I think Brian meant the feet are off the ground at the moment you contact the ball. They should be on the ground right before the contact for the back swing and right after for the recovery.

@ZingyDNA Bravo! This player gets it

great vid brian! I didn't think you're actually supposed to "leave the ground" during a kill loop, but I went through the motion myself and found myself off the ground.

Maybe a rephrasing of the "lifting off" would help people believe you a bit more as I initially thought it was an active "jump" instead of the an explosion of power that brings you off the ground. Know what I mean?

@ohhgourami I explained it, and I showed it for 2 minutes. If players start to look at clips of top players, they will understand it.

Great video Brian! Looks like a huge amt of work. Thx for all your insights about the game, and your playing advice. And I can't wait to see your next video. BTW, take a listen to the soundtrack to the movie "Drive." It's cool electronic music, much of which I think would fit your videos. In any case, your musical selections are excellent. So, good luck w/ everything and don't work too hard.

@TheQuickest yeah, I think he was just making the point that there is weight transfer from right to left. A lot of players tend to sort of jump when doing this. High lvl players do it sometimes when they're doing a 100% kill-shot loop or a slam. They literally jump from right to left foot.

But most of the time for controlled 80% loops it's just a shift because they need to be grounded when their loop gets counter looped..and being in the air for that split second causes a slight loss of balance.

You are such an inspiration to us all. Really really really hope you make the olympics. All the best!

If you take a look at the Zhang Jike video I referenced in my other post, it is very clear that Jike's right foot is still on the ground at contact even when he is in perfect position... at least when looping against heavy underspin.

Brian,

If you search "Zhang Jike Loop", your first result is a video of Zhang Jike looping versus Joo See Hyuk in slow motion HD. I noticed in the video that Zhang's right foot is still on the ground at contact on each loop...sometimes its his entire foot and sometimes just the ball of his foot. Would you say this is because Zhang is lifting world class underspin and needs a much more upward motion instead of right to left in this situation? Love your vids.

whats the music from 17:00- 19:00?

Strongly suggest drinking about 16 oz of chocolate or strawberry flavored milk (lowfat milk with sugar) right after practices of over two hours length as a recovery drink. Carbs with protein tends to speed recovery and will provide some missing calories from your diet. Also, don't steal the tomatoes. Ask nicely. Maybe trade something.:^)

Nice video. I really enjoyed it.
