Ping Pong tips from champion Yiyong Fan

[skyking166]

you guys know what's the best pratice to do alone?get yourself some balls,find a wall (solid so your neightbor won't come over and scream at you or watever), and do blocking against the wall. Yes i know it sound stupid and childish, but do it till you can consistently blocking back with the wall at about 2 feet away and no more than 45degree to and from the wall. That would make your control a lot better. try to do it with backhand, and from there try to do the same with forehand on the table

[Chiang000]

Jävla guling :)

[georgelopezlover1]

[MrRaneni]

:)) Hey guys! Please move to 1:02... When he launched the ping pong ball... a sound like an explosion... began...Like the ball would have exploded...:))

[pismobeach25]

I'm a basement player! i play basement rules, If the ball hits any walls and lands in opponents side..it counts

[maplelegend1]

@pismobeach25 lol me 2! apart from my opponent always seems to do that, never me :(

[HmongBleach]

I'm good at ping pong, but compare to you i'm nothing!

[Skadify]

i want play with you :D

[GBtabletennis]

Lol, he is completely illegal player.

[sunshine97villi]

ping pong is my lifee

[milotist]

i like ping pong

[XblazerX]

no wonder he's national champ if he uses this tshirt when he plays...

[PabloRGA]

At 1:02 it's thundershot!

[OneMilkTwoStraws]

@PabloRGA made my day....

[oryxfreeride]

what he says is very true. You learn to chop with some underspin, and you will dominate the basement table tennis. Actually learn how to do absolutely anything with spin and you will dominate basement table tennis. Especially if you give your opponent (whos only ever played basement tt) one of your good rackets, then they will be much worse off in trying to control the spin that you give them. I wish more basement players had access to proper equipment... people would appreciate TT much more

[Diuable]

well i think the problem is that people consider it as a basement sport, and they just havent been exposed to real table tennis.

[vinnceyounG10]

i beat him twice the other day

[MrZkate]

I have better then butter fly if its like 100 speed 100 spin 80 control :O I got 100 speed , 100 spin and 84 control

[riversaviola]

i think you only know the basic,many small detail

movement only the speaker of chinese can 100%

understand,so that's why no one in the world can beat down china, i tell it true

[hmobvaj2]

[tabletennisplaya]

I love the way he says Sports!

[waterman159]

Perfect form and position.

Go away stupid people who arn't good enough to know!

[progressivelife]

well.. it's just the basics nothing new

[bboy71294]

hey im the first comment in a year

anyways those are some really good tips

[lorenzolowrince]

Thank you Sifu!

[trexioks]

haha ty i now should know how to hold it ;) and be a bit better xD

[brunozxch2o]

excuse me... he is national champion?...

what country is he supposed to be from? o0'

[bobis333]

i have a stiga but i want a butterfly. the way he holds it is fine. most asians hold it like a pencil so it was weird for him to say that

[gimplar]

@bobis333 Penhold is a very difficult style to play. If you want to do penhold you need to start training at a very very young age to ever be competitive at the national level. The amount of footwork needed to succeed with penhold is absolutely staggering, you better be able to FH loop drive from the far FH corner then step around and do the same from your BH corner. Shakehand is much easier since your backhand is much easier to pull off.

[QuelDanas]

good tips, im gonna try that style he was holding the paddle with and that tip about the elbow was interessting indeed

[gimplar]

@QuelDanas I think he was describing a basic counter hit. That's how I do a counter-hit at least, very little motion from above the elbow. Just rotate my forearm as well as some rotation from the hips (while keeping shoulders in-line with hips). My form changes quite a bit when I do a FH loop or top spin. At that point I don't bend the forearm as much and instead swing with my shoulder and hips and my arm kinda just comes along for the ride.

Basically bigger the swing = more hips, less arm.

[XL128]

wow when he did the back hand serve, suddenly there was a large bang, it is like the ball he hit blast a wall or something

[megotvtec]

that is horrible advise for beginers,lol. ive been addicted to ping pong for about 3 months now, playing almost everyday, me and my friends arent great, but were not horrible, but were not at the skill level to hit the ball fast like in the vid, sometimes we can spike it down but only if the previous pass was soft and high.

is there some vids out there to help beginers get better?

