The insights into corner coaching and long pips techniques are invaluable. Baldwin's gameplay is a masterclass in strategy! 🌟🏓

That's a really great video there, Craig. Mari did really well coming back from 2-0 down. Bet you were a bit tired after that long journey.

Coupled with food poisoning, it was a very tiring trip

I watch every single second of this match. I like it. I hope Craig will upload another video match like this. 🏓🏓👍👍

Thanks Craig, this was excellent and congratulations to Mari on her brilliant play! (I'm a table tennis player/coach in California)

[@simsey33]

Great video Craig, very insightful. And what a comeback from 0-2. It's clear she wouldn't have won that without you there. Very well done to you both!

[@adrienfuchs7489]

With good mental and tactical advice, those kinds of comebacks happened! This is what I love about ping. Thank you for the video! Mari has a great forehand top spin which she can make really spinny which is not often the case with long pips players. I found she won many points turning around it but lost too many in the first two games doing it not fast enough lacking space.

[@Blackain66]

Well at that level ofc she has to be able to attack well too, it would be too cheap to just force errors with the pips. That said the longpips disruptive play and killing the easy balls with the forehand like Manika Batra is very effective and very hard to play against even on the top level, so i pity that swedish girl who is playing very well but has an uphill battle against her.

[@duncanwraight]

craig I absolutely ****ing love this content. I'm a pips player myself (though more of a chopper) so I feel Mari's pain with the missed pips points etc but she's great to watch, so refreshing and interesting, especially in the young women's game loved your coaching, loved her mental attitude, love the formatting of the video etc. A++++++++ would view again

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

That’s cool, thanks Duncan. Glad you enjoyed it, I enjoyed putting it together. Completely agree with you on her mental side. She’s solid, 2-0 down and a number of match points down, still believed she could win.

[@Dr_Hitesh_NLP_Master_Trainer]

wonderful play and coaching

[@baldmi3603]

I found myself invested in rooting for Baldwin. Great video showing the coaching and her come back.

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

I know right, I found myself getting back into the match too 🙂

[@GeoGeo451]

Great game and great come back. Loved getting to hear some of the in corner coaching !!

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@GeoGeo451]

Do you take requests?? A video staring Mari demonstrating some techniques or tactics with the long pips would be great !!!

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

It’s possible. I’ll speak with her.

[@jeffvango6754]

Great video and great composure by hef when the pressure was on! However, I have to say, the way you clap looks quite funny :P

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

😂😂😂 I know right! It makes it loader, easier to be heard. It’s just a table tennis clap. I would definitely look insane if I used this in every day life!

[@markwaughman2842]

Very interesting video . Great win from 2-0 down . As pimple player myself it's given me a few shots to try .

[@peterwrighttt3371]

What a match - great turnaround and played so well in G3/4/5

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

Yeah, she showed great character in this match

[@MattCM89]

10/10 Mari's mental game!!

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

Agree! ✅

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

Cracking insight and thanks for sharing Craig... although when it comes to orthadox rubbers vs long pips, i'm always rooting for the side of the orthadox rubbers.... perhaps because it's hard work against very good exponents like Mari ... btw i agree with the comment on the serve ...it's definately illegal.

[@sambailey9949]

this is really good mate, she's using the pips well now, I'm using grass dress ox green too now its as good as any. It's very much a case of like you were coaching in the match....have to vary much more and keep mixing it up. Its great to see someone using the pips in this way, so much more on offer than chopping or blocking, have to keep the aggression and forward motion on all the shots to get anything out of them on these plastic balls. I started using them after watching Liu Song play at ormesby about 8 years ago, when used sparingly you can setup your forehand a lot etc, obviously need a strong forehand bias game too.

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

Absolutely, they are a weapon. You have to use them aggressively to when the opportunity arises. Liu Song, wow. That’s a name from the past, what a tricky player!

[@watson10132]

Craig, that was an amazing coaching and match. I have a question which been confusing me for long time: how to survive if the prize not high enough to cover players' cost(air ticket, hotel fees...)? What I know is the prize of table tennis is too little.

[@SanicoLei]

Thank you for the great video. I am really impressed, it was both insightful and entertaining. Could you tell me what kind of long pips Mari played?

Thank you. Yes, she uses Grass D-Tecs.

I've built a racket with cheap Chinese rubbers and blade, and I've been using it for a year. Is there a point to buy better racket, if I play only outside on a concrete table or would It be complete a waste of money?

If you’re just outside on a concrete table, I wouldn’t change, no.

[@patrickwachter5086]

I love her "playing style". I'm just surprised that the serve is legal, because the ball is not really thrown vertically.

[@TheTableTennisServiceGuy]

Thank you, she has a great style. Very effective. No issue with her serve at all, I don’t think she’s ever been warned about that in her career.

[@kenji2787]

I was hoping to see incredible intels on the opponents’ weakness or a complete strategy change instead of just “be more consistent and change a little but here and there”. That’s kinda automatic during play or at least on every player’s mind.

[@Hus951]

I understand what you're saying. In this situation, being steady and consistent was good advice. The Swedish player lacked power on the backhand side, so maintaining consistency was sufficient. Sometimes, consistency is key to winning, especially against weaker opponents. However, when facing stronger players, taking more risks and potentially being less consistent might be necessary to compete effectively. It just depends on the situation.
