Yes it is. I'm glad you liked the video.

Hey thanks for the question. The best place to ask these is on our website. Our premium members vote on the questions on our website and that is how we decide which ones to film an answer for.
Thanks for the kind words and congratulations on your progress.
Great question and one that might need a bit more room to answer. Take a look on our website and ask a question under the Ask the Coach section.
Thanks. It's all about practice! :)
Great. Thanks for sharing that. It sounds like a great way to improve your blocking. Well done.
Thank you for those basic lessons. They really help. Relaxing is the key.
You're welcome. I'm glad they are helping. Make sure you checkout our website, we've got heaps more videos there too!
It was actually from the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Thank you so much! :D I've never played table tennis until college. Since I watched you videos, I really learned a lot more than our professors. The skills and techniques in your videos improved mg game play. :D I'll be our section's representative for the school's tournament and it's all thanks to your teachings. :D I've almost watched your videos. Thanks again. :) I'll invite my good buddies to watch also. :D You guys ROCK!! God Bless and keep the passion. :D
Sure is! :)
What I like to do, after I'm done doing strokes is blocking. My friends love to loop, which allows me plenty of blocking practice. My more experience friend/coach tells me to loosen my hold slightly, to absorb the force of the ball so that the ball returns to my training partner slow and pretty high. This is only used for practice, but it's a good stepping stone for using blocking in a game. After a while I found blocking a lot more natural.
It's hard to keep up with all the different equipment available as there are just so many options. If you go to our website you can ask this question under our "ask the coach" section and we'll open it up to our readers and see if they have any advice for you.
It is difficult with only 6 balls. Multi-ball is more effective when you've got at least 50 balls.
If you wish to start attacking you may need to take a bit of a risk. You'll need to topspin their topspin which we have a video on. You can find it on our website. Take a look and see if it helps you out.
Here is my 2-penny. When you will become comfortable with blocking, try to change the angle of your bat to place the ball where you wish. If you can place it either too far from his previous shot or to his body, you may get a weaker return to attack on that. This my policy. As to make topspin drive takes more time to get back to the initial position than an efficient blocking, it may put him slightly off-balance if you place it well.
You're welcome.
thanks, great advice :)
Great. :)
relaxing is also important for moving and attacking
Yes thank you very much I might buy it :)
Thanks you.
Thanks u so much master sifu
Take a look at our video on the forehand smash. You can find it on our channel here or on our website.
thanks
I don't know why but I never panicked when there was smash, just placed my bat where the ball approximately came (not always of course...).
thank you PingSkills
+Josie Morales You're welcome.
So this is a block lesson, I'm a defense player and yes! You explained right
Thank you very much !! :)) I
Yes I had the same probelem a while ago great advice, it does work.
I was just wondering though if you could recomend any very fast carbon blades under the price of $100 something smooth with good feeling and fine wood?
It sure is.
this the the must practice in tt
sir alois, very good advice ! but how do i transition from blocking game to a topspin game to win the point in a rally?
try Galaxy/Yinhe blades, very cheap and quite good
I don't have my own table, but I'm pretty good where could I practice?
There are many carbon blades try Friendship V5 if you are going for the cheapest
When I go to school I'm not scared of smash anymore .. :)))
how to you attack or return a high ball or high and deep ball, deep meaning at the end of the table :)
how about try the globe 522 carbon blade just under $100 but very good
Grt show sir
Thanks
can you teach me how to serve like MA Long
+Josie Morales He does have a very good serve! We have a course on the PingSkills website for our premium members called Serving Secrets. In there we teach all about the serve including the pendulum serve which is one of Ma Long's favourite serves.
Jeff was about to poop. Turned off the camera just in time 😂

This is a common occurrence. Watch these videos for more help - www.pingskills.com/tutorials/sports-psychology
how can we shot fast
Sir I'm not perfectly defending serve when it comes too faster please teach how to defend low height serve with both back hand and front hand sir.....
For the fast serves a good strategy to start with is to block them back. Don't try to hit the ball too hard but rather try to place it well so it will be hard for your opponent. As you grow in confidence you can then start to topspin the ball. Our tutorials on the forehand and backhand topspin will help you with this. Good luck!
i want to play like jeff with this speeed :D
Plzz give video on how to defend
Take a look at this video on the forehand chop: www.pingskills.com/tutorials/advanced-strokes/forehand-chop
Ballarat?
I can't defend all the opponent smashes,sometimes the ball was going out of the table.why?
Because it's hard to defend smashes. Try keeping the ball low and short over the net on your serve so your opponent cannot smash it. Then you can try and attack first.
Olympic table?
You're welcome.
