forehand smash technique in table tennis

[@pingsunday]

Who dislikes this video? Hao Shuai? 🤣

[@blueeyednick]

Lol bro you the GOAT

[@nesabrdza6548]

hahaaa :)

EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach

[@ttdenmark821]

Yeah and his friends

[@jrk1666]

the lobbers did

[@PrakashDumbre]

Training starts at 7:10 You are welcome!

[@kaesees]

I think Hao Shuai's bigger problem was that he kept smashing the ball directly at Maze instead of moving him around. Maze was an excellent lobber, and you aren't going to wear him down or get an error from him that way (just like you aren't going to win by continually looping straight at a decent chopper's pips). When a player is backed up like that, they can't possibly cover all the ground there is if you play angles instead of trying to win with brute force alone.

[@wkwkkw7830]

u probably dont understand the level of pros

[@Soper79]

Just some random thoughts here. As others have said, Michael Maze was a good lobber. His lobs were deep and he would move back to the center to cover the angles. Smashing a deep lob is harder to end the point vs a short lob. Example: Ma Long's smash in this video va Ma Lin was an easy one. It was right by the net. Then there's FZD's smash vs Vlad in the video. Samsonov at that stage of his career was older and didn't get back to the middle making that down the line smash easy. Hao Shuai should have finished but he didn't. Maybe mix in a drop shot if you cannot put it away with a smash every once in a while. I don't know. I'm sure he has replayed that moment over & over back in his head. Truth of the matter was that he just wasn't on the same skill level as Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Ma Long, Xu Xin, ZJK eventually went. So I think he would have been moved down to the B team sooner or later even if he had finished off Maze.

[@pingsunday]

+Soper79 you are right. smash the deep ball is not easy.

[@ahmadimurjani]

Maze also gave some (side) spins on his lobs which increases the difficulty to smash the ball. I saw the other version of the video which shows the match from Hao's back side. The lobs insanely kicked out.

[@AndersLindFan]

Michael maze was the best lobber.

[@LaurenceNyein]

Maze is the best lobber in the world. We all know that. it's a bit unfair to say it's Hao Shuai's fault. I got the point you want to make however, as always thanks for the video and you're teaching. you're the best coach.

[@yantos.324]

Yes I like thankyou 🙏

[@muratbatur4811]

Thanks it is useful for all tennis table players..

[@grashew4323]

[@virzyunixzgaming1349]

[@pingsunday]

+StrikeVenomz Gaming really. thank you. you still play some games?

[@nesabrdza6548]

Thanks :)

[@jacksmithgladstone7532]

coach please can you make a video of how to receive a sideunderspin serve & a side topspin serve because i have problems reading the serve and receiving the serve

[@cenktekin7175]

Jan Ove Waldner was beast on smashing

[@kj7gsdon]

Yes, Hao Shuai should have been demoted if he did not know how to properly smash. Thank you very much EmRatThich for the "80%" comment, I'll give that a try. Also the leg movement okay the whole video is important! Hao Shuai -- learn and get back to A!!!

[@jairodias6327]

@EmRatThich Table Tennis Coach, what is the reason for chinese players to switch their black rubber to the red (tensor rubber) when they are doing the last smash to finish the point? Ma Long and Fan Zhendong do it always. Nice videos

[@pingsunday]

+Jairo Dias I have explained in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKafoyLrc-kfrs

[@richarddaniels8187]

4:30 mistake

[@starshooting7463]

hao shuai wasnt sent back to team b. he was even last 8 in 2007 wttc

[@rogerx7224]

What is a MONOBLOCK CROSS PLAY in table tennis as used by Liu Guoliang in training?

[@sanjaykumarbijakal2589]

I am observing there is increasing trend of killing the top spin in India please make a video on that but waldner has done it 20 years before

[@inhinh8569]

cảm ơn người dịch

[@johnyjsl9219]

Why didn’t the Chinese coaches teach him properly to smash? Always a bad teacher behind a bad student..

