Finally I make my video. It is from Serbian national high school final 2007. I was 5 in men singles, and 3rd in men team. This video shows my first set of quarter finals in singles when I lose from Radonjic Vladimir who is in national junior team 3:2. Second match is battle for 3rd place in men team where my high school team won 2:0. I crushed my opponent who is nothing special. But he plays with Butterfly super anti, and he looks funny, but you wouldnt believe me when I say you guys that this guy with his funny TT style beat some very good junior players in Serbia. Please post your comments.
Here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LXT3SANR - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LXT3SANR
PS: My game is for about 30% better now than in this video. I updated my serves and BH loop alot, and I little cut my FH loop move because it was so long (Simply telled I work that every my TT movement look like Mizutani TT movement). Now I am in Top80 in Serbia for seniors. But I will work harder to reach Top24. Soon (in begining of November) I will play 2 qualification tournaments for top24 in Serbia.

What is the problem with the kid in the second part? I hate players like that who don't wait before serving. That's my biggest peeve while playing.
Your forehand loops look good, though it seems like you take longer windup than needed before each shot. Also the rest of your game needs to catch up with your looping. Try adding some short serves and vary their location. Hmm, I didn't mean to criticize your game, I just can't help giving tips to other players about improving their game. Your game is pretty good as it is.

Seriously. I think the second kid would probably be considered a good basement player; no form, no serve, and gives up on points he thinks he has lost. The first match was very good though. good job MOL.

Well well finally he did his best and post a real guy who play TT. But still we dont know for sure its really MOL yet. His opponent cant even take his first serve and the serbia junior play with pants? well the tournement must be kind of school level or something.
MOL I cant see anything that show us ur style like JM.
I have seen u comment about others who post their VID here and u said they suck. but what I can see ur not better urself, if its really u in THE MOL VID.
now.... funny VID.

Didn't look like there was much of a backhand there and the forearm was good when you were able to connect against a lower level player but the guy in the yellow shirt in the first match was a little more quick and seemed to handle the "PMOL" (pseudo master of loops). The lack of overall footwork and speed and the large stroke is not good for the game. When this person did connect it looked alright though.

Thanks guys! Second player plays with Butterfly super anti, and he looks funny, but you wouldnt believe me when I say you guys that this guy with his funny TT style beat some very good junior players in Serbia. You think right when you said that this was school championsip. You can see this in my first post of this topic. You are also right that my movement for FH loop is too long, and need very much speed in my footwork (words of my personal coach - my father), so I little cut my FH loop move because it was so long. I also imrove my game from video time. I also updated my serves (variations of short, long, underspin, .. and BH loop alot. Simply telled I work that every my TT movement look like Mizutani TT movement (this is hard task for me because I am 187cm tall, so my main problem is footwork because of my height and my long legs).

Date Posted: 09/25/2008 at 5:06pm
Don't blame the height for poor footwork, that can be a factor but can be easily corrected. Do speed drills and footwork drills and you'll get over that in no time. Look at how tall persson, oh, samsonov, liqin are and look at how fast they are. I am 186 cm tall and i can move pretty fast for my height. I'll get a video up here one of these days, i just need to bring that camera with and make one, i will do it. But it looks like a lot of good parts of your game are there, they just need work to be put more together in a complete form. And Mizutani plays a counter type style, i can see some resemblance in that but the overall motions you make don't resemble him much at all.

From that tournament you saw (last year) I 70%only play with 30% better guys than first guy is. I will ask my club friend to record my training on Sunday, because I want to see you guys that I improve my game, and that I copy alot of moves from Mizutani. But this is last chance for recording on Sunday, because I in Thursday move to Belgrade (Serbia capital city) where I will live for 5 years. Also I am happy because of this, because my TT game will improve alot in Belgrade. I will train TT in Red Star, and playing for my old local club STK Krusevac on weekend. I cant wait to chalenge Wiliam Henzel who is playing for Red Star. I know that he is alot better than me, but my game will improve alot if I train and play with such big TT star.

President of red star told me that William will play for red star, because he wants this. He wants that Red star pay him airplane thickets, and give him money for pro tours around Serbia. Red star agree with his wishes, so I think they sign a contract.

