these lessons with her are the best. she has a way of explaining things that even i can understand.

As a coach, and a player for over 50 years...I can see that she has a strong knowledge of advanced play. One or two corrections, well explained... the difference between 1500 and 2000-2500 levels of consistency. Once you have the "relaxed" arm and supple wrist in line with the arm; then you will learn exactly when to tense the wrist for maximum spin at end; then add rotation and power "loading" from the legs and torso (another lesson or two); all while doing footwork exercises = 2,000 level player with practice at least 3-days a week.

This was soooo good and itβs great to see great coaches coach great coaches. What a great mentor!

Thanks for sharing. Great tuition simple and clear and easy to understand which is the sign of someone who really understands tabletennis

She said " You CANNOT tighten EVERYTHING" .... either stiffen shoulder OR stiffen upper-arm OR stiffen forearm OR stiffen wrist. and there is one more thing .... stiffen fingers .... BUT NOT ALL TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME. π So your motion should start with loose feet, knees, waist, core, chest, shoulder,upper/lower arms, wrist AND loose grip. You tighten feet, loosen feet, tighten knees, loosen knees, --> continue up the chain, UNTIL YOU TIGHTEN Wrist, Loosen Wrist ... Tighten FINGERS .... AS YOU MEET THE BALL ON THE RUBBER ... Loosen FINGERS as the ball is about to leave the rubber for that last millisecond of control and power .... π Have fun dude. π

great video! excited to practice this concept!

All the videos are wonderful. Do you have a video of her teaching how to push (forehand and backhand pushes) or return spinny serves? I'd greatly appreciate your posting.

I felt that first "woooooooooo" in my soul

Wow! Thank you so much! Now I go practice with a towel. I meant seriously, is a great idea π‘

She basically told him to use his arm more like a whip not a bat. Makes total sense.
