I was thinking: are there simply drills that improve reaction times?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/leaning-back-going-up-when-i-loop/">Head Movement for Loop</a> - 12:06</h4> <p>Tim: I have always had a bit of a problem when I loop, with my head going up/back, more on my forehand. I know that it is bad but I really struggle to break the habit. As a result I miss the ball quite a bit, and I also think it costs me power. Any tips?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/moving-for-backhand-flick-early/">Moving Early for Return of Serve</a> - 18:20</h4> <p>Tam: Hi Alois, I notice against a lot of his opponents Koki Niwa moves to do a backflick from short forehand before the opponent has even contacted the ball, how does he know that the opponent won't play a fast topspin serve long to his forehand?</p> <h4>Links in this Episode</h4> <p><a href="http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf_full_story1.asp?ID=42246&amp;Competition_ID=2594&amp;">Test Event for Rio 2016 Olympic Games</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/training-secrets/physical-warm-up/">Physical Warm-up</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/anticipation/">Anticipation</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/multiball/introduction-to-multiball/">Introduction to Multiball</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/basic-stance/">Basic Stance</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YyvHIBa9C0">Koki Niwa vs Ma Long</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/backhand-sidespin-flick/">Backhand Sidespin Flick</a></p>