I represented south of my country on around Serbia tournaments, but not such World junior championship. I was 2nd ranked junior player for south Serbia for season 2007/2008, and 7 ranked senior also for south Serbia. But I am now only senior because of my age, so serbia national team with Karakaseic, Grujic, Pete, Jeftovic ..., are far from me. Last year there were about 10 juniors players which were better ranked then me in whole Serbia.

About the second kid: that's why you NEVER give people like that the ball unless you are fully ready. If they already have the ball you need to walk away from the table and return to it in a couple of seconds. Not to mention, that almost all of his serves were illegal - he barely tossed up the ball.
Now to you, Vasa: man, you gotta work on your backhand. In your first game (the one you lost) you played more or less OK from FH but your backhand was very unstable.
I hope your 30% were mostly on backhand side because you really need that.
And again, we understand that you are a teenager but you gotta pace yourself and stop imagining you are the king of the world. Get a better perspective - so far you sound like my 10-yr old son who when coming to his first tournament inquired of me whether they had any nice prizes there and what exactly will be his award. Then he proceeded to lose all 7 matches there...

Thanks JimT. I would remember these words. I improve my BH game alot, and if I post my new video of fresh mine TT skills, you will see that. But its not too strong as my FH, so I will keep improving my BH to reach my FH.

Finally.. a video from MOL. I hope it's really you! Honestly, I expected a lot from this video. And I must say that I am disappointed because you always bragged about yourself. What is your rating again? No offense but I think I can beat you because I played with players better that you. Also, I didn't see any Jun Mizutani style of play in your video. Lastly, I agree with them about your looks. Maybe that's why you know everything.
I hope you learn your lesson. Show respect to earn respect.

really, no offense.

telling him that you think he sucks and claim that "no offense"?

Don't blame the height for poor footwork, that can be a factor but can be easily corrected. Do speed drills and footwork drills and you'll get over that in no time. Look at how tall persson, oh, samsonov, liqin are and look at how fast they are. I am 186 cm tall and i can move pretty fast for my height. I'll get a video up here one of these days, i just need to bring that camera with and make one, i will do it. But it looks like a lot of good parts of your game are there, they just need work to be put more together in a complete form. And Mizutani plays a counter type style, i can see some resemblance in that but the overall motions you make don't resemble him much at all. |
I know I cant 100% to copy Mizutani, but I work and I will work alot to copy shots of him most I can.

Kreanga played with the Primorac Carbon blade for years. That does not mean he was copying Primorac.
Do not try to copy JM. Just get inspiration from him. Work your strokes at 80% of your maximum strenght and only sometimes when you feel really good go for it 100%. It takes time to find the style that fits the body/mind combo of yours. It takes time to discover yourself and do something right about it.
Let me say it again while your video is downloading: Relax; and only sometimes go for it 100%. Remember what happens when it works. Analyse what is wrong when it does not.
Don't copy anybody. Just get inspiration; food for thought to build your own game.
oh! video's downloaded...bye

All in all, I would say MOL, you are not a bad player, ou have a good forehand, it lacks power, but is fairly consistent. Your backhand is not weak, just inconsistent. You need more speed in your footwork.
But all in all, you are not a bad player.
However, you are not good enough to say what you have been saying about other people's games, you are no Jun, and you are certainly no Wang Liqin.
I am not trying to put you down, just trying to say that dude, keep it in perspective. And players in vids look as good as they really are,
If you say you can beat the guy in white, from the video posted by then you are good, still not great. I play Cpen, I could beat the guy in white. He needs way more footwork to play Cpen. or maybe he was just having a bad day. It happens you know.
Players have good days, and bad days, so you can't judge anyone by just one vid.
And if the illegal serving guy in tracks beat several good players, I must say the standard is pretty low, he had no footwork, high returns, and a very weak attack.
Bottom line, you are good, but please, show everyone respect, and I can promise you, you will get the same in return.
Peace.

its depends on what tactic and strategi the guy will use in game.
Both guy from the VID was good TT players and are better than MOL. MOL if u are rating so high in Serbia then u should know who Kristian Karlsson or anthony Tran both from Sweden? can u beat them too?

Just watched the video. In my honest opinion you have to work much harder on your backhand. It's weak. You can't block 2 balls or put your opponent under pressure with your backhand.
Forehand seems to be OK, but it can (and should) be developed: speed, placement and variety of spins.
I believe you want to improve and it would be great if you post another video in 6 months showing how much your game is improving.

