    Thanks for video, it’s given me some renewed thinking ideas. As an older former competitive player I find I have had to become a better thinker of the game to out fox younger better players. I now get enjoyment out of seeing younger players shaking their head, wtf just happened. lol

      @@table_tennis_fever Thank you - will do! I'm looking forward to learning more from your channel. I'm 76 years old and the gentleman that I edged-out is a very strong and healthy 65 and recently took 3rd place in a local tournament, so I'm a very happy camper! I kept driving shots up the middle, as you suggested, and it worked very well. He can consistently handle balls that are on either wing. When I jammed him and forced him to go far to one side of the table, I could often win with a shot to the open side. In many instances, simply jamming him won the point outright! I've never played in a rated tournament, but from the ratings of others I've played I would guess that I'm probably about a 1200-1350 player. Like many others in my age-range, I only started playing again a couple of years ago, and there is soooo much to learn!!!

    good video, but thinker vs machine does not convince me.
    The weakness of the machine is a (good) thinker, the weakness of the thinker is (a consistent) machine. That's not very helpfull.
    Because the weakness of the machine is also a more consistent machine & the weakness of a thinker is also a better thinker.
    It ends up meaning that the best player wins... which doesn't really help.
    More helpfull is stating that to win from the machine, you need to destabilize them through suble variations and trying to predict their next shot and taking advantage of that. And to win from the thinker you need to keep your consistency by pay close attention to their suble variations and you have to try and switch up your game enough for them not to be able to predict your shots...
    In faireness, I also hear this in your video, but putting it this way may be more helpfull to players encountering these types of play?

      hey thanks for the feedback! yes i did mention those points u mentioned but maybe not in a super clear manner. Honestly I just wrote down sections, and the rest I was doing it on-the-fly cuz I have sooo much experience. In hindsight a better organized explanation would be good.
      btw, obviously for each and every type of player, ONE of their weaknesses is always a stronger one of their own kind. That is obvious and that's why I don't cover that. Imagine at the start of each type I repeat - "The weakness of this type, just like any other type, is a stronger player of this same type." ? haha that would be useless.

    Table tennis'quality shot comes from the possition or preparation which comes from a good moveme nt of the legs and one more thing which exclude height or strenght which is center of gravity of body which means you shouldnt be lazy but going down to up for every ball...doing this will improve one's play with much more than anything else

    • @table_tennis_fever

      that's 100% correct. I agree and hope content of the vid did not make you think I'm saying otherwise

    Fishing I believe is basically lobbing or creating high topspins from behind the table (beyond 5 feet or more) while you prepare to counterattack or force your opponent into an error.

    • @table_tennis_fever
      @table_tennis_fever  Před 5 měsíci

      maybe there's an official definition, but from my years of experience playing with really good players (2200+) fishing is not super high (those are lobs), and fishing involves some top or side spin to mess up your opponent, and fishing is not an active attack / looping technique, so the ball isn't super fast flying. That's about it. There's no reason to get a formal definition if that even exists.

    This is pretty funny. I can’t spin the ball very well nor hit it really hard. I copied strokes from different pro players and all of them seem to work so I have no idea which way is the correct way. I ended up just using them all. As a result, none of them is super consistent. I thought (actually I’m still pretty sure) it’s just lack of skills, and no proper coaching. But since I’m skinny (105lbs 5’05” male), I thought it’s funny your observation of skinny players pretty much describes me perfectly. Maybe your video only applies to “garage” players.

    • @table_tennis_fever
      @table_tennis_fever  Před 3 měsíci

      my intention is to apply the video to everyone under 2200 rating, as that's my experience range. I actually don't want to describe garage players becuz they just hitting around for fun, there's no need to analyze them. Easy to beat them. The best garage players don't go over 1600 anyway

    • @table_tennis_fever
      @table_tennis_fever  Před 5 měsíci

      it's like lobbing but much lower height and with top or side spin, often can be used to win easy points against inexperienced opponents
