Kanak Jha Talks Playing Timo Boll, Lin Yun Ju and Tactics Against Lefties

[@marcoborrillo8097]

Excellent video and thank you for this contribution to our sport. I like Kanak's intellectual approach to the sport. Great analysis on the variety that Timo brings to the table, and it is true that you don't necessarily realize it just from watching. Another thing about Timo I've noticed is that he is very good in clutch moments. I think this is because the majority of his game is quite "safe" so it holds up under pressure. Looking forward to more videos from you Mr. Pech!

What a humble down to earth kid. I'm a fan now!

[@PechPongTT]

Yeah he’s awesome

[@bennisimpson4738]

This is just amazing. This QUALITY of content. I love it.

[@PechPongTT]

Thank you! Glad your enjoying it 👍

[@isxp]

This was incredible; what an awesome surprise for a Saturday! Really greatful for Kanak's thoughtful answers and his time. A well conducted interview, insightful questions and relaxed atmosphere. I hope to see more; possible podcast host in the future!

[@PechPongTT]

thank you glad you enjoyed it, yes I too was very grateful for his time and his thoughts on the topic.

[@table_tennis_fever]

excellent idea to be interviewing pros on the technicals !! well done seth! hope u get more famous TT players to interview soon!

[@PechPongTT]

Thank you! Yeah it would be very cool to hear from others!!

[@jeloneq7]

I really enjoy this channel. Aesthetic of it and everything. I am forwarding these videos to all my mates that are playing TT and know English(not that many of them, but still ;-] ). I even go as far as turning of adblock if I like the video. I am also fan of Khanak since I saw that match of him against Timo Boll. Later I checked out Adams Bobrow video with him and now I am cheering for him every time I get the chance to watch the matches. Really cool guy, and so is the host.

[@PechPongTT]

Thank you for the compliments and the recommendations to your friends, Im glad you are enjoying the channel I will try my best to keep putting out the best content!

[@ramonbmovies]

Thank you! Kanak is awesome and my favorite U.S. player!

[@PechPongTT]

That’s awesome yes he is a player I love to watch and always root for 🙌

[@AndyK665]

Great interview and also a great summary/wrap at the end. You have the #1 TT channel out there, so keep up the good work!

[@PechPongTT]

Thank you very much! Glad you think so. I’ll try my best to keep it going :)

[@noidea5225]

Can't agree more!

[@voberle]

In my opinion, the most important advice here is variety. In the serve/receive game, it's especially important and probably a bit easier to do. You may have the nicest short push and it could be useless if the opponent has a great flick, while some "crappy" long floating balls may cause them much more trouble. Learning to do such varied shots is not so easy however. Might be a case for doing more "fooling around" type of matches, to grow the creativity :-) Super video, thanks a lot for doing it!

[@PechPongTT]

Yes that’s what I got from it to, I have since started experiencing a lot with medium long serves mixed in with my short and long, it has been great because it’s stopped the flip as well as given me a few soft loops that I can counter plus it’s added the awareness that my opponent now has to think about another thing. So great to talk with good players and just be open to trying new things 👍👍

[@kimpagorogon7817]

Great content Seth, your questions are on point and Kanak's inputs are very insightful. Such a humble player

[@PechPongTT]

Yes he is an amazing g player and very humble glad he decided to come on and share his knowledge

[@renatovella572]

Thank you for involving Kanak Jha and for conducting the interview so well. I really like his style of play and I like his style as a person even more. 👍😊

[@michaelferron3866]

Now this is quality content!!! Super informative, always great to hear seasoned pros telling about their performance and strategy, especially when they are as talented, humble and transparent as Kanak!

[@PechPongTT]

Thank you! Yes his thoughts about the game are definitely invaluable!! He’s also like you said very humble and transparent

[@zingsting9595]

This information is pure gold.

[@PechPongTT]

Yes anytime you can hear a good player talk there is so much you can take from it. As well as learning new things and coming back to watch it again only to find you can gather more information with your new knowledge!

[@Spacenow869]

That was good. Nice guy. Clear precise use of English. No umm and like and so. Loved it.

