I can't believe how good and educational coach's videos are. And they're even free!

Thanks for your tips! :D I think the biggest problem for most of us is that we would love to learn chinese technique but every time we go to our local club and practice, our coach teaches us his technique, and coaches, most of the time, will tell you that you are doing weird movements.. So it´s hard to practice all of your tips some times... Thanks again and have a merry christmas! :D

Wow! You are too good in explaining the Chinese techniques, I thank U for all the time and efforts you put in to help us improve our game in Table Tennis.

I really love your channel it's so didactic and entertainment as well. Keep going! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for explaining Chinese Techniques. After following the technique in the video, i can say for sure my recovery time is better. Earlier I was always worried about spin in opponent topspin and what angle I should return the ball. But now mostly with same angle i can able to play most of the shots. Highly Appreciate.

good work on your videos.. keep up the great work !

Can't wait to try it out. This is the best coaching I have seen. Thnx a lot for sharing your coaching

Great video and tips, thank you!

Great video! I would like to offer a quick English tip: I have noticed in several of these videos that you pronounce the word low incorrectly. Even though it looks like it should rhyme with cow or plough, it actually rhymes with go and throw. I don't know why. English has a long history of changing based on historical events, so now has many "exceptions to the rules". Thank you for making these great videos! Now it is time for me to practice your tips :)

keep making these videos please! very informative :)

thanks for the information, coach.......LOVE IT!!!

I wish you a merry cristmash and thanks for sharing you knowledge.

thank you couch ur video is quite educative and helps.

thanks for showing a very effective technique my forehand loop is very unstoppable when I played with my classmates and merry christmas

Merry Christmas for you to EmRatThich! ^^ Excellent video, explain me a loot about my mistakes when i'm looping the ball.. Thank you! ^^

tanks for your very good videos!!!

Merci pour vos analyses tres instructivent 👍👍👍

Thanks a lot coach!!! 🙂

Gracias entrenador......un 10 capitán.

Thanks Coach :)

Super GREAT and cool video ;-)!

Hello EmRatThich I truly appreciate your videos and all the advices and tips you are giving. We needed someone like this on KZfaq. I would like to know how to loop kill the ball with European rubbers. As you said in the tensor video, you can't really loopkill with tenergy( i'm using both side) because the ball will go out due to a lack of spin that normally help to keep the ball on the table. In fact with tenergy when you hit powerfully there is less spin as you showed it with graphics in previous video. So considering that Chinese rubber in France aren't good quality and I keep playing with tenergy, Does the technique is the same to loop kill the ball with tenergy and with Chinese rubbers ??? And if not can you explain that technique? Thank you for your answer.

these videos are so good ! sub

Thanks coach

Thank you :-)

Cool video, is rly liked it! I also think i learned a lot and will try that out next training :3 keep going

Dear coach Emratthick, please make some video guides for penholders, especially for backhand technique. thanks

Sie sie Coach .. I'm use Yasaka Mark V AD 2.2 mm for both side with yu guan frame since you explain the power from the ground and this video my loop better now .

Merry Christmas!!!!!!

If you saw a few of these videos and you have had enough coaching before you 'd know the real value of these lessons. However, if you are a veteran player 35+ and played using your own adapted way correcting chops would be a very slow and painful, somtimes very expensive way to improve. Lets not forget TT is an athletic discipline!! The coach here does't know who you are! His info is wide for everybody(any level) to grab. I think it is wise to take what you can use in a game, unless you just like to practice and look pretty:) hey nothing wrong with that(looping away from the table 5-6-10 times is very impresive!!!) But if you 'd like to improve your game check out coaches tacktical and timing videos. Most importantly don't hurt yourseves! Warm up before each practice:)) and don't argue here and criticize unless you are a high level player which you are not!!!! You wouldn't be here right??:)

Awesome video like the others.I want to use hurricane 8 on my forehand what is the best blade that suits it.Have a great Christmas

