Table tennis ; weight transfer versus rotation in Table Tennis

Table Tennis...how to execute a correct weight transfer in counter or forehand topspin...see the difference between weight transfer and rotation around an axis (called also "fake transfer" by Chinese coaches

[@antoinenijhuis450]

But they are saying, get the power from the ground/hips right? How do we get the power from ground if we only start moving hips after contact with the ball?

Yeah for some reason does not make sense on my mind… did you figure something else that I haven’t yet?

[@Vladojica]

But it looks to me that with "rotation only" you will have quicker recovery time for the next shot than with the weight transfer. Does distance from the table makes any difference?

[@tabletennissecrets1191]

if "rotation only" helps you to win the point, then it does not matter. Otherwise, the good ons make a "micro weight transfer" to come back quicker for the next ball...

Great explanation. I've been doing a lot of fake transfer...

[@RobertoCostas]

Most people makes only the rotation when counterhiting. And so, they transfer the same movement to topspin, which is ineficcient.

Hit the ball first and twist right hip for transfer of weight to left foot? i mean the sequence of movement..
