Summary: <h4>Yesterday’s #PQOTD - 0:54</h4> <p>Should the ITTF put in place stricter rules to stop ex Chinese players playing for different countries?</p> <h4>#PQOTD - 5:43</h4> <p>When your opponent makes a service error, do you say "Thank you”?</p> <h4>Playing Against Sidespin - 6:15</h4> <p>Bhaswar: How do we play against a very heavy sidespin? The one that spins on the right? I generally use the forehand topspin stroke.</p> <h4>Why are the Chinese Better? - 8:15</h4> <p>Brock: How can a Chinese play better at table tennis than a Swedish player? Different tempo or what?</p> <h4>Tomokazu Harimoto - 10:06</h4> <p>Lukas: How old do you think Tomokazu Harimoto was when he started to play table tennis?</p> <h4>Waldner - 12:40</h4> <p>Brock: Does Waldner still live in China or does he live in Sweden now or does he still compete?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/ready-for-the-52-week-training-plan/">52 week Training Plan</a> - 13:13</h4> <p>Matthew: I’ve been training for a month and I’ve learnt the forehand and backhand counterhit, backhand and forehand push, and forehand topspin. I can do around 100 of these. I am thinking about becoming a Premium member and using the 52 week training plan.</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/rolling-the-ball-from-one-side-to-the-other/">Rolling the ball on bat</a> - 16:00</h4> <p>Tom: How do you roll the ball from one side of the bat to the other. In your 'practicing alone' video at 02:05 you start rolling the ball from one side to the other. How do you do this?</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/how-to-preserve-your-lead/">Preserving a Lead</a> - 17:46</h4> <p>J-B: Playing against an opponent of similar level. Leading with what statistically looks like a decisive margin, say like 8-5. You think that in this position, it would be a shame to not be able to close it. You play like your grandmother and blow it.</p> <h4> <a href="/table-tennis-forum/should-i-enter-tournament/">Playing tournaments</a> - 22:36</h4> <p>Andre: I have been playing table tennis for 4 years and I want to begin to play in tournaments. There's a tournament in 2 months and it's a regional qualifier. Should I sign up for it or do I still need more time to practise?</p> <h4>Backhand Counterhit Follow Through - 25:08</h4> <p>Bhaswar: When practising the backhand counterhit I don't much follow through but the ball goes really nice? Is it really important now to follow through?</p> <h4>Your Idol - 26:31</h4> <p>Brock: Who was your grown-up idol in table tennis when you were kids?</p> <h4>Improving Quickly - 26:53</h4> <p>Lukas: It's very impressive, Tomokazu proved how good you can get in a couple of years. Do you think that if you practise hard enough, that you can reach that level in just a couple of years?</p> <h4>Links in this Episode</h4> <p><a href="/table-tennis/training-plan/">52 Week Training Plan</a></p> <p><a href="/PingSkillsTrainingPlan.pdf">Training Plan PDF</a></p> <p><a href="/TSRDrills.pdf">Training Drills PDF</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/master-classes/pre-point-routine/">Pre-point routine</a></p> <p><a href="/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/backhand-counterhit/">Backhand Counterhit Lesson</a></p> <p> </p>
