I have watched SO many TT tutorial videos in the past year and this one is the golden one that I keep coming back to. These fundamental make every shot, every single aspect of playing, so much better!! Thank you for posting such incredible-quality, free content. I particularly appreciate your attention to how to brush topspin balls on one plane of motion - that's a huge struggle for me and the explanations and demonstrations here are excellent.
Another awesome world class coaching video. And it's always a pleasure to watch you two at work, pure class, entertaining and effective coaching. How fortunate that we have this reservoir of knowledge at our fingertips. As an old bastard, I really hope the younger generations appreciate this privilege, and don't take it for granted. If I had had access this when I was a kid...wow
Love this video! One of the big things I've been working on as a newer junior (been playing for ~3 years) is shortening the stroke. Such a big swing causes so many problems! Great job Tom and Dan, I appreciate the video.
imp topic adressed in a unique context , otherwise before that have always heard about consistency related to movement drill, keeping ball in eye, timing,combination of wrist and arm and reading spin etc. thanks dear
Hi Dan and Tom. I love all your videos. Regarding the "bending one's knees" - I have been playing for 50 years; at my age bending my knees and keeping low is not an option (unless I want to go to the hospital). What alternative advice would you have to offer to older, experienced players who no longer compete in tournaments, but play for fun, want to remain injury free and would like to be a little more consistent? I sprained my ankle playing doubles, ruptured a tendon and tore three ligaments. I am facing surgery followed by eight weeks in a cast and one year in rehab. I can't afford any more injuries if I want to continue playing the sport I love; table tennis. Thanks very much. Cheers. By the way, no more playing doubles for me, from now on.
Hey James, wow hope surgery goes well. I completely agree with you in that bending low for players who have knee injuries etc is definitely not appropriate. One thing I would highly recommend before playing Table Tennis is a warm up. Get the pulse raising and plenty of stretching. This helps you prepare for the practice and gets your muscles ready and warm. Another thing is that I find players tend to drop off to far from the table, this means you have to cover more ground. Develop a game where you stay relatively close to the table so you can cut the angles more contacting the ball at the top of the bounce. This will give you less pressure on your body. Really hope you make a speedy recovery :)
@@TableTennisDaily Hi Dan! Thank you for the favor of a reply, your kind wishes and valuable advice! I really appreciate it! I wish you all the success in your endeavors. I look forward to all your videos! I will share some thoughts later to see if there is anything you might find intriguing or helpful. Cheers!
The greatest thing I ever saw for consistency was from a Chinese coach (a former national mixed doubles champion) who coached the provincial team in my area ~25 years ago. In spite of being top-tier players, there was no further practice for a team member until after a warm-up of 100 consecutive forehand drives and 100 consecutive backhands; and of course you were dependent on your partner at the moment to get _playable_ returns. You'd be surprised how your 'messy' forehand gets smartened-up if your practice partner is getting a tad impatient, missing _his_ 100 (at 85-count, say) because _you_ can't keep an even stroke, spin, pace, and placement! You start _REALLY_ concentrating on just exactly what you are doing, both at the single-stroke-level in real time, and compositely over the course of one or two minutes.
Hi Tom and Dan Your videos are of great quality. I know you were showing at some point in your videos what equipment each player is using but i cant find it anymore. Can you please refer the link of the video if there is one or maybe just write it down in the comment? Pleaseee. Thanks a lot for your videos.
Hi @TableTennisDaily, Your video is very interesting and very useful. Can I translate it to Vietnamese for Vietnam players to improve their skills? Thank you,
I have a question If I get into a routine (like from backend in my side to forent on the opponnet side) Keep the routine and let the other player change the ball side and make the mistake? Or do I need to change the ball direction? What do you say? What do the statistics say?
Please talk about how can one shift from backhand to forehand effectively, especially that one has to do micro adjustments in the grip and body weight shifting. I always struggle doing that causing me miss the shots especially going from backhand to forehand.
Super video! Loved the tips and coaching. However you didn't preface it with the type of equipment or style of play. How do you explain the 2400 level player that stands straight up with their feet 6 inches apart with short pips pushing opponents back and forth and never moving more than a foot. They are immune to any type of spin and can get away with terrible form yet beat everyone....
Sure, but the unspoken context in this video is consistency in _basic attack stroke_ *production* . To elaborate, there is no point talking about consistenly getting the ball back on the table playing against a block/chop/flick/loop/smash/FEINT twiddler like a Fabian Ankerstrom until you can play consistently against a standard inverted block and drive attacker. Edit: To more pragmatically answer your problem however, there is in fact _nothing_ you can do with these players unless and until you can find a practice-partner who isn't a fking moron. That is, between the two (or three) of you, you are savvy enough go out a buy some cheap (second-hand, old) bats and pips-out, long-pips, antiloop blades and/or rubbers and practice with them. You take turns; you serve illegal serves with Dr. Neuerbargler evil garbage rubbers. You _learn_ first-hand how these garbage-rubbers work by playing with them. And you practise against them. Several hours a week. It will take something like a year of practice until you understand all them, their dynamics and quirks.
What you mentioned are only for beginner level. When you play circuit games for ranking, you have to swing harder and keep the bat more erected. That's the only way to win a point in a serious match.
Well on even higher level you can’t keep making the same shot and has to have variety of spin and shots so you can’t be blocked or dropped shoted. I always wonder why pro don’t do block/dropshot like Waldner did in the day with such efficiency. Then I found a video of real pro player vs “pro” youtuber table tennis on block. He could block the ball, it just won’t return to the table most of the time.
I think there are a few things you can do. Firstly, video record yourself and watch it back. Try to pin point what your doing well and what you can work on... perhaps your shot is to big, not bending the knees enough? Weight not forward. I would suggest working on the fundamental basics. Stay relaxed and keep your shot simple. Try not to do to much with your strokes. Keep it simple and get the fundamental basics right first. Slow things right down and focus on the quality of the shot your playing rather than to much pace and speed.
Stay low?....an old friend told me they put shortened thumbtacks in the back of the shoes when he was young. I put a small piece of soft eraser. It did work though. Shortened swing? A guy in my club had an easier solution: Be more athletic! I was dumbfounded it was so stupid. I'm 40 and won't get any faster.
Hi David, completely agree with you. I think this tip is for players who break down in the rally and are not consistent with their strokes. Quite often its because they are putting to much swing on the ball and not recovering. As the level goes up players can swing more and have better recovery as they have stronger footwork. We tend to see players early on with their development swinging their shots to big and not developing the right contact and timing on the ball.

