You can't go down like that if u aren't tall xD

[manudehanoi]

i'd like to learn more about knees, ankles and foot, it's interesting to see in this video that the right heel is lifted just before jumping to the right and left heel lifted just before jumping to the left regardless of the supposed weight transfer to the left leg at the end to the forehand stroke

[pingskills]

@manudehanoi Yeah I think that Alois makes this movement just to ensure he is balanced before pushing off.

Hi, im trying to build my footwork, but im falling behind. Because of this, it's not allowing me to play my full game. I can't keep up with every ball, and im quite slow on some occations. PLEASE HELP MEEE!

[pingskills]

@bballman237 The key is to start practicing with small movements. Have your training partner place one ball to your forehand and then one ball slightly to the side. This will get you moving. Once you become comfortable with this you can increase the distance.

If you've got any more questions then try using the Ask the Coach section of our website. That way all of your questions are recorded so you can look back over them at a later date. A lot of players find that useful.

Thanks :)

[TheUniverseExists]

@owhen92 are you okay?

[linantiger]

want to learn play pingpong? go to china.

[kaye0626]

i think your suggest is not so practical to most of us....I wish I could go there...even Waldner went there to train during his younger days. For us average people.... Pingskill is very helpfull....

[tkara5007]

wats a sidestep?

[arneljoseph21]

thank u.............

[takkyuHero]

How do I side step like the pros? When I observe them, they also never push off. It's like they just side step with lower trajectory or something.

[bartek4443]

@takkyuHero I also noticed that lol

[BighitOwnsCoD4]

Thanks heaps. your videos help a lot ;)

thanks again.

[takkyuHero]

fuck table tennis poof sport

[tabletennisplaya]

Actually you just need to have your knees shoulder width apart. Getting it wider won't change anything but comfort. It's just your preference to have your legs wider than shoulder width.

[tabletennisplaya]

Why am I an idiot? It's true man. If you look at pros most of them have there knees shoulder width apart. If you look at Timo Boll, you stretches widely. It's just a matter of preference. You're the idiot. I think you're a recreational player... I've played Table Tennis for 6 years. I should know this stuff.

[Winroz666]

its true i play table tennis to..

[sexinthebathtubwith]

@tabletennisplaya According to youtube, real credentials don't count. :( Not dissing you, just helping you understand some of the stupidity around here. as if "here" was a real place lol

[colabiermix]

jojo

[ignarus]

This is quite good. Thanks.

[mrpeanut25]

my club has concrete floors, not floorboards, they're much harder on your feet, so the next day i can barely walk >_>

[tabletennisplaya]

It's okay unless your a senior. How old are you?

[mrpeanut25]

17 lol, its mainly due to lack of stretching really.

[brunozxch2o]

Nice ;D

as always...

[powpanda]

What if I am pretty small? Should I not bend down so low?

[voidzoblivion]

you must've not heard his entire video your suppose to bend halfway if your not tall enough. But keep your legs wide.

[pongskillsrocks]
