    Um… that was great! I have a question: I play fast and I loop more than smash in a game situation. Should I get a heavy or light bat? A thin or thick rubber? Should I get a spinny rubber, anti-spin or control? Any other tips for my style?

    Table Tennis is one of the most complicated of sports,requiring the SUPPLENESS & FLEXIBILITY of a Gymnast, the SPEED of a SPRINTER, the POWER of a BOXER,the STAMINA of a MARATHONER,and a TACTICAL MIND of a GRAND MASTER.All these attributes can be observed in the game of the World’s Table Tennis Greatest Players.

    Table Tennis requires SKILLS,STAMINA, SUPPLENESS, SHREWDNESS, SUBTLETY, BALL CONTROL,FAST REFLEXES,NERVES OF STEEL,DILIGENCE, DEXTERITY, SNAP DECISION MAKING & TOTAL DISCIPLINE.

    glad it did…im struggling with the backhand flick right now and pendulum/reverse pendulum serves. hope to have those down soon. my forehand flick has been amazing and opponents better than me are surprised I can make that mini smash…another weapon in my arsenal :)

    If you hold the racquet in your right hand, try holding it so that the black or red side is facing the roof at a slanted angle (using 45 degree angle) This means that the racquet is open for returning a backspin serve or flicking a backspin serve. If there was side spin, top spin or no spin on the ball, the slanted angle on the racquet can be closed so that the racquet’s black or red side is facing the opponent (the opponent can see the face of the racquet). makes sense? :)

    What do you mean by “open your bat up”? I didn’t quite get the difference when demonstrated…

    I would love to see a video on this as well, as I have the same problem when using a penhold grip trying to do this type of shot.

    I’m not sure I totally understand what you just tried to describe; will try tomorrow to see. Great videos!
