It is so enjoyable to watch your matches every time!
Glad you enjoy them! Hopefully I can upload more here soon!
This was your best video. Very good match, great analysis, and the tip/drill at the end is awesome. Thank you!
Thank you for the input! I’ll remember that for future videos! We had a great match
I really enjoy your videos and also very much appreciate your calm commentary that ignores (mostly) the result both of individual points, sets and even the match.
But every now and then it would be great if you could talk us through some of the spectacular points, a bit of slow mo, maybe a retrospective CHO! from the commentary box...
I try my best to not take matches too personally both win and lose I think it’s encouraging to win and losing has its way of teaching! I like that idea maybe a cool replay or something if it a really cool point! Get the energy up in the commentators box!
What a match, what a match...congratulation for your sense of 120% of attack, agressive. Its a motivation for me tô encourage to do the same. I really enjoyed this vídeo, good Job.
Thank you sir! I like to be on the offense it wins me matches thats for sure, I have to watch out sometimes I go for shots that are not there! but Im at least aware of this which I was not before haha!
Hello Seth!
At the end when you mention the drill and that "you reach out for the ball" on the backhand, the way you are trying to solve this it it only by waiting more so the ball comes closer to your body or do you have to move in/out in order to have a better timing?
Hi yeah good question, I believe I should wait for it, I like the fact that I go back a little bit because it lets me look for forehands which is what wins me points but if they get it to my backhand I want to wait for it more.
Great vid as always, some big points (especially 9-10 in the 4th)! What shoes are those? I'm thinking of getting a new pair and they look quite light!
Thank you yeah some really great points in there!
the shoes are called ATTACK DOMINATE FF2
I found them on TTJapan Website but I think I ordered them on ebay. Love them they are light durable and actually help me move faster than other shoes because the weight is distributed on the toes I got two of them and very happy I did even though they are a bit pricey!
Hello Pech, you are very fast on your legs, how are you so fast? How did you improve that good your footwork?
I should really make another two or three videos on the topic as I get asked about it a lot! I would say I personally can not play unless I move a lot it helps me mentally, I do weight lifting in the gym, as well as a lot of bike riding and just a bunch of different sports, my favorite multiball drills are whole table underspin with forehand as well as whole table multiball topsin with forehand.
Mr Giacomo, I note his footwork too, is very strong. I agree with him about bike riding. About 90km/week will let your body ligther to move.
5:56, what a battle!
Yes it was!!
Nice backhand exercise at the end of the video! Keep it up!
Thanks m8 will do! 📈💪
Great playing. Just a little bit more and it would've been your win. I saw the brothers playing in LA Open in 2018. They are really good.
As a rule, I automatically root against a crazy screamer 😉.
Thank you! Yeah it was a close one maybe next time☝️ haha I agree to much screaming is no good for the sport
Hi Seth,
I noticed in this match that you had many many really perfect high quality forehands, both with great spin and speed, yet Gal was able to return them. However, when you performed these closer to the table, he wasn't able to return them, when performed very far away from the table he would be able to block them easily.
Would you say that in general we should play closer to the table then? or am I reading the wrong conclusion? How would you finish and win the point if you're in that situation? (i.e. being pushed backward and unable to be close to the table to control the game?)
I think your correct modern players are playing closer to the table to put more pressure on the opponent, if I were back And trying to win the point i think my goal is to find a way back to the table in a strong position

Would you ever recommend doing the trick as described here. (i.e. adding side spin to forehand loop). czcams.com/video/P38tGd0sFy8/video.html
My friend used to say, that he would do 2 forehand loops, and then on the third add some side spin to the forehand loop and disguise using the same body motion and stroke. He would always win the point, because the opponent couldn't see the third ball loop had side spin on it, and the block would miss the corner of the table.
I suppose its way harder in practice to do than in theory.
Great match with amazing points and great physicality as always. With regards to him knowing where you are moving, I do think 'telegraphing' where you are going is not ideal, but the alternative is also not ideal, as it involves moving later than you otherwise would, just so they can't exploit where you seem to be preparing to go. This leaves less time for us to prepare for the shot as we are committing later.
