Forgot to say that you guys are awesome, great, the best etc.! Not just in teaching but also in promoting the sport! Big thx!

[pingskills]

It's all about the brushing action. Against backspin your stroke can be more vertical. Make a fine brushing contact and as it is a fine contact you can move your bat through quite fast.

You can also ask questions on our website under the ask the coach section. There we have a lot more room to answer your questions.

[pingskills]

Great questions. The best place for in depth conversations is on our website under the ask the coach section. There we are not limited by the length of the comment box. If you post a question about this there Alois will answer it for you.

The shoulder rotations are an important part of the stroke when you are trying to generate more power as to are the legs, the arm and even the wrist. All of this will help you get the bat moving through faster.

Great tips, especial the 90 degree forearm raised to 90 degrees relative to the body. Video clearly shows Jeff’s revolving body and lifting arm powering the ball.

[pingskills]

The topspin is an extension of the counterhit. You put more topspin on the ball which causes the ball to dip and allows you to hit the ball harder and still get it on the table.

[pingskills]

We recommend the PingSkills Rook as your first real table tennis bat. As you've already been using some decent bats, you could try the PingSkills Touch with Mark V. Take a look on our website for more information.

Cheers,
Jeff.

hi guys. loved this video. when are you going to upload the backhand topspin against block? just curious

[pingskills]

You know pingskills I love your channel anything about table tennis i need to know here is the place I come first rather going here and there thanks for all the videos keep it u👍👍👍👍

[pingskills]

Are you getting a good brushing action on the ball?

What sort of bat are you using? Can it generate plenty of spin?

[pingskills]

Correct. A loop is a shot with lots of topspin that causes the ball to dip. It is also refered to as a topspin stroke.

[reinterpret_cast]

What's the difference between the european style loop and chinese style loop? And which one is shown in the video?

[pingskills]

We have a video on that on our website.

Thanks, I've been told shoulder rotation movements are quite slow to recoil (compared to elbow rotation), are they promoted in this vid because the block is a rather slow ball ? I guess we wouldnt have time to make a full elbow swing against a more agressive couter ball, would we ?

1:52 nice advice... very important to teach this point

[saifmemon]

Thankyou Guys, You are really teaching me Table Tennis :)

[hawkfish]

A game of you two against each other would be great for the fans!

[pingskills]

Not necessarily starting at 90/90. This is the finish position. Some players like to start with the arm quite straight and others prefer it more bent. Find what feels comfortable for you.
