thanks seth for the video
it's very helpful keep up the good work
Great move is pivot and than crossover… you should mention about this ๐
Very interesting tips and technique. You need a good physical condition to play like this.
I hope to add some of these strokes to my repertoire.
Thank you!!
Had just started working on my pivot footwork but these variations on the different speeds and hight balls has given me some real clarity. Thanks for the content and good luck with your training in japan !!!!
Awesome video (again)! Thanks a lot!
Olav (a player from Belgium who might have had a shot at becoming a pro if it weren't for some knee issues) did a video on the rhythm of table tennis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfAQFqVV2ZE
All the movements you have shown seem to nicely fit into the two-step-rhythm. Do you "follow" such a rhythm? What do you think of it?
Who is in the green T-shirt? Wang Chuqin is there? Time code 11:01.
Why did he take the racket in the right hand?
Great video! Foot movement is something I am lacking in my game and these tips are great to know. Brilliant editing. I will try to practice these in my drills.
Thanks!!! Awesome video!!! A friend of mine is also in Japan training with Kenta Matsudaira
Hello first of all Happy New year I wish you all the best for your projects and also thank you for all your videos which are very useful and very well made ๐
Since I started playing in a club for the first time last year, after years of randomly playing for fun on holidays especially with friends, your videos added to my regular trainings help me a lot as I started to play in competition this year. I still have a lot to learn as my forehand and my footwork aren't very good so this video is a very good opportunity for me to become better. I knew that footwork was a key point at table tennis but showing those different subtilities made me understand it more so thanks again ๐ Big up from Paris, FRANCE ๐ (I hope you'll understand my English lol)
Best table tennis coach out there ๐
Amazing video! This will be such a valuable resource for players!
Great as usual!
Which blade are you using now, not VS Unlimited anymore?
Great video Seth as always, keep on making videos.
This video boasts excellent content and impressive editing. I gained valuable insights from watching it. Grateful to you, Seth!
Foot Work is the be all of Table Tennis. Many Thanks for the Video lesson.
Great video and perfect timing. My goal in 2024 is to simply MOVE a lot more than I have in the past. I'm 70 and overweight but can still move if I'm not just being lazy. I have, in the past, taken on this challenge but eventually gone back to my old habits. I simply do not want to do that again. Thanks for posting this video today – perfect timing.
Thanks!
Excellent I really appreciate it!!! Thanks so much
This is the lesson I like to see. Great tips. I have been trying tรด do It. โค
That is a lot to think about! My problem is (always) 1. move quickly after serve…(so important) and 2. it is so hard to estimate were the push is going…even after a regular pendulum serve…many players destroy the game with their pimple rubbers or what ever…they send the ball wherever they like… . Will start to practice this tomorrow๐ To all beginners… move after serve!
This is super great for understanding the different situations and actually cleared me some aspects. I consider tho that understanding them mentally is as important as understanding the feeling with wich you execute them. Maby this info is helpful for somebody out there:
For the forehand shots you almost always need to really feel a push from the right leg.
– If the ball is in the middle, you first adjust your position to then have room for that right leg push feeling forward.
– If the ball goes to your forehand side, you first adjust your position for the opposite, get closer to the ball, and then go for that right leg push.
– If the ball goes short (high or low), you move forward, approaching first and then making the shot (low), or you wait for the right moment to go for it forward and hit at the same time with tha push feeling of the right leg.
– If the ball goes long you either make room for it or go for it (if possible I wouldnt wait too much on these or the ball will go too low).
So for me is everything about that push feeling and approaching or making room for the ball.
Tx for reading and hope it helped!
Japan, that's awesome! WRM Guest appearance when????
Amazing content as always!
Very useful! Thank you
Thanks for the great vid. Btw at 11:09 is that wang c. playing with right hand? I was confused about that
Exactly what I need Seth. Thank you for your hard work and your time. A table tennis friend in Vietnam. DH
How would the prepation footwork after serve would change if I do a tomahawk serve to my opponent forehand side (assuming we are both right handed)
Like all your videos, this oneโs worth downloading and watching over and over again. This is probably the finest footwork material on the internet!
Thanks
Thank you. Video is really good. Just a suggestion, maybe use slow motion examples. Playback speed can be reduced but then your voice over will be slow, too. Thank you. Only if possible or if itโs not much work for you.
As I said before: youโre the best! This was exactly what I was looking forโฆ but how can I remember all the different movements?
Cracking stuff Seth ….. may i ask …you've done the German Leauge D4 (and coaching) and well as coaching in Japan. … Where is this leading? What's you plan/goals for 2024?
Simply fantastic video….1 of the best videos ever…and I don't just mean by you. Plain simple language and perfect for beginners to advanced. Mahalo!
5:03 Haha, Adam Bobrow and his wit
Why to take an extra step out of the table, when you can just take 1 step out???
Thats so good, thanks ๐
Hi great video, can you also make a video on ๐ TT bat? Which bat to choose and how to choose? I am using just a bat which a bought from Amazon which is not an assembled bat. And are there also good non assembled bats? Which we can directly buy from Amazon or online? Thanks for your videos ๐
Highly crucial points to elevate your game by 3 levels
Great video as usual, you channel offers much detailed information and analisys that others dont. I have one question that troubled me, this may related to this video. I love fast phase rythm when playing, but having troubled with opponent's slow curvy low ball. The ball trajectory is just like hitting ball around the net, not that extreme though, its slower but curvy with alot lateral side spin, its long and sometimes short. This kind of ball really disturb my phase. And I have problem attacking with confidence since the ball's trajectory is curving. I often miss my flick on the table for short ball, and too much (or not enough) jump to the side for long ball. How to move to anticipate this, and what the best timming to hit this kind of ball? Thank you
WELCOME to Japan.
P.S. It would be GREAT if you put Japanese Subtitles as Available for young players not fluent.
very good video, just not subtitle in french :(( I have to look several times to understand but it is interesting to do it
๐๐๐
This tips are so helpful, your channel is literally elite Seth
This video is really really helpful. Thanks for your effort
