3 Easy Drills To Improve Timing in Table Tennis

[@joshjesusco7954]

Timing is Crucial! 1. Take a step from the table 2. Pause and Accelerate 3. Aligning the ball

[@shengmingliang6988]

I have been playing table tennis for 14 years, and the advice from this episode still benefits me so much. One thing to look out to is that you should pause in your multiple training as well--lots of time coach has consistent shots, so you are used to that tempo. Some times you should slow down and tell yourself that the balls is yours, take your time.

[@Technical.Table.Tennis]

Love the video. One of the best things you can do for timing is the Chinese concept of "in pai." Pretend the incoming ball is connected to your paddle with an elastic string and pull the ball towards your racket before beginning your forward stroke.

[@Waingro808]

lol, someone has been watching too much emratthich...

[@Technical.Table.Tennis]

@@Waingro808 you've got to give him credit for bringing this concept up. It's super helpful

[@Wally-H]

Thanks guys. I played your dad at the Maidstone tournament, Dan, and he picked up that I was rushing my shots. That slight pause is something I will definitely be working on. I tend to do it more when I play good players because I am trying too hard.

[@TableTennisDaily]

Hey John, awesome stuff! Hope you enjoyed the Maidstone I miss playing down that way. Yes definitely, when you play a player who is higher than your level its easy to rush your shots and end up forcing. There is a lot more time than you think, and it can be better to slow down your shots and rallying with the opponent.

[@WuFei0707]

Sounds like very good advices. I'll put them into practice soon!

[@mastro211]

Awesome advice guys! I'm a coach in Australia and I tell my students the 1st two points very often, so it's good to see players around the world such as yourselves giving the same advice! Brings me confidence :D

[@GianpaoloLaPaglia]

Very useful video and advices. Going back into table tennis after 30 years of inactivity, having all these great suggestions will help to speed up the process. Thank you!!

Great teaching and techniques for improve our table tennis

[@ExtremeGameTT]

Very useful video. Thanks

[@umairpioneer]

I've learnt table tennis without a proper coach and have developed some unusual technique. I play close to the table shots very well as i use my wrist 9/10 times for both forehand and backhand shots. As a result, my wrist has started feeling some pain more often now. I've started practicing using full arm at forehand side but little hesitant that it would likely affect my game. Do you suggest something for this sort of problem?

[@nextgame4059]

This video is one of the most useful videos I have seen. Thank you! Also when is your full Icecream-Blade Review coming?

[@tommaynard8101]

Hey next game, glad you enjoyed the video! The full ice cream blade review will be out very soon so keep an eye out!

[@godknifetube]

Thanks for these pointers! Very helpful. Can you do a video on how to create space and align one’s body if the ball is returned at one’s body/elbow?

[@NarenSandy]

You have to bend your body to your weak hand side and play the similar shot. I'm no expert, but I guess that should work

[@heshamsharaf3053]

[@mikael6958]

Please do the review of the sanwei target pro

[@sten2246]

It's all in the footwork guys. These theories are all good when the ball is played at the same pace and position but fail miserably when the ball catches up to you. With correct footwork and always playing the ball in front of you you will create more time and space in a game. Fantastic fitness and fantastic footwork is your way foreward, hence the timing improves.

[@josepinchero]

what about the first part of the timing? before your stroke...you need to move. the timing of when to move (first), the timing of the backswing (and speed of it), the timing of when to move into foreswing (and speed of it) and the timing of the body torso turning and weight transfer in all of this ^.

[@rrrprogram8667]

Please make a tutorial on forehand loop

Hey RRR Program, we have the Forehand Loop tutorial on our website: tabletennisdailyacademy.com/videos/the-forehand-topspin/ Thanks for watching :)

[@jamesharvey7089]

Hi please can you review the Jun Mizutani zlc and Zhang Jike zlc not the super versions. You could invite Liam Pitchford again as he uses the Mizutani zlc now instead of the viscaria

[@TableTennisDaily]

Hey James, sounds great we will look into it. I am interested to into why Liam changed from a Viscaria to a Mizutani ZLC, it for sure seems to be working for him right now :)

[@jamesharvey7089]

Thanks for considering my idea guys👍

[@나라가망해야나라가산]

should i hit the ball at the top of its bounce or right after the top of the bounce?

