Incredible video! It's wild how many videos there are out there on looping but hardly any on pushing. Your analysis was super informative and found things that I can apply to improve my own game.

These videos are so good!! I love when you show something that is done wrong and then compare to how it's done correctly. Too often in educational videos, there is just an emphasis on showing how something is done correctly, but showing when something is done incorrectly is helpful too for identifying errors and making improvements.

I had this exact same problem where I was pushing balls too much. Many of the pushes he did where prime loop candidates and I think he would benefit on putting it in his mind if its past the 1/3 of the table from the net just loop it. Even if you miss just loop it so he starts getting the idea of attacking instead of pushing and putting himself on defense. I did this and went from 1300 to 1500 in a couple of months

Wow thanks Looee!! I will start working on this today :) and submit again as soon as I fix those things. Its great to have a clear path to follow in trainig.. thaanks!

The blade its Argentinian, but I think I will try to change it cuz its too heavy (9 layers of wood). Im also going to change the rubbers, probably to some european ones (was considering some Xiom Vega or something like that, I can test m2, razka 9 and pf4 from my training partners) but also cuz here we have high levels of humidity and there are days when its imposible to play

Great analysis! Thanks 🙏🏻 please do more

Greetings.
Nice video with some nice notions. I can see that you try to point the mistakes to the most critical points, not talking much about footwork, which is missing " a bit ", but i understand why.
I will try to add something to the analyses, not about something specifically that the video autor did, but for all the followers who are trying to improve their table-tennis.

Some tips for people with problems with receiving serves:
- For counter the effects, try to play the racket angle as a mirror of your opponent. (hard to explain better)
- For chopping/pushing correctly, get the ball at the earliest bounce. Get your body closer to the ball for better control. The action comes mostly from the elbow. For short receives, try to get the ball close to the handle(lower part = spin/upper part= no spin) It works for serves too! To long receives, get the ball far from the handle. This techniques is where most of the players fail .
- If an opponent service comes off of the table, always try to attack it (topspin preferencial)


Hope it helps
Best wishes!

Excellent review...thanks for sharing.

That blade is made in Argentina that is why you never heard of that brand

[MrRandomguy]

I’m loving the analysis. I wrote something on the choice of blades (something upload you did 5 months ago the ago- one of those choices) maybe you can answer my choice of blade and rubber question? Thanks.

If I push a heavy backspin ball with heavy backspin, it tends to go out of the table. Why does it happen and how can I fix it?

[BrunoNeureiter]

5:55 that is not a real problem. Any part of the rubber should impart the same amount of spin. The problem and solution is timing. Hit it earlier and it will automatically hit a lower spot. If the player starts thinking of the opponent's spin, the timing, the point on the rubber, foot placement, etc it's game over. The place on the rubber imo is not a problem (in the push) because the blade can rotate depending on your reach. Timing and angle are key
Edit
I saw your next point. Pro players don't push with the wrist. You impart much more spin if you get close and just move forward