EEEEE, sad me ubi ki s puskom. (Salim se). Hvala! Ali to je video od prosle godine kada je moj maksimum bio 8 pobeda i 16 poraza u drugoj ligi. Tokom ove 2008 godine sam dosta poradio na BH i celokupnoj igri (bolji servis, skratio sam put FH spina, kretanje, ...) i maksimum mi je bio 15 pobeda i 9 poraza u drugoj ligi. Sledeca sezona pocinje sledeceg vikenda, i ja se nadam da ce sve vise unapredjivati moju igru, iz godine u godinu!
Thanks! But this video is from last year when my maximum was 8 win and 16 lose matches in second Serbian league. During this 2008 year I work hard on my BH and whole game (better serves, I cut lenght of my FH loop, footwork, ...) and my maximum was 15 win and 9 lose matches in second Serbia league. Next season will start next weekend, so I will hope I will improv my game better and better from year to year!

Thanks! You are 100% right. But I already found my TT style (which my muscles and brain and whole body like most). Its a style with loops (70% of my strenght) with a lot of spin, and counter loops and blocks.

Your backhand only looks weak because half the time you're flatfooted. If you want to get that speed then you're going to have to hit the gym and get legs of a racehorse. Double your strength, lean out to around 10% bodyfat and your footwork issues will magically disappear.

I play in 2nd league for last 3 years. In Serbia there are Super league, first league, second league south, second league north, second league center, national league 1, 2, 3, 4, recreative players league, and veteran players league. So 11!
For 2008/2009 season some first serbian league clubs wanted that I play for them, but I get more money from my STK Krusevac club (2nd league), so I reject offer.

I will repeat this for the 10 time: Video that you saw is from last year (season 2006/2007) when I play nothing special. I am in top 50 senior players in Serbia for season 2007/2008, so you see from this that I improve my game alot. And for the next upcoming season we will see.

You are right about the differences and he didn't display those qualities well, his shot selection was poor due to a lack of a BH, service return was alright and you' can't tell me footwork here was anything less than inadequate. The aggressiveness wasn't bad but if you can't get to shots or set them up and just hope and rely that a ball will go to your FH isn't good. He may look good with the few decent shots he had but the lack of strategy is what sets a 1500 player aside from an 1800 player. If there was improvement from this video to the supposed next one he'll display then that would be great, i'm curious to see but this one clearly didn't display the level of skill he seems to think he has. The potential is there and hopefully he'll utilize it with some good coaching. By the way did your Matsush*ta get in? And did your order some new rubber?

he may not have displayed them well for a table tennis player but they were displayed well in relative to the 1500's. I think you see the standards of an 1800 player a bit too highly and have way too many qualifications for it. You can't judge his strategical analysis based off one game. one more convincing video of 1500's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxj_Ac5vHlU&feature=related

I don't view them too highly, but with what he gave us we have to formulate ideas based on what is there and what he displayed is not good. And if that is what he considered his good points, if i remember correctly he was trying to edit out the bad points, then he really isn't anything impressive. I'll put him at 1500+ with a max of 1590/1600. And i'm sorry for all the bragging he did and all the talking he did this was really lame to see this video of him, but i guess that's why he was doing the talking, just to get people thinking he was better than he is putting out to be. It's a pretty good strategy until the evidence comes out. If his next video is better then that'll be great but based on what is here, yeah not going to put him around 1800 and that is his fault

The difference of the player from 1500 and 2000 could be how to serve and handling serve. Some good players (kids) have very good form, but could not handle serves. Experience would take time to build up in order to master the game. With the person having 4 1/2 years experience, I don't think that he could master the game yet unless he is born to be genius.

I am sorry in I rate him to 1300, but he edit the VID only to proof he can play good TT. but If he just show us the whole VID then we can judge him better. MOL can fool a kid here and there but he just not good enought to said I cant beat this guy in the "white shirt"!.

You know, Superserv, thats a very good point you make there. All the other vids we have been watching so far of USATT 1400, 1500 or higher ranked players have been complete matches, so we are judging them on their good points, and on their bad shots as well. From that perspective, I think MOL shoul send in a full vid, of two or three matches against 2 or 3 diff players.
But I must admit, that I have been watching a lot of vids of 1500 players, and I think they don't really have a lot going for them.
