I feel that one way to do this is to simply make sure your feet are moving( in no specific direction , but just moving ), reactions are even quicker, because you are already in motion

Thanks again! I've been watching the ball more actively (until it hits my racket) and actually seeing and focussing on the ball contacting the rubber/racket improved my consistency alot :) plus somehow the ball goes faster with less effort. Maybe because the power is more focussed because you dont swing randomly. Again thanks alot!
@roadtopro30383 жыл бұрын
I am so glad that this could help you improve! I plan to explain each stage in more details! The power= swing speed + the direction of the force applied to the ball! And obviously when you can prepare and wait and explode at the exact timing, you can hit the ball efficiently!! :) thanks again!!

Thanks for the video! In an earlier training session you said ONE and TWO for contact point 1 and 3. I adopted it for my playing...like say (to yourself) ONE when the opponent hits the ball and TWO when you hit the ball. I also have my own mindset after ONE...like the ball is going down on my side... my body has to go down, too, for a good loop... and so on.

The period is determined by the ball’s bounce. Paddle->table->paddle->table and this cycle repeats and our body should react and move accordingly

Hi Daniel. I'm trying to train these things at the moment.. As you said in the video, the anticipation and indication (based on own previous shot, opponent's body and wrist movement) of the next shot ends before the opponent actually touches the ball. If have already done the anticipation/indication (ball will likely come to my backhand side for example), do I still need to wait (neutral position) until the opponent actually hit the ball before I can start preparing my counter shot (footwork to the ball, coiling down, swing etc)?? If yes , Wouldn't be too late? And for what the indication in this case? Do I have the time to still catch the ball without over rushing causing mistakes! On the other side, how can I move earlier without exactly knowing where the ball going.? Many thanks for your help
@roadtopro30383 жыл бұрын
Wow!! Great great questions! So there are two scenarios. One if it’s push, you can be in a neutral position because the ball is slow, you can still be able to get there on time and push back or loop. If it becomes topspin game, it’s little different. You actually want to make your backhand as default and just ready to play backhand then when you see forehand you prepare for forehand. So the ready position for random bh fh topspin game close to the table will be backhand swing ready position. This helps in two ways, one you don’t have to think about two options bh and fh you only think about when it will be forehand and react to it, if the ball comes to backhand as you are already ready, you can just play it. Two this is a bigger reason, bh contact is in front of the body and fh is on the side which means it’s little behind the bh contact which means you have a little more time to react. Because you play bh in front of the body, and bh becoming faster and faster, you can’t be neutral and play good backhand. I will make a short video about this! You apply this to random bh fh drill too.:)

Hey! Thanks for the video I hope your (I guess not so tiny but) precious human being is doing well! I rewatched the pause section about 5 times but I can't seem to drill it into my head. I get stressed and rush rush rush. Its killing my game... do you have any tips on how to train it? Maybe a way to exaggerate the pause to get a feeling for it (without having the ball fly past you).

Hey Coach, another great video I have watched of yours multiple times. I have a question around recovery and neutral position: It seems during matches [like your FZD clip in this video at 0:36] or during random ball training [like FZD clip in your video at 3:14], there is often these little jumps players do after every shot. it would be seem the little jumps would take extra time but would also be the safest....is that correct? but at the same time, if one could predict well, one could skip the little jump and just skip neutral position...which would be faster than adding the little jump...which seems what even the pros due during predictable rallies [like at 0:50 rally in your video, I dont really see her doing the little jumps] i hope the question makes sense. Thanks again...
@roadtopro30383 жыл бұрын
There are four kinds of steps, one with back swing, one with swing, one recovery and one split step. When there is no time you can do just 1,2nd and also you can do this way when you are doing a regular drill and movement is short. If you have little more time, I recommend to practice the recovery step which all the players try to do between rallies to get themselves ready for the next ball and this can be split step that prepares the next step or they could do more steps. It is a way of keeping body active to react faster.

I'm wondering what to do in order to aim the ball accurately, e.g. to the corners, if all the time until I make contact I am looking at the ball and not at the table on my opponent's side. Is there any way, e.g. squinting with one eye to the side to catch the contours of the table, or is it a matter of having the right feel and possibly running the risk of not hitting where I want?

Coach Daniel, Do you have any recommendations concerning which blade and rubber to use? I consider myself to be between high beginner and intermediate. I bought my first real racquet in Japan. It is a 5 ply TSP Swat. It has 1.9 mm Xiom Vega Intro on the forehand, and 1.9 mm TSP Ventus on the backhand. I didn't play at all in 2020. A few months back I changed the rubbers. It is the same set up, except I used max instead of 1.9 mm. I'm thinking to change to a set up that will last me at least a couple of years. Here is my idea: I'll use an Xiom Offensive S blade (7 ply all wood) with Vega Pro max on both sides. What do you think? I decided on Xiom for a few reasons: 1) I don't want to become an equipment junkie. Xiom seems to be a solid brand that offers good value; Butterfly prices seem crazy to me. 2) Besides price point, I'm also looking for durability; before I changed rubbers, the Xiom Vega was in much better condition than the TSP Ventus, and it seems that the folks using Tenergy change rubbers more often than they change socks. 3) In general, Xiom seems to be moving in interesting directions.
@roadtopro30383 жыл бұрын
I agree with the most of the things about Xiom rubbers and they are good rubber and affordable, duration will depends on how you play with it and how you take care if the rubber. Now for the combination of your tool, it seems like you are upgrading it to a little faster and bouncy blades than the previous one. This will depend what kind of style. But I like the new, 7ply + max rubbers better since the ball became larger and changed to plastics.
