I do that stand there like a tree not moving my feet in traing if we're hitting to the same spot but then my coach yells at me lol.

hm, one reason could be, that a left handed and a righthanded r better for double than a 2 left handed or 2 righthanded, so there is a need for leftys...

[Iamfromsweden007]

why are so many ping pong player left handed??

[Kubric]

Usually the dominating side of all players is their forehands so with 'most' of the players being righties, players develop their game around this idea of their opponents. For that reason, a left handed player tends to get more balls to their strongest side, their forehand. This usually makes it harder to play against them. (This is just in general, other factors should be taken into consideration)

im left handed ^^

[kaikaz]

Completely true + the fact which is proven that lefties use other brain parts. Those brain parts give them some advantage for better coordination and other things. Also my experience playing vs lefties is that their ball placement is alot sharper than right handed players.

[TheGreve]

@Kubric Although left handed players in general are very weak far out in their forehands, as well in their middles. I don't say it is easy to reach a ball that is far out in forehand if you're a righty, but left handed players tend to have more problems far out there than right handed, in general.

[maxk880]

@Kubric you're not right since it's very obvious if someone is left. Also if you play a forehand to a lefty he got it in his backhand

[tennist0]

same in tennis, I think it has to do with the part of the brain that is dominant as compared to righties...thats my assumption

[Vesk90]

we're better players. :D

[FelixLikettagh]

that is not true^^

[ecto80]

translate it into german for me and its ok :P

or let timo speak XD

[GBtabletennis]

You don't need that. Just look at his start and end position with his body, hand, elbow, shoulder.. everything what you can see what he does..

And when he hit the ball.. (Fast, normal, late).. How he hit the ball (Flat, closed with his paddle)..

That's the important stuff..

[crickeycool]

@GBtabletennis that really isnt the important stuff whats important is his expert technique of how he carries the ball closing the paddle/elbow position are all beginners stuff, what really takes time to practise especially in the counter is the control and the carry of the ball, the trick is not to hit it but to carry the ball!

Cheers :)
