India
You are using the word 'low' a lot, which is great because as you highlighted the lower body and legs is not emphasised enough at least in europe. However you mentioned in a previous video to correct your pronounciation where appropriate. Low is pronounced with an 'Oh' and not an 'ow' sound (although it is not spelt this way).
I appreciate you taking time to interact with your commenters. Also keep with the technique videos as without the correct technique you will never be able to get the most our of any equipment!
ps: I know you teach and favour chinese forehand but most players (at least in europe) still use german or japanese tension rubbers, I imagine the technique would differ. Can you cover this please.
Wow you're racist.
I bought dhs g888 rubber and dhs hurricane 2 rubber
which one should I use for forehand and which one should I use for backhand?
If you could clarify, please. To me, in the example starting at 12:51 the coach appears to be still rotating around his elbow on the follow through. Yes, he is making a weight transfer as he starts his swing, but he points at the inside of his elbow, and folds it on the way through. I guess I need clarification on what "rotating around the elbow " means. Also, does the coach start out his swing with a fairly open face angle (paddle is almost vertical at the start and at impact), and then he appears to close the angle as he follows through (by rotating his forearm). Is this accurate? Thanks.
hello just wanted to ask, when looping the ball you should contact the ball at your side. But what about counter topspin ? When i see zhang jike, he contacts the ball a bit infront of his body. So should i when playing counter topspin contact the ball on my side too?
Ma Long relax arm when loop. Use body and legs for acceleration. Very difficult technique. It is for professional player. If you understand the technique, then you can learn.You can not lose a single detail. Pay attention to the shoulder and wrist. This forehand technique allows you to very quickly perform a powerful top spin.
Hello Emratthich . I'm a loop kill player with chinese rubber. My current set up is Dr Neubauer World Champion with Yinhe Big Dipper on FH. It's so fast to me . The ball coming out from the table . Can you recomend best choice chinese tacky rubber for my forehand ? Thx and sorry for bad English
hi coach! Can you suggest a setup for me. I live in pakistan and dont get genuine rubbers (according to me). I like to attack on the forehand when possible and chop during most of the rally but against topspin i use blocks more. and against a flawed chop i tend to attack.
I am currently using
yinhe n5
with
sanwei taregt FH
and rakza 7 soft BH
Looking forward to your reply as i am in dire need of changing my setup.
sir i have one question.. my set up blade was pg7 for forehand i used tg3 neo for backhand donic bluefire m3. is this set up ok?
Can you help me have my first custom racket 'cause I just started few years ago. I am an offensive player and I need advices.
here's what I am thinking of the parts
blade - friendship 729 8030
forehand rubber - dhs neo h3
backhand rubber - friendship 729 focus 3 snipe
can you give me suggestions?
Use h8 for forehand
You are awesome coach you made very nice video
Thank you :-)
Hi! , i started playing for about a year ago and lately ive gotten into a tournament but, im vert nervous that i cant play like usual. do you have any tips for this kind of problem? thanks.
hi EmRatThich, i admire your videos very much. I want your suggestion on my alternate blade. I use DHS Hurricane H-WL with DHS hurricane 3 neo in forehand and 729 Battle 2 in backhand. this combination works just well for me. now i want a spare blade but H-WL is not available. Can you suggest me which blade matches with the characteristics of H-WL most? I am thinking of DHS PG13, Yinhe T-11+, PG7,PG9, GT9, YINHE T-10 etc. But dont know which is more similar to H-WL with speed, weight, hardness and feeling....Can you please help me in sort this out...??
Can you explain the technique for a backhand drive, block? My coach says I bend my wrist backwards to much
wow man i remember watching ur early vids now you got a big channel wish for more and maybe try your own self(im talking about you) playing table tennis that way you can explain better. i think its time for some serve return isnt it.thank u very much man u help me out im 16 and im at a good level hoping too become a national player but school gets in the way.if u reply i have some questions abou hurricane 3 neo orange or blue sponge?
they grow up so fast...
I started playing again after a gap and noticed that my FH topspin and FH loop, both are going out of the table. While trying to analyze my strokes, I feel either there is more speed/force generated which is putting the ball off the table or cud be something which I may not be aware. If u cud give any guidance/tips, wud be helpful. Also my FH is quiet strong, any suggestions for good racket paddle and rubbers for FH & BH. Wud like to have good spin & control. Thanks.
hi coach emt you are doing a good job in your videos I am an offensive attacking player but somehow I cannot smash on backhand chops which is my weakness also I have a premade bat of mark v and I am thinking of upgrading to a custom bat I also think that I need more spin on my serves I was thinking of tenergy 80 on backhand but what forehand rubber and wood should I use I also have a short height thanks please reply it will really help me
I'm confused. Your videos mention we should be using harder tackier rubber even for the backhand but I see in your video comments 7:45 that you have suggested Rakza 7 (which is soft rubber) for someone. Can you please clarify?
Who is your DADDY? lol xD
hahahaa LOL
patrickchoi I died XD
Does that mean something?
Should i Do wieght transfer in backhand stroke
Also i was looking to buy a joola rhyzm p FH. will that be fine or no?
Thank you very much for the tutorial! I would like to help you with your English if I may..."Low" ... is pronounced "ˈlō" Thanks Again!
More videos!
