I currently live in China, and started training with a coach that's prob one of the best in the whole province I live in. He's not that much into TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN! He tends to lean more into understating first then apply what you understood in effective training and matches.

He sent me a few articles and emphasized on how important they are. I tried google translation lol but the article wasn't clear enough for me even I could sense the general meaning.

Here is one of the articles that he sent me, I'm not sure if anyone is willing to give us the pullet points or the summary of the article, but I thought to share it anyways.

I could share the rest later.

Good look google translating :)

Great article.

Indeed there are many great ariticles that are shared in the public forum/space.
Reading anything, will always expand your knowledge, so it is great if it is table tennis related.

Which province are you in, if I may ask?

An attempted translation ( a rather rough summary with additional explanation) based on google translate of this article:

Quote http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MjM5MDYwMTk0MA==&mid=202671460&idx=1&sn=c1ee6eed6a95e81432eae843b9587386&scene=1&from=singlemessage&isappinstalled=0#rd

HeadlineLooping - The importance of solid fundamentals and a good ball feeling / coordination

First blue boxMany amateur players discuss topspin loop theory quite often and practise it for years but never really master it. The following article tries to provide simple tips to overcome this obstacle.

Green box with bold corners: The 3 most common mistakes:

  1. Hand (wrist) action faster than the rest of the body or only wrist movement while the body doesn't move. This leads to an uncoordinated movement where only the wrist power is applied and any additional movement has no effect.
  2. Hand and body (primary the rest of your arm) are syncronized ("wrist locked"), which means that your hand or wrist just extends your arm reach and isn't able to provide any additional power.
  3. Hand gets pulled by the arm movement but doesn't snap("bite") forward at ball contact. If you are able to apply this snap at ball contact you have achieved the highest loop technique level.
First green box: Textbook (standard) technique and coordination

A textbook technique is important, even if there is no single universal technique. However, every ball is different and you need to be able to adjust your technique to the incoming ball (he speaks of coordination) since your main goal is to get the ball onto the other table side. Hence you can rephrase "standard technique" to "the ability to constantly adapt to new situations" or coordinated movement.

Second green box:  Mental demands

Beside physical demands, table tennis is also a mental game. Hence pay attention to not only practise your technique but also your ball feeling (variation) and your ability to read the game.

Third green box: How to gain a (personal) maximum of ball feeling and power

You need to be able to apply your coordinated power at the moment of ball contact. The key to achieve this doesn't lie in weight training or a standard technique but a coordinated movement, where all your partial forces add up instead of cancelling themself out.

In order to "eat/bite" the ball ( grab it in the best possible way ) equipment plays an important role.
Beside a solid topsheet grip, a rather soft rubber is important to experience the best feeling. A flexible 5ply all wood blade maximizes this feeling experience. Most players make the mistake of chosing to fast equipment with hard 7ply blades and hard sponges and then lack to ability to activate this power reserves and hence get powerless shots.

Fourth green box: [Nothing substancial, just focus on driving the ball forward.]

Fifth green box: The long journey to an optimal loop

Very few people are able to master a new technique over night and unfortunately, there aren't real shortcuts to accelerate your learning process so it will take time.

Beside the technique for a stroke, you need to master it's variations and the "when and how" to apply it during a match.

Every person is usually gifted with a knowledge lead in one of the subsections (technique,feeling,tactics). It's important to constantly trying to improve in all 3 section to experience the feeling of a perfect technique at one day.