[@abrarahmed357]

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

[@Koolb-wn4er]

Hi there. I am currently trying to figure out what types of rubbers and blades I should be looking for for my first setup I've ever done. Though I have played Table Tennis for a while now and I thought it was time to invest more time into the sport. So, my general parameters I was thinking of was a flexible blade and hard rubber. However, there is are so much different variations of blades and rubbers out there, that I'm kind of getting lost. So, I was wondering if you or anyone could give me some recommendations for the type of rubber and blade I was thinking of getting. THANKS!

[@Wahgwarn]

Hao Shuai smashed with the Chinese black rubber side... I wonder if more was learned from his misses than we know..?

[@andyzhaott]

true! it's difficult to smash with Chinese hard rubber due to the lack of "springiness" softer rubbers give.

[@kaesees]

Actually, at 1:14 you can see him twiddle and switch to the red side to smash. So they were already teaching that at that time.

[@abcdefgabcdefg6930]

u got me the first time i red ur comment but now i saw he already switch to his red rubber for smashing

[@danielfisher9695]

Hey Coach I have a question, what it the difference between a shakehand blade and a Chinese Penhold blade? Whenever I look at them compared in photos, I see no difference.

[@minplex7132]

Daniel Fisher Penhold have a "higher" handel thing

[@tuantrongao8335]

Chinese Penhold blades has shorter handle, to it is easier for penholder to hold.

[@andyzhaott]

The blades perform the same, but the handles are different. A shakehand blade has a longer handle and has more variety (straight, flared, etc) whereas penhold blades have a short handle.

[@papanoel2542]

Ah ah ! L'accent Français de fou quand tu dis "force" ! Ah ah ah !! Sinon c'est cool tes vidéos :)

[@WorgAgate44]

Wang Hao lost against Michael Maze too so, what happened with him? He missed very high balls and also counter-topspin

[@canicetang8837]

Lobbing can be extremely deceptive. In particular when extreme sidespins are imparted. From the regular angle, it looked just like another topspin lob. Only when they land on the table, the ball started to swerve to the side. This spin actually fools a lot of people and even the professionals at times will either missed the ball completely or delaying their smash as they hit too late as the ball is dragged to the net just like what Hao Shuai did. When you are doing this with extreme under and sidespin (under the table) like Xu Xin (called the snake). It is even more devastating because you simply didn't know which way the spin will be because the contact with the paddle is completely hidden, until the ball lands on the table. By then, it will be too late.

[@WorgAgate44]

Canice Tang thanks! But It doesn't answer my question. I asked about what happened with Wang Hao in the national team

[@canicetang8837]

Wang Hao is more consistent than Hao Shuai. At the very least, he didn't blew a 3-0 lead and leading 10-8. Then gone on lose the match 3-4 like this. Let's gave the credit to Maze for not giving up. But seriously now, Hao should had won the match easily. Choking like this is a capital punishment for the Chinese Team. Moreover. Wang Hao has much more weapons than Hao Shuai. Being a penholder himself and still has the best RPB, he was much more versatile in his choice of tactics and variety of shots. Also being a 3 times World Champion, ranking at Number 1 and medalists at the Olympic Games. Those achievements alone just meant that Wang was much more accomplished that Hao. Which is also why he is one of the head coach of the Chinese National Team after the unexpected departure of Liu Guoliang.

[@parmarpushpendra4500]

Sir how to win TT tournament ...

[@jrk1666]

to be fair maze is one the best lobbers out there

[@Zai155]

hi, may i know why some of the players switch to their backhand rubber before smashing the ball?

[@akfsx]

Hurricane Is not so good for smashing

[@user-ns3si7hw1t]

Haha, use Hao Shuai as a thumbnail.

[@antoniuswijaya1]

Coach where's the optimal contact point for smash?

[@huunghia1401]

sao chú không để phụ đề tiếng việt ạ

[@sherzade5753]

4:50 - 6:20 why did kong Linghaui have 4 serves ??