Most player's aren't able to see / use this telegraphing against us, as long as it's not too obvious, but the ones who can, as you point out, are the top tier ones that you want to be beating! Definitely a skill that I see more utilized in say badminton and tennis [use of peripheral vision as a big factor in placement for your next shot].
One question I do have, is whether you are going to make a video about your physicality? You are one of the most explosive amateur players I've ever seen, so would be interested in knowing what you do for conditioning, as well as the S&C you did to build the physicality you had / whether your physicality was always great even when you were very young etc. Those legs are fire hydrants!
Hi thanks for the thoughts! I felt ok with playing a little more conservatively and "earning my shot" as opposed to moving early to where I think he wants to play! I would say by nature I am explosive always have been and its taken a while to be able to translate that into my tt game, I should make another video about how I train to make my movements faster as its requested a lot! What is S&C? I also would say my strength in my legs and body overall is not the product of one thing but the consistency of years of staying focused on it little by little. I really enjoy sports and being active so it makes it easy for me.
@@PechPongTT Yeah, I think with your level of play, as well as level of physicality, that's definitely something you've been more cognisant and also more able to adjust according to your opponent.
That's interesting to know, it's definitely a fun journey to improve your physicality. S&C = Strength & Conditioning. Most professional sportsmen, regardless of which sport they play in these days [Combat sports such as boxing/MMA, 'soccer', NBA, tennis and anything you care to name], have a S&C program, as well as S&C trainer/coaches, to ensure they are in good physical condition. Gone are the day's of the 90's/00's and before, where the players were generally lean, highly skilled, but not necessarily near being whatever they could be, in terms of physicality.
My philosophy on table tennis is that there are many skills we can improve [technical, gameplanning, physicality], as well as some we can't improve in isolation [i.e. reaction time won't improve appreciably from where it's currently at] and we need to try train everything can appreciably improve, as much as we can. Also, not everything can be trained on the court with the resources we have - in comes doing physical training as well as great online resources like PechPong / watching absolutely mammoth amount of Pro tour matches available online, to help add direction to our training/technique etc.
@@MrVibhas Some great thoughts here! I like the thought of training everything to improve I feel that if done correctly players can create unfair winning advantages by training specific things such as peripheral vision, forearm and wrist speed and strength, as well as a vast library of tried and true tactics (like you said by watching pros play online) of course there are more things that have not even thought of being trained yet but that will be found!
@@PechPongTT Awesome mate, I fully agree with everything, it comes back to just have a learning mindset and focusing on improvement every session and between sessions [rest/recovery/injury prevention is super important too!], especially as if even Ma Long / FZD can improve, then who really are any of us?
It's very visible that you have a great knack for this, and the passion shines through with your videos, and I'm very grateful we get an insight into your journey, big fan of your work!
You push and immediate move back 1 step and open your arm ready for fh top spin, it work!
Sometimes it works haha
7:13 👌
Thanks 👍
He seems to always know where you are, very interesting
Yeah that’s his way!!
@@PechPongTT You could try to fake stepping around next time and preparing for the ball in the forehand corner. This could confuse a player like him
I love that idea I’ve thought about doing that but the players I’ve played never fall for it because they don’t watch well enough and I fake myself 🤦♂️ but with him I think it would work!!! I have to remember that when I play a player who watches “too much” good idea!!!
1:41 no look
Yeah I needed to put it up higher so I would have more time next time!
Gal's playing style is amazing. This is the game I'd like to play myself but that's hard when you got like 10% of his skills, abilities and coaching time, lol 😂
He does have an incredible game style, I’ve seen him take down some really strong players on the biggest stages!
Keep working hard 📈 you got this 👍
@@PechPongTT yeah, I was watching him live at US Olympic trials at Santa Monica College once. Looking at how he locks down his opponents with clever ball placement is just a jaw dropping experience.
