I recently got a table for lockdown and i play with my dad. He always destroys me and I have recently found your channel and now I am only narrowly missing and occasionally winning! Thanks pongfinity

[@ultratryhard9986]

Me too, but I beat my dad a lot.

[@mbenn8168]

I used to play my son at TT when he was little, and let him win (not toooo obviously) - then over the years, it got even, and then I realised I wasn't letting him win anymore. He was becoming a really handy little sportsman, and I felt so very proud of him. Your dad will muck around griefing you, but trust me, he wants you to beat him - All we want from our kids is that they do and have everything better than we did! :0) It's how we earn our stars.

[@ultratryhard9986]

@@mbenn8168 wow I am a guy from middle school.

[@wesleyferguson140]

It used to be like that for me. But gone my dad won’t play me because, quote, “it’s crappy to play when all you do is get beaten by a guy 30 years younger than you”

[@mbenn8168]

@@ultratryhard9986 MIddle school? Is that teenager? That's about right. He ended up being a hockey superstar goalie, so it was all about the quick reactions. Anyway, don't let dad know, but secretly your dad is very impressed when his own son is actually better at something and loves you. Let him win once in a while though!

Challenge: Play table tennis with the bat in your mouth. Ibrahim Hamato has no arms and is one of the worlds best paralympians.

[@spongebob1849]

Would it even fit in their mouth? Even if it did, a paddle in your mouth would be very uncomfortable. That’s not easy

[@rafaelnadal4522]

Hit the ball at the highest point. It's important to hit the ball early. Because the new falls earlier. So u can attack easier with your forehand and don't have problems with no spin balls. Don't do long moves. U haven't that much than the attacker. Stand lower. U are big guy. Train your thighs. You are too slow. Train your speed(footwork).Train different movements like Sidesteps, side jump or crossstep. But there is also a mental thing. If u are defender, u must use every opportunity to attack. Don't do this fishing shots. Too easy for attacker.

I've been a defensive player for 16 years and I can tell you it takes a lot of time and work on the table as well as physical training to be solid. Kudos to you for taking this challenge, your chops are looking great and I can relate with many of the challenges you're experiencing 😅. I know there isn't much content around for defensive players so if you're interested I have some training videos as well as matches on my channel. Thanks for the great content!

[@drorbenuliel9280]

[@c_m_b_3110]

Great work! Are you going to incorporate the forehand chop into your game, or will you remain with a basic forehand return? I’m a learning defender trying to take it up as my main play style, so the forehand chop is something I try to improve a lot.

[@Roboyt17]

Forehand chop is an important and fun thing to do, but if you can you should definitely counter loop the ball, because the defensive style ( modern defender) defends until there is an opportunity to attack. You won't win a lot of games if you're just gonna defend the entire game

[@aberuth16]

[@babychicks0748]

2 mio subscribers!!! Congrats!!! What's your next video????🤔

[@feuerherztimo8113]

Well you have improved a lot but. Move your feet all the time and stay low to the ground this will imrove your concistensie. Do a larger movment when you defend start at the hight of your hat with the racket and end at the hight of your knees this will give you more power and the ball should land on the wight line. Try to chop with the normal rubber when you are over the table or when your oponent chopps. So Otto wont be able to hit the ball as hart and when he topspins you receve more quality so it is less difficult

[@zack-pi2gu]

you shouldnt move u wrist so much because it will create sidespin instead of backspin and move ur forearm lesser don't move ur upper arm much because it may be hard to control I am a pro chopper and I can give u advise