Hello. Congratulations for your video. I understand the differents loop much better. I would like to ask you how you do if the ball is coming high? thanks for your attention and help Juan

Great Video thank You :) Can You make a Video About Some exercises on multi Ball or something (especially for footwork and of course improving technice )? Happy Christmas 🎄

just like this can you make a video on the forehand loop too

Thank you for your amazing videos, they're full of knowledge and coolness xD I Wish you a very very good Christmas with your family (stolen haha) ! Thank You -Gabriel

And in the examples of Ma Long, he is clearly folding his elbow on the follow through. So, perhaps, as I mentioned before, a further explanation of what the role of the elbow does during the swing would be great!

I play table tennis two years ago,and I want to learn more about table tennis very interested.

thx for the video and keep it up you are helping me or us a lot :) And I've got a question. I have the tendency to hit the ball really late and let it drop to low. That results that i loose power and consistency in my loops. Besides my error rate is much higher. However because of this i adjust my bodyposition so my body moves down so i can still hit it. The loop gets really spinny when i do this but i know that my technique suffers under this circumstance.

thanks man ;) what do u think about 729 super fx for penhold forehand for begginer?

hi coach emt you are doing a good job in your videos I am an offensive attacking player but somehow I cannot smash on backhand chops which is my weakness also I have a premade bat of mark v and I am thinking of upgrading to a custom bat I also think that I need more spin on my serves I was thinking of tenergy 80 on backhand but what forehand rubber and wood should I use I also have a short height thanks please reply it will really help me

Nice video

You improve on making videos good job , i was waiting all week to see the new video , i hope that you have a good holiday

9:45 to skip to the tutorial

More videos!

When you say -- Look at the player xyz it is sometimes helpful to point who which one of the players is the said player though usually it is the one closer to the camera but is not always the case.

Hello em rat thick! I really enjoyed this video and it would be great if you could make a video about the backhand topspin ! Thanks :)

Mantab mkasih smoga slalu sehat & semakin sukses 💪💪💪

Nice

sir i have one question.. my set up blade was pg7 for forehand i used tg3 neo for backhand donic bluefire m3. is this set up ok?

I bought dhs g888 rubber and dhs hurricane 2 rubber which one should I use for forehand and which one should I use for backhand?

Good Video, very well explained and i'm get a good idea to increase power and speed, but you show in your videos very old european technics. I'm teaching the kids use body and that's what in germany have to teach. However, there are scientific studies in europe , that the forarm, ellbow and wrist made 75% of the speed (they measured it). But i tried your way with a fixed ellbow and power and spin from the hip and i am totally convinced with your method. Feel better and more stable for me. Thanks for that and hope you show more from chinese technics.

Thank you so much! I wish you a a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year! I ashtrays enjoy your table tennis videos. I look forward to watching your video on backhand loops. Also, could you please teach us the technique on how to loop softly by brushing the ball and how to loop underspin? Thank you so much!

Another very good video, Coach. Question for you on my set up, and its application for using the Chinese hitting system you recommend. I have a Butterfly Viscaria blade, with Donic Barracuda rubber on both sides. I play a bit of an all round game, with an emphasis on attack, but I have no problem with a push or chop if needed Does this set up sound right to you? I will work on the weight shift you recommend as this is natural for me due to my experience in other sports. The advice to wait for the ball to get lower before hitting is good advice as I tend to rush. Can I ask you at the point of the video 15:43 is the coach instructing Xu Xin to use his wrist to hit the ball? That is a question I have, do you use the wrist when hitting your forehand or backhand (I can see this being more natural on the backhand, but have wondered on the forehand). Thank you!

Good day EmRatThich! I watched all your table tennis video and I improved significantly within just weeks of training. However, I just want to improve more my looping. How can I loop kill a very low top spin and under spin ball? Can I loop kill a slow off the table ball with no spin? Can I do that with this set up? Blade: Yinhe T10+ Balsa Carbon FH: H3neo BH: TG2neo Which should I use between the two for looping?

