I thought about that, but I feel the concepts presented are all interconnected. By keeping them together I hope to make it easier for people to get a better grasp of the whole picture.

As for hit-brush, focus on getting the ball across the table(hit) first and work on keeping it on the table(brush), as demonstrated by Li Sun in the another video. I will get that one translated some time later as it's long.

Could you explain how to generate a forward movement when using flexion of the hip?

Thank you!

Glad to be of help.

That's right. To do what Li Sun does below, you need a combination of hip flexion/extension, internal/external rotation and abbduction/adduction of the hip, in order to produce both forward and upward movement. To keep yourself upright, your knees and ankles move accordingly as well. Li Sun refers to the entire motion as hip flexion probably because it contributes the most due to its range of motion, as can be seen in the super slomo of ML's forehand loop.

He didn't say anything about changing racket angle during ball contact, or even during the stroke, though. I think he's saying to avoid pure brushing strokes especially with the new plastic ball. I mean you can have a stroke going through (mostly) the centre of the ball while brushing it at the same time, right? That should be what he's advocating.

My thought was that if the order to rotate forward the paddle at contact is sent before contact, execution is delayed and the result is a deeper sponge engagement followed by a better brush.

I thought Li Sun was saying to hit the first ball then spin the second, which doesn't seem to make sense. Then I watched the video and he actually said "hit 1st brush 2nd" in the same stroke.. He means you should first make sure a good contact going through the center of the ball (hit), and the brush is secondary.

In one of Zeio's subtitles, it looks like stomping is synonymous with pushing off with the right-foot, for a right-hander. (In English that is not the case, of course)


The exact word used is "蹬". According to my dictionary, it means "腿、腳向腳底方向用力", literally "leg or foot uses force in the direction of the bottom of the foot" in English.

Now, stamp means "to thrust the foot forcibly downward", when used intransitively or "to bring the foot down onto (an object or surface) forcibly", transitively. I didn't choose "stomp" because it carries a connotation of anger.

"蹬" is often used in combination with another character, such as "蹬伸"(to stamp and extend), "蹬轉"(to stamp and turn), "蹬腿"(to stamp the leg, also used for leg press), "蹬腳"(to stamp the foot) etc.

In some parts of China, "跺" is used instead of "蹬". The former carries a connotation of anger, not unlike stamp vs stomp.

Whatever term you prefer, the idea is to transfer the weight in sync with the forward swing of the stroke.

Last year in Deaflympics my game was completely broken, because I had no a coach to explain me these things posted in these videos. Old style with adding tons of spin on the ball just gone far away.
It is just not effective.
Today is more possible to receive back injury looking to play old style (with more spin) than some success in the matches.
Often you have no time to react well, especially with balls Nittaku Premium 40+.

I felt myself physical disturbed a lot.
With Nittaku SHA 40+ my game was two or three ideas better than with Premium 40+.
Also rest of the balls DHS/DONIC/STIGA/BUTTRFLY  I never had the troubles that I have with Premium 40+.
These balls also go faster than usual and they are also harder than rest on the market.

The coach here is right, overall you have no time already to play old stylle table tennis and the new/younger, professional oriented players - they must play completely limited in movements if they want to be successful.

I am afraid we will never see again the beautiful table tennis from Waldner's Era.

I started today pushing the ground with the right foot when doing right hand FHs,
and keeping shoulders more parallel with the hips, and it feels right, except:

Sometimes I am fast or lucky enough to get to the ball behind the table and
above net level (also I'm short, think Koki Niwa). Here I feel trunk rotation is
still better in terms of recovering for the next shot versus the only
alternative I can think of for increasing my power: move my right foot way
in the back, and transfer my weight from the back leg to the front leg.

Great stuff zeio, as ever.  Many thanks for your efforts.

I attended a training day run by Andrew Rushton a few weeks back and he spent a lot of time emphasizing this.  In the past, we were coached to use as much waist rotation as possible, and to move the right leg (for right handers) waaaay back on FH strokes to allow for maximum weight transfer.

These days, it's counter productive.  The ball comes back far more often and you need to be ready for that - big waist rotation and a perpendicular stance impacts too much on recovery times.  He advocated a more neutral stance at all times on both wings and minimal use of the waist.  

He spent a fair time on bat position in the neutral stance as well to help with fast, close-in counters.

It's hard to break out of habits built up over decades of play...


Thanks, Andy.

Waist rotation has been a problematic term for a long time, if folks will check out the table below.

Cervical = Neck, Thoracic = Chest, Lumbar = Waist


The lumbar spine has the least range of motion. Upper body rotation is largely completed by the thoracic spine and hips. That's why I've always used trunk/torso rotation instead when writing on forums and subbing videos, such as this one, even if they actually meant waist rotation.

Still, trunk rotation is de-emphasized nowadays for reasons as you stated.


Wow....very informative indeed... I tried some shadow stroke practice with the suggestions and it seems to work better! Will try it on a real table next... Basically the shoulders should always be in line with the hips right to prevent any torsion at the lower back. It does make a lot of sense

Thx zeio. Succinct and clear.

Also, watching the video I missed the downward and then upward movement with the foot/knee/leg, as opposed to playing in a crouched stance and merely rotating each time. (That's a great deal of head movement).

The stamp means "to push off the foot." Think of walking up the stairs.

Flexion is just the anatomical term for "bend." Elbow flexion is basically forearm snap, for instance.

However, the coach's words do not seem to match the actions of the demo player he is praising.

Coach says...

"All you have to do is flex the hip with the body facing the ball."

"Waist rotation this substantial is a big no-no." [This instruction seems okay, since it implies small waist movement. However...]

"The waist should stay put."

"The waist should remain still."

But, when I watch the demo player, his waist is clearly moving with his hips and his waist is definitely not facing the table. Sure it is less rotation than rotating at a 90 degree angle. 

As stated in the other thread, what is perhaps meant is less waist/hip rotation, which is fine, but the coach's explanation is completely misleading to me, at least in English.

Maybe it's a translation/language issue.

When I look-up hip flexion, I get this definition:
"<span style="color: rgb34, 34, 34; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The word </span><b style="color: rgb34, 34, 34; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">flexion<span style="color: rgb34, 34, 34; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> actually means to decrease the angle between two bones at joint. "</span>

So what the heck is meant by hip-flexion in the first place, in a table tennis forehand swing context???? 


To clarify what Li Sun meant:



In his demonstration above, he flexed his hip and knee to "turn" his trunk and bring his weight down for the backswing. Notice the angle between his trunk and thigh decreased. See the image below.

He then extended his hip and knee for the forward swing. Also, there's some internal/external rotation and abduction/adduction of the right/left hip. It's hard to see so you have to experience it yourself.





He also stressed that one should not overextend the hip(hip hyperextension) when doing it.