Hello i have some questions for you i will explain everything. When i started to play i was about 8 years old . My first racket was some Andro blade with some Andro rubbers. When i was 12 i started to train 2 - 3 times daily. I had blade Timo Boll Off- and it was perfect for me with Tenergy 05. After a year i started play higher leagues and the blade was too slow for me and i wanted faster blade , but this blade had everything what i needed most beautiful was the spin with Tenergy 05 it has big spin and it was beautiful on backhand shots and in controll. So after a good year i was finding similar but faster blade so i bought Timo Boll W5 with T05 and it was horrible no spin just big vibrations and speed on forehand but uncontrollable on backhand. I was dissatisfied so i changed this blade for Timo Boll ALC with T05 it didn't have vibrations but it wasn't had the spin which i want. It had smaller spin . Forehand was ok but the same uncontollable backhand. Now im playing with it and i don't know which blade i have to use with T05 which can be simillar to Timo Boll Off- but faster and better feeling. Can u give me some your opinions? My style is dominating attacking player close to the table both sides but FH is my stronger side.
Hi Ender. You are right that Timo Boll W5 has the different feeling with your Boll OFF-. I've encountered exactly the same problem when improving the higher league: if you play OFF+ blade, you loose the feeling and make many unforced error.
I propose you to use the blade that you like the best, and then increase the hardness of the rubber. Nowadays, Tenergy 05 is not fast, and hard enough for the new poly ball. So pro player requests their personal version of tenergy 05 (harder). You can simply find another alternatif (about 49-50 ESN hardness scale is good). Changing the rubber hardness is much easier than changing the blade. As I mentioned in my video, the blade decides 80% of your playing style.
Bests,
Thank you , do you think that i have to back to Timo Boll Off- blade? Because i grew up and i have other feeling and i remember that i couldn't feel with that blade backhand flick and all short game. My friends in club said me that with this blade i don't have future.I was on meeting with the best player in my state and he said that i have to play with blade that is best for me with Tenergys without boost until i don't feel that i want to use it. For info im master in my state in my category but anyway i have problems with equipment. My friend bought DHS Hurricane 3 neo (blue sponge) and it was not bad but i don't know what i have to use. I have similar style to china players like i said im dominating atacking player. I didn't tried much blades but i know that Arylate-carbon is not for me and Zylon too. I like only wood blades. I tried some carbon without inserts and i felt the ball on it. Im accustomed on Tenergy rubbers and i cant play with normal tensor rubbers this is problem. I was one year boosting rubbers but with some of poor quality booster it was uncontrollable so i stopped. Is dianchi , haifu boosters quality boosters? Have i to use it? Thanks for answer
hi emrat table tennis coach my name is danny i am 13 years old and i play in division 6 of my local league i am using butterfly bryse both FH and BF i like it on my BH but i dontl like it on my FH any good FH rubber suggests
thx for the video and keep it up you are helping me or us a lot :)
And I've got a question.
I have the tendency to hit the ball really late and let it drop to low.
That results that i loose power and consistency in my loops.
Besides my error rate is much higher.
However because of this i adjust my bodyposition so my body moves down so i can still hit it.
The loop gets really spinny when i do this but i know that my technique suffers under this circumstance.
Hi. I cannot looping and topspin when the player chopping. I am using Xiom vega tour blade with both side tenergy 05 2.1. Should i change my equipment? I didn't go to training it means i have no teacher. But i really love playing table tennis. Now i'm 26 years old so maybe it's too late to go table tennis training but i need to know how to play. Anyway thank you so much for the videos i learnt many things from you.
I am not a coach but don't have much problem playing with chopper with loop. There are a few things I think can help. First, you can practice using hip to transfer weight from forehand side to backhand side. Second, footwork should put your body at the right position and allow your full arm to swing. Third, lower your racquet and relax the wrist. As the ball comes and bounces off your court, you can feel how much bottom spin on the ball, depending on amount of spin you can hold the racquet slightly open, use your index finger (if you use handshake) to micro adjust your racquet assuming you hold your racquet straight as an extension to your forearm (some people hold theirs perpendicular to the forearm, the index finger can't help much in this case). If the ball has more bottom spin, swing your arm more upward motion than forward motion. Contact the ball when it starts to fall will yield best accuracy, but if you let the ball drop a little, it will lose some spin. I prefer to let it drop a little so I can predict the amount of spin better. Combine all the actions from legs, hip, shoulder, elbow and the wrist can make a very strong swing of your racquet creating top spin to the ball. I think your equipment should be fine, it's the technique that really matters. I use Hurricane Neo III rubber on Palio energy 3, more tacky rubber than yours and less speed than your blade, I really enjoy looping.
Take a look at some matches between DingNing vs Wu Yang or Ma Long vs Joo Se Hyuk.
Thank you so much! I wish you a a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year! I ashtrays enjoy your table tennis videos. I look forward to watching your video on backhand loops. Also, could you please teach us the technique on how to loop softly by brushing the ball and how to loop underspin? Thank you so much!
In your other videos, you mentioned the difference between a chinese sticky rubbers and european rubbers. Now, since there i difference between the chinese forehand loop and european forehand loop, does that mean that to learn chinese technique,one should use chinese rubbers and not european rubbers?Very few videos talk about what rubber to use when doing a chinese stroke. I think they should mention it.
what rubbers are best for looping?....pls answer
Hey EmRatThich! :)
I know that the style is not very common among pro players but would you consider giving tips for traditional chinese penholders/ japanese penholders like Ryu Seung Min or Kaii Yoshida? :)
What do you mean when you say Ma Long "does not rotate his elbow anymore" . What does this mean. He is also folding his elbow and snapping his forearm. Yes, he is using his body, but the arm and elbow are involved. Can you explain this further or post a video on this? It is confusing. Thanks.
Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean that Ma Long doesn't rotate his elbow anymore. I want to correct it as "Ma Long uses his hip to mainly rotate and generate the force for his loop. He still uses his elbow to transfer and add power to his forehand topspin". Thank you for your comment.
No, thank you. Can you reference a video that shows the snapping of the forearm? Obviously the body must rotate, as well. I appreciate your response.