I want to improve more in defence.. Am just starter a year of experience

Hi! , i started playing for about a year ago and lately ive gotten into a tournament but, im vert nervous that i cant play like usual. do you have any tips for this kind of problem? thanks.

Also i was looking to buy a joola rhyzm p FH. will that be fine or no?

Thx for this video, you are making an amazing job, regards from Brazil

Should i Do wieght transfer in backhand stroke

Can you explain the technique for a backhand drive, block? My coach says I bend my wrist backwards to much

Sir,Can you tell me the racket angle in the forehand loop?

Is there a difference in the loop technique when using Chinese rubbers instead of European rubbers?

Great help. Thank you. I'd like to know how tight should I hold the racket and what fingers should I press the racket the most. :-)

Hey EmRatThich! :) I know that the style is not very common among pro players but would you consider giving tips for traditional chinese penholders/ japanese penholders like Ryu Seung Min or Kaii Yoshida? :)

What should be position of elbow in backhand and forehand

hi EmRatThich, i admire your videos very much. I want your suggestion on my alternate blade. I use DHS Hurricane H-WL with DHS hurricane 3 neo in forehand and 729 Battle 2 in backhand. this combination works just well for me. now i want a spare blade but H-WL is not available. Can you suggest me which blade matches with the characteristics of H-WL most? I am thinking of DHS PG13, Yinhe T-11+, PG7,PG9, GT9, YINHE T-10 etc. But dont know which is more similar to H-WL with speed, weight, hardness and feeling....Can you please help me in sort this out...??

what rubbers are best for looping?....pls answer

super

hello just wanted to ask, when looping the ball you should contact the ball at your side. But what about counter topspin ? When i see zhang jike, he contacts the ball a bit infront of his body. So should i when playing counter topspin contact the ball on my side too?

video on rpb please....

in this video you said we must stroke when the ball lower but previous video you said we must stroke when the ball at top. So which one is true

I recently discovered your channel and I love it. But I have one question about this video. You say that in order to loop strongly you have to get your racket as low as possible, but if I do not use chinese rubbers and for example use MXP, the ball will go up higher due to difference in throw angle so to compensate for that should't my hand be higher as well? Because other wise the ball will just go out of the table. Or there is something that I do not understand correctly?

Is there a difference between looping against backspin and topspin?

Do you think harimoto zlc would decent for looping?

What about backhand loop? Thank you.

I started playing again after a gap and noticed that my FH topspin and FH loop, both are going out of the table. While trying to analyze my strokes, I feel either there is more speed/force generated which is putting the ball off the table or cud be something which I may not be aware. If u cud give any guidance/tips, wud be helpful. Also my FH is quiet strong, any suggestions for good racket paddle and rubbers for FH & BH. Wud like to have good spin & control. Thanks.

I am senior and play at city club : most just want to have good times but no practice . Some will give advices , long talking ....., but the best is imitation : no talk / Practice ! I always try to remember and practice EmRat tips even the points are counting ...who cares for the points if there is no progress ...mentally i dont care for the points . Is that right Coach ?

hi coach! Can you suggest a setup for me. I live in pakistan and dont get genuine rubbers (according to me). I like to attack on the forehand when possible and chop during most of the rally but against topspin i use blocks more. and against a flawed chop i tend to attack. I am currently using yinhe n5 with sanwei taregt FH and rakza 7 soft BH Looking forward to your reply as i am in dire need of changing my setup.

