TT Hacks I Used To Get To The Championship!

[@samarthagarwal7529]

Hello from a fellow GA table tennis player (I'm in the background if you look hard enough). Nice to find your channel! You're as much a joy to see both in person and on KZbin. I can relate to the rating panic lmao. Keep up the good work!

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Thanks so much for stopping by and engaging with the channel! Really appreciate it and looking forward to catching you at the next tournament! 🏓

I have played Dale before. it’s crazy how higher level players look like they’re playing so casually but they’re so consistent and always place the ball very well. And i love what you said at 33:23 i will keep this in mind for when i get to a high level 😂

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Dude I know Dale looks like he's just chilling and then the shot hits the table so spinny 😂 I was shook by his underspin serve lol And yes dude I'm glad because I get you with that all the time. You gotta try hard!

[@ComplicatedButSimplified]

@@Nathan_BriTT isn't he hiding the serve motion with his non playing hand. Isn't that illegal and maybe the reason you missed reading his serve?

[@Splatersby]

The camera angle switch for the lefty 🤩

As I am getting ready for church this morning getting ready to praise our Lord Jesus Christ.I felt like I was at the church of Table Tennis and this message was right time. Lol. Thanks for different approach on your Table Tennis channels. Keep preaching that same message.

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Thanks so much for tuning in! God bless 😁

[@StevesDataStore]

Thanks Nathan, very helpfull mental match analysis. Your open and honest viewpoint is refreshing. I enjoyed watching you playing Kai, with some more work on your short game and tactics, I'm sure with your physical attributes you could eventually reach his level.

[@yardmanvibes3559]

Great teaching video...I will definitely begin to use these lessons.

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Thanks so much for tuning in! Let me know if anything works for you (:

[@masterflamewing234]

I’ve found that u1500 you can win just by strong pushes and a slow spinny ball. Usually those matches those players only push, inconsistent forehands, almost non existent loops. With 1500-1700. Short serves into a big third ball or fifth spinny ball into their backhand has worked for me as their forehand is pretty developed but their backhand isn’t as consistent.

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Yeah this is facts! Nice

[@KANA-rd8bz]

i found this thoughts very useful , thank you

[@ZenGeiger]

Dang, I see you! You've gotten so much better. When you played Emmanuel you went for good shots

[@Nathan_BriTT]

[@mitchconroy3370]

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Three weekends in a row is way too much I'm still tired from Saturday 😂 Thanks for the support!

Nick's smash return at 14.25 !! :D

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Dude I know! He's a legend for that shot it was awesome

[@kaizhangtabletennis]

When I clicked on this video, I didn't think I was going to stay for the whole thing! Very solid advice! My goal is also to reach 2000! Subbed!

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Just subscribed, really like your vibe. I picked the game up 15 months ago after a 50 year layoff. Retired golf pro. Have the good fortune of working with Daniel Gorak from time to time. Started at 1100, got to 1345 and fell off back to the low 1200s. Curious about your event in August where you took a hit. From 1840 to 1710. How did you resurrect your game? Also your Charlotte event in 2021 where you gained a bunch. How did you assimilate and keep moving forward? I made a big move a couple of months ago, winning against a 1700+ and some high ranked players but fall prey to the experience you're talking about, trying to force big shots instead of. being patient against lower ranked players. Have Florida Senior games coming up and have a good opportunity to place in the 70-74 group. I realize this is a lot of bio, but I'm seeking the equilibrium required to perform at optimal mindset. Golf gives you minutes between shots, Table Tennis requires immediate reset. If you see this and have a chance to respond, in 25 words or less, what did you do after your August event that strengthened your resolve? Thanks again for the content, it's excellent.

[@Nathan_BriTT]

I promise I'm responding to this soon! At a tournament this weekend I want to make sure I respond fully.

[@47Holly]

Thank you@@Nathan_BriTT

[@Nathan_BriTT]

August was tough for me, that tournament really hit me hard. In 25 words I'd probably say: "I lost 130 points because I was so worried about my rating that I couldn't play my game." I threw 2 matches to 1600-level players and one to a 1700 because I had decided that this was gonna be THE tournament where I went up because I had trained a little for it. My biggest mistake. Most importantly coming back from that, I realized that I can't ever take any opponent for granted, and I can't assume my confidence will be constant. You have to work for your confidence in each point, and build it up in real time against each individual opponent in each individual moment. Confidence before the tournament is really just arrogance, and I didn't know that yet at the time. Huge learning moment for me but it was really hard emotionally.

[@47Holly]

@@Nathan_BriTT Thank you very much for the response, Nathan. That really resonates. You've identified a truth I learned in golf, basically the need to enter each event with a quiet, humble spirit and do the best you can on each shot. There is value in all opponents and we do ourselves no favor underestimating anyone. I need to get to that space in table tennis. At 70 years old there is a tendency to hurry the process but I'm seeing that the process needs full attention and respect. Let the destination take care of itself.Keep up the learning. You communicate very effectively and are adding value at a high level. Thank you.

[@Nathan_BriTT]

@@47Holly Sounds like you're already on your way to being great in this sport too. Really happy to hear that my journey is helping you with yours, that's exactly why I started the channel and comments like this really motivate me to keep going. Please let me know how your 70+ event goes, I'm rooting for you!

WIll use this advice for my tournament tomorrow.

Good luck and have fun! Please comment and let me know if anything helped you out! 🙏🏻🏓

[@Rube7tube7]

@@Nathan_BriTT Went Nicely, I tried looking at the weaker side of my opponents, which worked great. Won a few matches even tho all but 1 of my opponents were higher rated, I know my forehand is nice and played a lot to the backhand of my opponents to get them back on my forehand (im left handed). I've been trying to get to 500 rating (Netherlands), which I got because of this torno so definetly helped me out! Thanks!🤗

Thank you sir🙏🏻💯

[@SlingingForALiving]

I find that having your rating in mind isn't helpful, just play your game, otherwise you tend not to play your game

[@Nathan_BriTT]

I'm glad that's working for you! 😎

[@sinkronize]

Nice video! Is that beginner level?

[@Nathan_BriTT]

Not sure I understand your question but thanks for stopping by the channel! 🏓😎

[@sinkronize]

Well, every competition should have restricted player rankings and i was wondering if that is the first level in your country

[@Nathan_BriTT]

@@sinkronize no all rating levels signed up for this event and we're placed into groupings based on performance in the first round. Round two pairs you with people who performed equally as you in round one. Everyone has their own unique rating governed by the national system

[@sinkronize]

Oh thanks for the explanations! Keep up the spirit yo!