[@tobias6237]

Because table tennis match point was 21 not 11 like nowdays, so each player have 5 serves

[@whoofoto]

You have excellent videos, the technical details you highlight are always extremely useful and very helpful. I would however appreciate if you would refrain from translating WT.... because I find it vulgar and perhaps many others do too. It's plain to see what you mean and cloaking it with an an abbreviated acronym doesn't make it less offensive. Other words could just as well express the astonishment of the coach.

[@pingsunday]

what does WT mean? sorry I dont understand what you mean?

[@cosmeticcarrepair]

Hi. He is referring to 'wtf' but he didn't want to write that so he wrote 'wt...' instead. I personally thought it was hilarious 😂. Thank you for the videos they are very helpful 👍🏽

[@Cleo-Sunshine]

I learn a lot more from YangYang's videos than yours.

[@mobiusnnaito2543]

at least you learned something,duh

[@orionilian]

Yang Yang is very common coach. There are more good coaches in You Tube

[@thomasleifseth5201]

i only wish i be that blue player. i be the best in europa !!

[@rafsumsarsad]

Could you recommend a good not expensive blade for intermediate player

[@mega2codnoob]

rafeequllah ehsanullah the xiom offensive S is quite good imo, and cheap!

[@danielfisher9695]

rafeequllah ehsanullah what hold do you use?

[@tellmestraight]

EmratThich has several videos on this. In these he suggests an all+ or Off- blade. Ideal stiffness should be 2.7 to 4.0. Thye stiffness rating will give you an idea about how flexible the blade is, He has suggested the Stiga Allround Classic $40, OSP Expert $120 with shipping, Nittaku Violin $170. He suggests a flexible blade if you want to properly learn to loop. Here is some research I did after I watched EmRatThich equipment videos three times each. Then I went to tabletennisdb.com to research allround blades. Yasaka Sweden Classic 6.9 speed 9.2 control 3.0 stiffness rating 8.8 80 grams all rated 5.4 thickness About $35 plus shipping at Donic Appelgren Allplay 6.8 speed 8.7 control 4.1 stiffness Composition Limba Limba Ayous Limba Limba 5.4-5.6 thickness ALL This blade always gets great reviews except for it speed. But it could be perfect depending on a players technique level. About $38 plus shipping Butterfly Primorac: Materials-limba-limba-ayous-limba-limba Off - Thickness 5.5 - 5.7 mm 86-90 grams 7.7 speed 8.8 control 4.5 stiffness 8.7 overall rating 90 weight blade dimensions 157 150 ALL+ Great Blade sold 10s of thousands or more but little bit less flex than OSP Expert, Stiga allround, etc. OSP Expert 5.42mm thickness (flexes with a big pop)7.6 speed 9.2 control 3.4 stiffness 89.2g weight (feels lighter due to neutral balance) 160 x 151 (longer than average head) ALL+ but can really blast it off a powerful stroke. About $120 with shipping. Forum suggested rubbers by guys with a lot of expert experience tg3neo/sharkII Stiga Allround Classic: limba - ayous - ayous - ayous - limba 6.7 speed 9.0 control 3.3 stiffness 8.8 rating One of the blades EMRatThich has mentioned. 80-90 grams. I have noticed Stiga blades vary quite a bit in weight. If I buy one I will request a specific weight. About $40 plus shipping. Yinhe W6 $30- 8.9 rating 4.1 stiffness 7.9 speed 8.8 control 90 gramsHere is a note from the yinhe facebook pade-YinHe W-6, 5ply wood OFF- "Yasaka Gatien Extra Alike" [RPB King] - Rm130 (pen/shake available) It is a 5 ply blade, that's supposed to be a clone of the YASAKA Gatien Extra blade. It uses similar outer plies to the T series. The Handle on all the Yinhe Blades feels very similar to the handles on Butterfly blades, with the dimension nearly the same. It feels more like a blade double the price. It is rated by the Manufacturer as an Offensive. - Fitted play: medium fast attack, loop Plies: 5 plies wood He has 30,000 followers on youtube.

Slapping someone in public is highly offensive be it anywhere in the world including Asia.

[@Anonymous-sx5tc]