[rvsd44]

good tips except when he held the paddle with the red rubber facing out explaining about blocking. It looked silly!

[sillygrouse]

ahhh, asias pastime

[celticbanner18]

Although I am not a great player I have beaten some top ranked players over the years and given others fits. That being said, any of you that have been "dissing" Yiyong Fan ought to be ashamed of yourself - That guy is by far the best player I have ever played. I'll admit a lot of what he does looks simple; but isn't that the idea. And he is a great teacher!

[necrophear]

lol right when he does the back hand serve theres a huge noise in the background it makes it sound hilarious lol

[BlackbeltNana]

He should correct the form of those kids, they were doing it totally wrong.

[ilkdaddy]

wow i cant understand a word u just said...

[silva0003]

Daamn look at those kids chopping away.. lol

[trsrocker123]

He uses a butter fly very good one

100speed

100spin

80control

[ttlooper1]

totally wrong. no pros use premade rackets with speed, spin, and control ratings. he uses top of the line rubbers and blades, bought individually, totalling at least 120 dollars usually.

[cmetsbeltran15]

Wow you actually think he uses a premade? He uses much more advanced rackets, costing well over 150 dollars.

[gimplar]

@cmetsbeltran15 You don't have to pay $150 for a great paddle. I use a $75 setup, (Yinghe/Galaxy W6 blade, Dawei Quattro rubbers) and it beats the crap out of a $110 butterfly setup (Primorac blade, Sriver rubbers). Sure, most pros use butterfly or Joola or Yasaka but that's because they're sponsored and get it for free.

[HeavenInOblivion]

I got one of those!!

[alkoholikXedge]

sucker

[cptjrkov]

most amatuers dont realize how important

a GOOD paddle is to spin !

[chicoy12]

hahaha, they do have those ratings for every kind of raquet

i use a champ, addoy is too light and the handle is too small

[Hermxpx]

im very good for that.. japanese guy.

[haydonlee93]

he cant teach

i can tell hes greedy

he teaches form so messed up

[rosun82]

Yep, complete messed up, look at the stupid way he hold that racket

[Membersacc]

How is that stupid? It is a shallow handshake grip. Which is one of the most common, at least from my experience.

[TheNinethWonder]

u do know hes a champ and ur not. anyway its ur own choice.

[Skelros]

it IS the most common

[riddlecakes]

i use a I dont know whats it called grip i have my thumb on the invert from grip to pad..

[riversaviola]

i think you only know the basic,many small detail

movement only the speaker of chinese can 100%

understand,so that's why know one in the world can beat down china, i tell it true

[haydonlee93]

this guys a joke

[mendez03965]

dumbass theirs nothing wrong with the way he s holding his paddle

[Pewpshmear]

u stohpid. looks like youve never played before.

[mixstylee]

i play at his club, he is not greedy at all and is oneof the coolest guys ever, he is the #1 ranked in the USA and has beaten many of the top players aroudn the world like seung mun ryu and werner schlager more they had beat him, he could be ranked much higher on the world rankings but he only shows up at some tourney occasionally because he spends all hi time training others instead of training himself,so much for being greedy,his grip is textbook way of holding a table tennis bat

[bshitter]

He can't teach. He knows how to play. But I don't think he knows how to transfer the knowledge.

[nommayomnom]

He's actually a pretty good teacher. He taught me for a little bit today and yesterday, and he was a good teacher.

[rk077]

wow great vidoe...thx for the upload...gotta practice now :D ...

[cptjrkov]

Bout time someone shows us some tips that are easy to understand!

thanx Yiyong Fan !

[shello111]

i have the same blade as him!

[sternumlad]

man those kids are pretty good

[MIXMASTAPWN]

im amazing i can beat most pros but im banned from the pro league so im forced to play in the underground tournaments its life or death... lol
