Hey, thank you so much for your videos. You are the best table tennis KZreadr ever. Please build on this and keep it up! Could you please explain in a systemic way how to return forehand natural side spin serves when they come on the forehand side and when they come on the backhand side? Also, non forehand natural side spin serves when they come on the forehand and when they come on the backhand side. With the (spin) explanations of why it is to be done this way for both scenarios. That would be the best and conclusive video on KZread about the matter. I watched all of them and not a single one does it in that systematic way! Looking forward!

I keep finding that when I force myself to sort of abide by rules for returning in terms of how I contact with regard to the spin and also where I stand, I only make it harder on myself. Its cool to see that it is less hard and fast conditional rules for returning than I had thought, and that maybe being more creative and doing what I feel is best in the moment is ideal. Unlike tennis, which I learned first, where most of the time you should do what the better plays do every time, as there is much more variety in pro TT as you just demonstrated

@PechPongTT

Yeah I think for every return there can be some structure to get the most out of the shot, and against the right person or the right time of the match a certain return may work well, it comes down to doing returns that don’t ruin other parts of your game and also optimize your results that usually stick, I think building a large bank of feelings and returns can come in handy but at first to have initial success finding simple returns that you can move in and out of seamlessly are the ones that should be used.

Dear Seth, great videos! Could you explain why sometimes during a pushing rally, especially when it start with sidespin serve, the ball flys out to the side of the table. I have no problem receiving the first one, but after a few chops it becomes confusing and before I notice it the side spin just take over. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. Some good take aways. 'A game of memory' I love that. It would be great to learn more about what can be done when you cannot read the spin. My sight is not great and cannot be corrected by glasses. I rely mainly on watching the point of contact as cannot see the logo on the ball particularly when rotating fast. The only other cues I use are; habits of the server, ie. what do they like to do most. The trajectory of the ball. Also, I find If the server does a high toss it tends to be top spin or week under spin at best (for club level players). So currently I use the above as ways to take an educated guess. I know there is not a silver bullet for this, but wonder if there are some techniques that could work for both under spin and side spin, ie. coming around the side of he ball? Would love to see a video dedicated to this topic. Not seen anything on KZread yet. Thanks again.

Hello! Those where really interesting methods to think about serve return in absence of sharp vision. I have experimented with reading the bounce of the ball very much I put a cardboard wall and a small slit at the bottom so the ball could be serves but the motion could be hidden behind the wall. I practiced watching the bounce to see if it hops like a bunny(topspin) or floats like an airplane(underspin) or somewhere in between sidespin or dead that was a nice practice that helped me a lot maybe I should put that in a video sometime

Great video as always! Especially the pictures you made are amazing.Thank you so much for providing these information. I think you have covered almost everything about receiving.There is still a concept about the spin really confused me. Whether the ball have stronger spin before the peak or after the peak? I have heard different answers which make me confused. Is there a difference between top spin and back spin? I really like the tactics part you have mentioned here and in your match analyzing videos. 👍👍👍Since videos talk about tactics out there on youtube aren’t really complete. Maybe you can make video about : 1.What you should do facing a new opponent?(How to try things out in the first set? How to set up your tactics after knowing your opponent’s weaknesses? etc) 2.What to do when facing attacker/ left hander/defensive player?

@PechPongTT

The spin on the ball will always decrease as time passes so I want to say after the peak on the fall has less spin, backspin will have substantially less because the spin is grabbing the table and trying to go the opposite direction, and topspin is the complete opposite. (Very good question). Also those are really, really good ideas to put into new videos thanks for the ideas I’ll make one about that in the future 👍👍

Hey, great video! Do I get it right, ...the opponent serves, you decided for a strategy before, for example 50/50, then you move a little to the right near the middle of the table, and return. So serve return is a strategy part of the game? That is cool news...or I misunderstood...because of my English? I think I saw it in games, like you want 90% forehand, you step left, you stand on the left foot, so even the ball comes to the deep forehand side, you can push yourself over... Maybe you can do a next video on that "covering the table" thing, with yourself demonstrating? Just an idea! I always thought that the movement always was a reaction to the serve ...like the best possible decision to answer the serve.

@PechPongTT

2 жыл бұрын

Hi! yes serve return is a big strategy part of the game! Most of the time top level players are looking to return a serve in a specific way based on what they think the opponent will do, however this does not mean if the opponent does something different that they are unprepared. They have the ability to adjust and make a good reaction return. For example if you are looking to flip their serve and they serve medium long to your forehand you see that and adjust quickly and loop. Your return strategy is constantly evolving due to your opponents attempts to gain advantage with their serve.

You can look at the flight of the ball, if it floats or acts like an airplane it has backspin if it hops like a bunny then it has topspin, but very important that you wait for the second bounce to see the flight if it has no spin then it will not fly like a plane or hop like a bunny but something in-between

Are there any other ways you could judge the spin amount of the the heavy back spin and dead serve ???

Maybe you could explain a bit more on returning service by following spin ( natural return ? compared with opposing the spin ? I sometimes seem to see the pros seemingly return a service with a racket face angle that would eat the spin and go off to the side but actually does not

@PechPongTT

Жыл бұрын

So if you go against the spin you need to angle the racket away from where the ball wants to shoot off to, if you go with the spin you don’t have to angle it away as much. It is possible to go with the spin slightly with the angle that goes against the spin many pros do this and this kind of return has a lot of potential to keep the ball short because the player doesn’t have to do either drastically the problem is that it doesn’t work against underspins because it kills the energy so well

@kenji2787

@rcarioca Try this exercise. Throw the ball up then slice your racket as the ball is falling down to make heavy spin in one direction. Notice the ball flies straight up. As the ball falls down, slice it again in the same direction as it falls down. Notice it is much easier to have the ball fly straight up again even with heavy spin. Now try the second slice in a different direction. Notice it is still possible if your slice is so strong that it overwrites the original spin, otherwise, the ball goes and to the direction of the spin. Also, notice if you don’t slice it, it’s just going to bounce off horribly to the side.

(your forehand naturally points to the left, if side spin came to forehand would the natural angle put the ball on the table or would it go flying off "unnatural"
