Buồn quá lò mò trên mạng kiếm được bài này của một ông Tây sống, làm việc và đánh bóng ở Hàn Quốc đăng trên web TableTennisDaily. Cái clip này tui cũng kết lâu lắm rồi nhưng không hiểu tiếng Hàn nên cũng chỉ đoán già, đoán non nội dung của nó. Nay có ông Tây này tóm tắt những điều quan trọng nên thấy nó hữu ích hơn. Tui dịch tiếng Anh không chuẩn lắm nên nếu anh Út (NTBB) dịch dùm thì tốt hơn nhiều.
1:43 - 2:30 Impact the ball center of the bat on loops and punches.
2:55 - Use of power on 70% power shots
Arm 60%
Body 30%
Wrist 10%
3:38 - When you have a hard time continuing to use body, firm up your grip at impact, or even way before it will keep you consistent
4:39 - Spectator asks for step by step breakdown of FH loop
Step 1 Catch the ball with your eyes and body
Step 2 Backswing (2 connected parts to backswing one bring bat back to belly two bring bat back to rear)
Step 3 Swing and recover
6:40 - Connect the two parts of the backswing fluidly (he demonstrates 7:05 to 7:12)
7:20 - Question : After your swing, how do you move down?
7:35 - Think back to when you learned the basic FH light topspin drive stroke and increase the spin. DO NOT overdo it at first. He demonstrates at 8:04 to 8:15. Then he adds power at 8:20
8:39 - He adds more back swing and shows it at 8:50 to 9:00
9:20 - Spectator asks something about how to loop
9:30 - KJH says it is tough to say this or that is the right answer, we all learned our lessons differently. However, this is the most important thing: Impact the ball on the center of the bat. No matter where you hit the ball on rise, top or on fall, hit the center of the bat always.
10:07 - There is no right answer, but hit the ball squarely, that is important. Hit the middle of the bat so the spin doesn't do crazy things to your shot. He repeats the importance of hitting the middle of the bat 20 times.
11:05 - BH loop (vs topspin or block) It is a temptation of amatures to go for the big powerloop rip in TT, but the pros mostly will not rip the first BH like that. They might setup a rip chance with a spinny well placed shot first... Somehow, amatures just got a burning desire to try crushing it on BH and that isn't gunna get it done consistently.
11:41 - OK, so here is how you develop a good BH attack. Start with the basic BH punch counter shot. Add to it from there. He does a series of punch shots and then shows how to add more power and spin to the shot.
11:54 - On the BH wing, the body is in the way, so you got less room than you do on FH, which is almost unlimited nothing in your way.
11:59 - Steps around FH to show this
12:07 - KJH demonstrates a turning drum motion a little in front of him starting drum in front of belly button, then moves the drum to belly, then upwards (no higher than chest) and forward in a rolling drum forward to demonstrate the kind of space you have to create for yourself and how to impact the ball.
12:38 Amatures make too many mistakes trying to impact the ball where it is (by not being in position or not letting it come to the zone)
13:06 KJH demonstrates the basic BH loop vs a block. bat comes from belly. When away from table, you bring backswing to side hip bone. When you are advanced, you backswing to side and behind side hip and rotate hips more.
13:40 - The true BH loop is done close to table with a shorter stroke. trying to use a sexy long stroke rip shot is asking for trouble close to the table. Not consistent with long stroke. No time anyway.
14:09 - BIG mistake for amatures to go for too much close to the table
14:28 - Stroke is same way. Use BH not so special. (to pressure opponent) Use the BH to make a spinny loop deep with placement and look to make a strong shot on next ball.
14:36 - He tries to suddenly go for a down the FH line shot. KJH says to be careful with that as the opponent can crossover and make a strong FH loop and you are now not in control. KJH says to keep opponent pinned down (and look for a better ball to attack strongly) instead of going for the FH line winner. (that will likely be seen and countered strongly)
15:04 - from mid to far away from table, you use a bigger backswing and more forearm than wrist. from close to table, you do not use wrist, but very little. it shouldn't feel like you are using any wrist (vs topspin or block) but you do you some as part of your stroke's whipping action. (KJH just prefers to not use a lot of wrist on his BH loops) You should feel that at impact, you are not using the wrist.
15:26 - Your BH loop close to the table does not require much wrist
15:40 KJH demonstrates a series of slow to medium loops using a lot of wrist. Then he says it is better to move weight forward and go to the ball hit with direct contact. That is safer. He says at close to the table exchanges, there isn't any time at all and you cannot prepare the wrist in this kind of exchange, so forget about it. Go direct. You can more quickly and safely employ a short stroke direct contact BH loop in this situation.