[@kaiqiao9976]

Jongmin Choi hit the ball at the top of its bounce but it is a little difficult. you can try it right after the top,it is easier to do.

[@strik3r727]

Good film :D

[@tommaynard8101]

Thanks!

[@psrikant1342]

Can you tell us where exactly we have to pause , by making circle in the video. So that it will be more clear.

[@tommaynard8101]

Hey! The small pause should happen at the end of your back swing which then allows you to accelerate into the shot

[@jerpsrn]

I just started playing table tennis at 29. It's really so much fun to do with your friends but i'm the mooooooost nooob amongst them XD

[@Sudzy06]

Hey I’m guessing you still play what bat should I get and table?

[@RonaldoCR-fi9nk]

Hey could you please suggest me a racket to buy for Aggressive game. I prefer fast racket also would like to have spin on it.

[@crossbowmarksman]

Hi Palash, you want the fastest raquet then try a Butterfly Sardius Tamco 5000 , it's the fastest blade available. Use Butterfly 64FX on forehand(Red) and Butterfly 80 on backhand (Black) and you'll have the quickest gun in the world.. But beware, you will sacrifice control so you'll need lots of robot practice. Have fun, oh wait... This is going to be expensive!

[@neptun5707]

Dan, could you make a review to the new Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce ALC Blade?

[@saeeshk6766]

I always mess up in match . but while normal counters accuracy is good but in match i always get tensed up anything for this 😅

[@加长管径]

please review xiom azx and azxi！

[@nagachief984]

4:41 legend says he is still pulling out balls from the pocket

[@MrSweat-bg1ko]

i didn't understand

[@ttjesus4959]

Shouldn't be pulling your bat backwards for a backswing. You should be pulling it down and rotating your hip backward. And Dan, I see you slapping the ball a bit because of it. And without moving anything, but your arm, just draw a line from your backswing through your whole swing...It's not a straight line, as it should be. Your arm should just be going up and down basically. The elbow closing is all that should be happening. Of course, you can angle the wrist down and release it as the elbow closes. But, I'm just talking basics. Anyway, your hips rotating is what should give you power. This is how you can get a lot more spin. Then, you'll be able to hit the ball much lower with a ton more power on it as you get used to swinging like that because the added spin allows you to hit the table with a lot more pace on the ball. And since you're not slapping the ball, it can be hit lower. Slapping tends to hit the ball upwards too much. It's hard to get consistency on slaps too. This is also why you get beat by spins too. You would be able to counter spins a whole lot better if you weren't slapping the ball

[@ttjesus4959]

I'm a coach. Email me at [e-mail] if you want to get a lot better, Dan. I've seen all your matches several times and a lot of your hitting for reviews. I can improve your game so significantly that you would be amazed. Just by talking to you a bit, I guarantee I can get you playing at a way higher level

[@TheChrisinger]

Top of the bounce, always top of the bounce.. well, what if the top of the bounce is at about the height of my head? In situations when the opponent does a high-arching topspin from the distance. How am I going to topspin this ball back on the top of the bounce? Besides, it's way harder to topspin a backspin ball on the highest point than when it's falling.

[@Sam-ek2ro]

He literally says at 5:55 that different shots have different timing points.

[@TheChrisinger]

@@Sam-ek2ro Yeah but in the video it seemed like the perfect contact point is on top of the point 95% of the time

[@nxxxx_s]

It’s common Euro technic base. China aspects is different.

Avoid reaching forward because you lose the upward motion that creates spin.
