My advice? Don't put music in TT videos
 I'd start off with stability: keeping your your head still and your feet firmly planted when you're executing a shot. You lean backwards when you do your backhand. I understand that this seems to provide more force, but it seriously destabalises your stance as well as your stroke. With your backhand, keep your elbow out and steady and use the forward motion of your wrist to provide the majority of the forward force and the abduction of the wrist for spin. Or you could adhere to the popular adage, 'it's like throwing a frisbee'. But to be honest the greatest benefit to you would be to do some footwork and stroke drills to ingrain some confidence and more consistent technique into you. |

I think L2Pivot covered everything I noticed. You do lean back when you're taking your back hand shots. I fall into this a lot some of the time due to poor footwork on my part.. I've been working with my bot that I own in my basement just working on my foot work.
Just be careful if you do start using the bot for something like this because a bot can teach you some bad habits so look out for those :)

Also your serves are varied but long all the time. You should mix it up with some half longs.

FH: Your elbow is lifting to high when you loop, in fact your elbow shouldnt be more than 10cm from you contact point with the ball, at the moment you are finnishing at head level.
I think you are starting your loop too low and causing your whole balance to go from bottom up than oppose to right to left. When completing your FH loop, try getting your first finger in line with your arm (so basically your risk is straight), at the moment you are almost at a 90 deg bent to the right. That extra risk moment can help your control and add more spin. Try a smaller action, and not follow through the blade to over your head hight, and brush forward over the ball Rely on your waist moment, brushing forward into the ball, and smaller - more accurate action. And practise the same stroke (so it looks the same every time) BH: Again your elbow is moving too much Brush forward into the ball than oppose to pushing the ball out at an angled bat. Try finishing the stroke at shoulder height Footwork: You are standing too up right. Lower your self to apply more weight and power in your movements. Your footwork is considered more important than your upper body, right now you are relying too much on the upper body Learn to move on your toes, almost like skipping. FH shot, body weight is from right to left and goes back to right for next shot BH rpb shot, you would need to follow the ball, at times either your left or right foot. Rather step foward towards the ball and not let your arm stretch to far forward. So this means you need to be moving a lot (similar to how China women players do they BH to BH rallies). Once your return to position improves, then you can also start playing FH shots on your BH side then oppose to BH to BH rallies, but as a penholder, you will need to make sure you are solid to get the ball back from middle of the table to your far back hand side with your BH. Serve: Your serve is too long, and the ones come offer the BH side of the table can easily be looped back to you with a better skilled opponent. Try play some short games, If you serve long often, the return might catch you on your far FH, giving you a disadvantage Practise landing the ball in both BH and FH side of the table. Deep and Short. Spin and no spin serves. Remember for both BH and FH, the bigger the stroke, the longer to get back into position. If you add body movement in, you should be able to do a smaller stroke and get the same or more spin, power into your entire shot and make it back into position a lot easier. Try watch some videos on Footworks, and how the Chinese team train during multiballs (you tube them). Watch their actions, and compare it to yours My 2 cents input, hope it helps, good luck |
