10 Tips To Become A Better Table Tennis Player Quickly | Part 2

[@TableTennisDaily]

What other table tennis tips do you think are key to improving quickly? 👇🏓

[@Morot782]

Dan we need the Clump guide

[@bangboombam]

To actually play instead of just watching videos about table tennis (self reminder)

[@Afropalmen]

When you play matches during practice. EXPERIMENT!! If you keep playing the same you never learn something new. It's only a practice match. Take the oppertunity to fokus on a certian element of the game. For example. Backhand loop on everything you can! Don't be afrid to miss. Find the feeling

[@jarnedesmet5768]

Something like the first one play with spin and not with speed especialy at low levels.

[@lebiejoo]

Mental game changer for me: compliment your opponent. Edge hit? Well aimed. Net ball? Still counts! I find that getting the moral upper hand drastically reduced stress and improved my ability to reset between points. Plus, it confuses people too which is just plain fun.

[@benchawes965]

One tip I got from a champ was to LOOK at your opponent's racket first and then follow the ball until you hit it with your racket. This gives you a little more time to see where the ball is going - and to react. So as soon as the ball has left your racket don't look at the ball but at the opponent's racket. So you only look at the ball from your opponent's racket and till you hit it. Hope this makes sense(?) hard to explain...

[@GuoJing2017]

Three things I have been doing more that have helped me a lot (still a work in progress), a lot also covered in this video: Regular serve practice Asking different players to serve to me straight for a period of time outside of pressure from a match More irregular exercises, favourite ones are someone topspins medium pace to me full table and I block back to one spot for them (good for me because I need to practice small transition and keeping bat high), someone block free for me full table, and also fast multiball full table again trying to stop me from taking a big swing and dropping my arm

[@saddlar5786]

Still waiting on my clump tutorial from the chair 😂

[@JAREK_TT]

I will do this soon with chairman 😂

[@irtiza4262]

great video! Another important thing is that if you keep on practicing with the same person, you will play really good against them but when someone else comes you will play really bad against them, at least that's what happens with me, so its important to play with a variety of players if possible

[@kenji2787]

I would focus less on serve. Winning is a motivator for passion, but losing is a good motivator for improvement. People with extraordinary serves and win games mostly on serves tends to have weaker games once those serves no longer win points. Letting your racquet falls down is a good reminder for relaxing your stroke. One thing I learned from 11VR (sadly) despite so many bads, is recognizing myself being too tense and playing the “Brushing/Scrubbing up my bathroom wall” instead of a “swing”. So I had to let my racquet fall before every swing because it would be impossible to make the kind of tense stroke I was doing starting from that.

[@XCSme]

Like it or not, the serve-receive is like 80% of the table-tennis game nowadays. It's not only the mechanical part of service receive but also tactical and psychological part. This is what makes the game be more like chess and poker, the constant bluffing and prediction of your opponent's next move, or what they will be most likely to try in the next point.

[@kenji2787]

It has nothing to do with like or dislike. The point is to improve by giving yourself a handicap. Your goal is to be able to out power, out consistency, and out play everyone eventually. If your game is based on your incredible serves and you’re 11-9 vs your opponent, then he is a much better player than you’re. He can play against much better player who won’t be losing to your serve, but you can’t. Have a few serves in your repertoire to make the game more interesting or to prevent people from attacking/flicking everything but don’t try to win points with it.

[@XCSme]

@@kenji2787 Having a good serve doesn't mean it wins the point immediately, it means you get an advantage in the rally and enables you to play in your strength areas. For example, my strongest shot is fh opening against semi-long backspin balls, so I use serves that enable me to do that shot as my 3rd ball attack, which is usually a winner, or makes the opponent very passive. And the better player is not the one with better serves, better rallying or better tactics. The better player is the one who wins the match-up consistently.

[@kenji2787]

> enable me to do that shot as my 3rd ball attack, which is usually a winner I don’t see anything new here. Do you?

