Summary: <h4>Last #PQOTD - 3:23</h4> <p>What is the best advice you have received in a match?</p> <h4>#PQOTD - 6:00</h4> <p>What is the strangest thing you have seen on a TT court?</p> <h4>Drill of the Week - 6:25</h4> <p>The Benefits of Random Drills</p> <h4>ITTF Star Awards - 9:59</h4> <p>We talk about the different categories in the ITTF Star Awards</p> <h4>Best Backhand - 14:00</h4> <p>Mike: Hi guys! :) In your opinion who has the best backhand in the game of table tennis in both Men's and Women's?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/callous-on-my-palm/">Palm Hurting</a> - 16:03</h4> <p>Ernest: Right now i'm using a flared handle. When i play too long, suddenly i have a callous on my palm. Do you think changing blade with another handle (e.g. anatomic/straight) will solve my callous problem? It really hurts.</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/edge-of-bat/">Edge Shots</a> - 18:41</h4> <p>Bryan: As I get better I am finding that more shots catch the edge of my bat or a finger. There is no limit on the size of the bat so would I benefit from using a slightly bigger bat? And a related question: Should I watch the ball right to the bat?</p> <h4>Exercises for Chopping - 21:05</h4> <p>Brian: When i'm chopping, I always feel awkward, and it feels like I don't have the proper stroke, do you have any exercises to practice chopping?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/topspin-counter-hit-a-flick/">Topspin Flick</a> - 22:55</h4> <p>Romeo: I'm sure we have all seen how players attack the flick to their backhand with their backhand. The question is, are they doing a topspin or a counter-hit? I find it hard to believe that they are even able to attack the ball.</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/shoulder-falling-away-while-hitting-the-forehand-top-spin/">Shoulder Dropping</a> - 25:45</h4> <p>Soumyajit: When I am trying to hit a fast forehand top spin or a forehand smash my left shoulder falls down. Then I either hit the ball into the net or pus it further and miss the table. What can I do to make sure that my left shoulder does not fall away?</p> <h4>Chopping Equipment - 28:43</h4> <p>Brian: Brian: I have a Nittaku Haneyoshi defensive blade, and XIOM Vega Asia rubbers on both sides. Is this setup suitable for chopping, or should I get a different one?</p> <h4>Links in this Episode</h4> <p><a href="/TSRDrills.pdf">Training Drills PDF</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/training-secrets/random-drills/">Random Drills</a> - for premium members</p> <p><a href="http://www.ittfstarawards.com/">ITTF Star Awards</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/forehand-chop/">Forehand Chop</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/backhand-chop/">Backhand Chop</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/multiball/multiball-extras/">Multiball Extras</a> and how to feed for a chopper - for premium members</p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/equipment-lessons/choosing-a-table-tennis-bat/">How to Choose a Bat</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/improving-your-reflexes/">Improving Your Reflexes</a> (we talk about the importance of watching the ball) - for premium members</p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/JKFsDeXuPkA?t=3m33s">Karate Kid II Drum Scene</a></p> <p> </p>