What do you guys think of this setup: Blade=victas zx gear in FH=Hurricane neo 3 BH=Tenergy05 hard I'm trying to go for a hard rubber on soft blade

Hi EmRatThich, can you please make a video about how to hold your racket properly? I have a very forehand oriented grip. In fact, I grap the racket like I would shake a hand and then I rotate it (close the racket) for a good ~15 degrees I would guess. By that I have to always change the grip when switching from forehand to backhand but when I use a neutral grip, it feels like my racket is too wide open for a forehand loop and I am more pushing the ball. Maybe it is my technique and I am hitting the ball too high? I am tall (6feet 23) compared to chinese players, maybe this is the problem. Do you have any tips? And can you make a video how chinese players hold their rackets and whether they change grip or not? Whish you a merry xmas and keep the good job going!

how to choose the right blade for my rubber i really don't have much knowledge about buying the right equipment for me

Howdy coach. I am an amateur penholder and currently practicing my RPB. What is the best rubber to my playstyle and blade? I want to be an all around player with stable attack power, FH and BH, as well increase my blocking. Is this possible? So what is the best set up for me as I am aiming to be the best amatuer player. Thank you.

Hye emrathich,i use tibhar tacky power for my FH and i use 729 friendship sky wing for my backhand and my blade si 729 friendship super carbon. I cant spin my ball because the ball fly off my rubber too fast and i cant control the ball. By any chance, can you recommend me a good rubber for my fast blade? Thank you.

do u have tips with first ball kills i miss easy balls dont know why please help me!!!!!!!

wow man i remember watching ur early vids now you got a big channel wish for more and maybe try your own self(im talking about you) playing table tennis that way you can explain better. i think its time for some serve return isnt it.thank u very much man u help me out im 16 and im at a good level hoping too become a national player but school gets in the way.if u reply i have some questions abou hurricane 3 neo orange or blue sponge?

Hey Emrattich! I'm an offensive player who likes to execute a powerful topspin on backspin receive on the third ball, but I often bend my back backwards because it feels as if the ball is really heavy and the ball kind of pushes me away from my position. Therefore, my third ball forehand topspin attacks are extremely slow but extremely spinny, that's something I don't prefer to happen while it's easy for the opponent to counter attack it back without any exertion. How can I make my topspin go faster with ballanced spin? Thank you if you read this and if you can comment

Why do I have slight pain just above the elbow after playing forehand topspin?

I don't know how to do loop so please make a video that consantrate on the loop

I'm confused. Your videos mention we should be using harder tackier rubber even for the backhand but I see in your video comments 7:45 that you have suggested Rakza 7 (which is soft rubber) for someone. Can you please clarify?

You are awesome coach you made very nice video

I use the long pimples on my backhand, but use them mainly to set up my forehand attack. Can you pls tell me some drills to help improve my attack?

I am beginner in table tennis and I want to improve my counterhit can you help me

Who is your DADDY? lol xD

If you could clarify, please. To me, in the example starting at 12:51 the coach appears to be still rotating around his elbow on the follow through. Yes, he is making a weight transfer as he starts his swing, but he points at the inside of his elbow, and folds it on the way through. I guess I need clarification on what "rotating around the elbow " means. Also, does the coach start out his swing with a fairly open face angle (paddle is almost vertical at the start and at impact), and then he appears to close the angle as he follows through (by rotating his forearm). Is this accurate? Thanks.

hi emrat table tennis coach my name is danny i am 13 years old and i play in division 6 of my local league i am using butterfly bryse both FH and BF i like it on my BH but i dontl like it on my FH any good FH rubber suggests

hello coach my age is 18 and i have recently start playing table tennis many people are telling me it s pointless because i started at an old age . what do you think ? can you give me advice on how to improve fast ? thank you

Hi! I'm a beginner player. I used a very bad blade and rubbers, for 6 years. Lately I've been using Butterfly Allround with Flextra rubbers. It seems fine but i like looping game, I'm also in good shape so i can generate speed by hitting hard, however on the BH this is more difficult. After watching you'r videos, I'm thinking to change to Huricane 3 on the Fore Hand and Huricane 3 NEO on on the Back Hand, with Stiga Allround Classic. Do you think this setup is ok? Or do you have a better suggestion? Thanks! :)

Next time please put the tutorial at the start rather than making us wait 8 minutes as the tutorial is what we are coming for. Put the questions and answers in a whole new video or at the end. Thanks