[@PechPongTT]

Thanks I’m working on it myself to be honest I say um a lot gals you liked it 👍

[@THESUPERRONALD]

Great video and great interview! I would love to see more. Compliments on how you rephrase some of his answers and that he confirms them. It shows that you are also a very knowledgeable player and good interviewer! Can't wait to see the next video!

[@PechPongTT]

Thanks for the compliments, I try my best to listen and learn. I’ll try to get more players to join In on different topics!

[@bronzong91]

Awesome! I just love this youtube channel. Its so wholesome and positive. It's interesting how Jha talks about the game and how he heat LYJ. I wonder if at 9-9 instead of LYJ trying to score off the bh flick with power if he had gone for slow and spinny Jha's blocking tactic would not have worked. Alsl very interesting to.listen to how he feels comfortable blocking and creating time pressue for his opponents. I want to try blocking tactics more so ill try his push to the middle tactic to make it difficult for my opp to score. Much to learn from this video. I hope you will interview more pros!

[@PechPongTT]

Yeah some good thoughts he had, I have to watch it a couple more times. I like that thought about Lin Yun ju maybe he should have flipped softer. I hope I get to interview some more pros as well!

[@masterspin7796]

Nice interview I like his honesty, I been paying more attention to his style the last 2 years and trying to copy some of his tactics, @63 Im trying to play a little smarter with less bravado...lol!

[@wilcoriankneebreaker7085]

This is crazy💪

[@PechPongTT]

Yeah so cool that this worked out!

[@riynn]

crazy good and something no other TT-channel currently offers

[@noidea5225]

Nice video! my sister is a lefty so I never had that many problems against lefties as I'm used to playing with a lefty.

[@PechPongTT]

That’s a huge help!

[@sashazxtt]

Great conversation! Maybe you could get Vladi to reflect on his career? 😀

[@PechPongTT]

Man that would be amazing! I would have to find someone who knows him well and have them reach out I think this would be the way to get in contact with him

[@sashazxtt]

@@PechPongTT Yeah, I think he could be reached via Tibhar. Maybe via the Paddle Palace connections? All I can offer is just a selfie with him :)

[@MM1992R]

We are waiting for more

[@PechPongTT]

More has come and more too come!

[@kdgr]

Nice video 🏓👍

[@vivekpadmanabhan9599]

Against lefties, at whatever level, let your instincts work. Do not try to reason out the spin which is counter to all right spins because this leaves us no time .

[@PechPongTT]

Good thoughts! 👍👍

[@adindacakraningrat5613]

Left hander here. Just curious of what you guys talk about behind our backs.

[@PechPongTT]

hahaha lots of things! we are gunning for you :)

[@cebukajp]

Hi Seth, veeery usefull advices. thx very much. But one thing came to mine mind while listening to it. Mb it could be a seperate video in the future. I would love to know your advices how to play against people from your own club. Bcs i use to attent a lot of tournaments and often with my friends and we have to play each other very often. And its comletly different play against people who knows you very well. Its often very hard for me. thx in advance

[@PechPongTT]

I Read a book about this it’s called winning ugly by Brad Gilbert and he made a good point as I was curious as well. Basically when you play people you know he encourages you to go down the rabbit hole of knowing what your opponent is doing because you have the repetitions to know what they will do. Problem is they know what you will do as well but since you know that they know now you can do something different and they will be confused. Like I said it’s a rabbit hole but you should go use the information better than your opponent.

[@zoltanzoltan303]

Make more with him :)

[@PechPongTT]

That would be fun! He’s got a lot of great insights

[@zoltanzoltan303]

@@PechPongTT i found of the WTT channel made by ITTF very high quality webinars! Chek them mandatory! Also is there a few TT documentum also mandatory escpecially the swedish and chinise and Tibor Klampár.

[@TheOldschool3r]

Can you do a video that goes over what balls to snap on/ control with good spin/ speed vs balls you should kill? Like obviously if the ball is floating even if it is low you should go for a powerful shot right? The videos you upload are very informative btw. 👍

[@PechPongTT]

Great thoughts I like that! I will try to incorporate those thoughts into a future video!

[@TheOldschool3r]