Second tip, the feeling, is also formulated by one Swedish coach as "meet the ball slowly, softly, and only then accelerate".

Going it with a Game plan?? As soon as the ball is in action my brain is offline and everything is "dark" until the ball is dead
Lol yea

Hi Dan and Tom. I noticed you guys use the red rubber for the forehand, is that standard practice? Thanks.
tip 0: never sit on the table.

Pongfinity vs Dan!
Edit:Thanks for 84 likes.

Dan, will u be at the qatar open
Great, guys, well done
Thanks for your tips 👍👍👍
Good videos boys. Especially like the tip about keeping the same plane (blade angle) throughout the shot. Very nice!! 👍🏽
Me too
Great video
Thanks you guys
Thank you air news was spot on site yards hamza
When you showed how NOT to stand upright and flatfooted, I immediately recognized my style of play :).
Great informative video as usual, Dan!
Please twll about the eubbers and rackets u both use..pls
Short strokes gives you more consistency but bigger swing gives more power speed and spin to the ball its harder to master but way more superior
hitting the ball at the optimal point gives most speed and spin. A force that is not directed correctly, wastes a lot of energy, reducing precision.
correct me if i’m wrong, but isnt a 7 ply blade (all wood or carbon) ideal for short swing rather than a 5 ply all wood blade?..
Verry gud. Thenks
You guys rock! Super helpful in my game! Thank you!
Thanks Shawny, no problem!
I have a question
If I get into a routine (like from backend in my side to forent on the opponnet side) Keep the routine and let the other player change the ball side and make the mistake?
Or do I need to change the ball direction?
What do you say?
What do the statistics say?
Please upload a video regarding game strategy when the opponent get more score and to overcome
Hi...what do u think about joola carbon x pro?rubbers micron 48
great video guys.
In forehand wrist movement is important
What about open to close blade for more spin and force?
Great video, well structured and great demo of technique as always. Nice hair cut btw Dan.
Thanks Aaron!

Any drill or advice for keeping the shot in the same plan ? I started playing as an adult and my strokes are messy.

Standing on the balls of your feet is ok for small shots. But for powerful shots you need to be flat footed and low for the stability

Thanx a lot

Can you just do counters or block or push/chop or lob

Can someone help me? What is Consistency in table tennis?
Cyrus Goodman Joshua Rush table tennis
consistency is the first step, to being predictable thus losing hard.
I mean, if you're very unpredicatable but very inconsistant, you will beat yourself in the match with nets and outs
@@rbdel consistently unpredictable is the best then.

@@rbdel let's agree on that bro ;-)
try those short arm movement WITHOUT an tensor esn rubber but with a hard chinese rubber... NET NET NET NET OUT OUT NET OUT
tip1 isnt always realiable... not always shorter stroke is better, top players extend their stroke depends on situation and distance from table.