16:15 - Spectator asks about how to use a 20%-30% power FH loop how is angle different? KJH tells him yes, but you still gotta hit the center of the bat. You have to decide whether to use the same swing and bat angle or move up and change bat angle.
16:50 - It is better to not use a lifting motion (vs a blocked ball)
17:12 - How to BH loop vs underspin ball? KJH responds by saying you should be looking to step around FH loop those long underspin balls. The FH is dynamic, powerful and consistent. Seeking to BH loop an underspin is illogical. If the ball comes high enough to BH, then a BH kill shot is in order. Easy decision. When you have to BH loop, use depth, spin, and placement (to stop opponent from attacking) and look to strongly attack the next ball.
18:10 - KJH demonstrates some reduced speed spinny BH loops deep. He says if opponent is handling these balls well, then use more pace, sometimes a very flat BH hit. (18:30 - 18:50) However, pros don't do that. they do it like this... demonstrates from 19:00 - 19:15
19:30 - I can get rid of a lot of built up stress playing TT. more important to hit ball in center of bat.
19:50 - When you don't hit for power close to table, don't wait for the ball, take it off the bounce, but on power shots, wait for it more and let it rise high. KJH demonstrates at 20:00 how to "not wait" and take the ball early loop off bounce.
20:30 - if opponent does very well blocking your spinny deep opening loops, then give him a fast no spin ball next shot.
21:15 - Someone asks, "Do you overcome spin with impact, or do you hit ball on side?" KJH says it is not totally wrong to hit the ball on the side. (KJH obviously favors the direct hit) Then he says he favors hitting the ball directly. He says he uses spin and placement, but he prefers direct hit hard balls. Use the spin from the underspin ball and add to your power.
21:54 - I like to BH loop underspin balls early because the spin doesn't bite on my bat as much. I can pressure opponent.
22:05 - If you impact the underspin ball later, it bites on your bat more. If you want to BH sidespin loop the ball, your body is in the way and you need to be away from table to get in the backswing preparation you need. Hitting the ball more direct and closer to table is safer.
22:29 - You impact the ball earlier, because of opponent's spin.
22:35 - Think of a chopper giving you a heavy chop. Attack it early. The spin gets heavier the more it leaves the first bounce. Fast loop the chop while it is on the rise.
23:01 - very easy to learn how to loop an underspin ball off the bounce. do a lot of FH flick reps to learn angles.
23:18 - Practice like this to learn timing and angles. Feel the ball and impact. Learn the touch.
23:42 - Spin one ball up and fast loop the block. Your rhythm is the same for a fast loop. Use body to generate power on the fast loop.
24:15 KJH demonstrates how to use the body
24:23 - KJH says he impacts with his body a lot and that is important to him in his style.
24:35 - Lastly, the BH punch shot.
24:39 - Important to establish a zone from your belly and out. Get the elbow up and stable. Bat tip to the side (3 O'Clock) Move the forearm through the shot.
24:59 - Bring it all forward. You can use different impact point to send ball down Fh line (but that isn't easy and controllable)
25:19 - Use lower arm to make impact. He holds his free hand holding his shoulder to take it out of movement.
25:30 - This is BH defense.
25:36 - Opponent loops and you light punch it like this. Variation: Tighten grip at impact and go through ball. Variation: You can change direction. do NOT use crazy moving elbo position and arm, it is too hard. use rotation of waist to guide ball down the line.
26:00 - Demonstrates
27:00 - Variation: go forward and down at impact vs heavy topspin.
27:38 - Variation: Use body and bicep to add power to the punch.
28:07 - Variation: Block 2-3 balls softly to medium to establish a rhythm and suddenly impact through the next ball strong (to change up timing of opponent and mess him up.)
28:15 - Holds up bat and says to look at bat and see where the ball marks are at (center of bat)
28:25 - There is no "right" answer in TT... but you still gotta hit the center of the bat or you will have trouble. Do not let bat shake or move away at impact. Bat grip at impact must be firm. It should feel like you are clamping down on the bat grip at impact. (곽잡는느낌) (This is also a marketing phrase of a denture adhesive commercial famous in Korea) (insadol)
29: 25 - Do not try to wrap the arm around the ball at impact, just go through the ball and you are good to go. Make direct contact.
1:43 - 2:30 Impact the ball center of the bat on loops and punches.
2:55 - Use of power on 70% power shots
Arm 60%
Body 30%
Wrist 10%