[@Stalker-of6bn]

Good tips! The basis of them is definitely the love for table tennis and respect for the opponent.

[@secrettomas-_-1158]

Tip 10 is great because I started playing in september and I have improved drastically, I really love your videos, keep it up

[@TTDFAN144]

Loved this part 2, this reminds me of part 1 which was the video that convinced me to take table tennis very seriously so thanks for this upload!

[@KabirSingh-xx6mf]

Thank you for your suggestion

[@dwitvora15]

Thanks for those tips! Very helpful...

[@Lpfdw]

maybe some mental tips because the mental is a HUGE part of table tennis and even give some tips on how to get less stressed or if your in a win or lose situation etc

[@RedLameDog]

Ye getting your head in the game is such a big part of it. Confidence of a shot/serve when your losing and it’s set point… 😵‍💫

[@Lpfdw]

yeah i dont now how many games i have lost because of my mental@@RedLameDog

[@GuoJing2017]

Chimp paradox is a useful book to read, and also peak performance table tennis has a section on this

[@RedLameDog]

@@GuoJing2017ye that’s a great book. And KZbin audiobook too.😉 Really interesting to help your mindset

[@crocheli]

Very good tips ! As an intermediate player, for me point 7 is very hard to fix, easy to overshoot or block active when out of position (related to point 2 in fact). I will try your training tips

[@idhrubamajumder]

Thanks for making me more skilled in this field ❤ lots of love

[@TableTennisDaily]

That's what we love to hear 🔥🏓

[@leniwiectoja]

[@peters9793]

Very good suggestions

[@insertnamehere8577]

Dont have anything to say, just commenting to boost the video

[@joaoporto4713]

Great video, keep going 👏🏻👏🏻

[@operationblackout1095]

for tip no. 2 you guys suggested that it is important to keep shots compact for easier transitions. But what if we are using slow chinese rubbers which requires us to use a more bigger stroke? isn't the idea to play more compact much more suited for European style table tennis?

[@marvinh1571]

On the very highest level yes. But if you aren’t a pro/semi-pro player you can get away with almost anything. And I would bet my kidney that any player that starts in a pro event, even when they have been using esn rubbers their whole life would outperform any semi pro even if they switched to Chinese rubbers for the first time. The general technique of having compact strokes for shorter recovery is so important, that the last 5/10% of power that you get with longer strokes only really matters when you truly need those last few mph/km/h because your opponent is so good at defending/counterattacking. The fact that you need long strokes to play Chinese rubbers is a myth, just because you see MaLong or fFZD twisting nearly 360 degrees with a fully straight arm doesn’t mean you HAVE to play like this with these rubbers.

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

Cracking Video ... my suggestion to Dan to improve his game is to ditch wearing the bulky watch and perhaps even the sweat/wrist band. I don't really recall any players doing this as it disrupts ones balance. Just use a towel ... i just looked at one of the old ttd knockout videos and you did the same there.....vs the rocket (although in that case the outcome wouldn't have changed).

[@vladi869]

Merci pour les conseils!

[@BaBa28100]

Thank you SOOOO much

[@RedLameDog]

Great video guys! But the first tip was “get the ball on the table”, the checklist at the end says it’s the same as tip 3 “actually practice” 🤔 I suppose I do need to do that more though… Only twice a week atm. 😬😅

[@TableTennisDaily]

Hey thanks dude! Hope it helps your game! Oh yes you're right, graphic error :D

[@mishanya1162]

Practicing both IRL and VR I played bad IRL before holidays, on holidays played VR and now my IRL game is rly good for beginner Im progressing a lot less IRL bcz theres almost noone to play with

[@murtuzaarbaz2321]

Great video

[@nealtran1856]

tip no.11: spend $$$ to train with world-ranked players.

[@doppelganger72]

How come you guys never use these "compact strokes" in your real matches? And you seem so tensed up demonstrating it. You can't relax if you don't drop your bat/hand down, esp. playing a forehand topspin.

[@alikarim5656]

Use less tips
