Very useful tips. Working on the fundamentals are extremely important. Table Tennis is such a complex sport where you have to combine footwork, technique, timing and mental focus altogether. If you have just one part that is off the optimal, your game quickly deteriorates. This happens to everyone, even at the professional level. We see often that one might admire their shot too much and over committed themselves. Then just watching the ball coming back onto their own side.
I usually train multiple balls
You missed the tip of tipping the tip of the tip
I feel like the 10th tip should be abt the best racket config for oneself
I would say the biggest thing that helped me was my serve and third ball attack. I practice this a lot with my friend and it definitely tunes me in for match play. In fact I would take this single exercise over most others in terms of learning the possible scenarios I'm gonna find myself in after each type of serve I can do and how I can approach each scenario effectively.
Ignore me,, just make a list for my own.. 1. Nail the basic 0:22 2. Feel the ball 1:40 3. Weight transfer 3:16 4. Footwork 4:45 5. Timing point 5:22 6. Practice on pressure 6:26 7. Video analysis 7:41 8. Game plan 8:16 9. Develop weapon 9:04 10. Have fun !!🏓🏓 10:12 Thank you Dan and Tom !!!
Haha I see you editing this second after second

You are smart!!

The Problem with most of these tips: You need a partner who is pretty good :D
ik mr gay
So true tho, you need someone that is close to your level or else you won't get better , no matter how hard you try
That's really not a problem, just go to a club
Just play with the wall!
@@zuzu-my6li not so efficient to play against the wall though
Something I wish more coaches would emphasize is having a conventional grip, because if you don't it can break down the technique of the stroke
Yes, that is very important as well. There are two school of thoughts on that. 1. The way you grip your paddle definitely affect your technique of various strokes. Especially with Shakehand and Penhold, there are lots of varieties within. Each style will help and hamper the execution of the shots. 2. However, it is more important to 'how' you hold your paddle. Table Tennis is about transferring the power through the momentum, from the feet all the way to your wrist, as if the paddle is an extension of your 'hand' itself. Therefore, do not have a tight grip on the paddle all the time. You are not only tensing yourself all over the body, but you can tire out quickly. Besides, your quality of the stroke would be much more restricted. This in turns, will likely causing overcompensation from parts of your body, which will cause various degrees of injuries. Chinese coaches are keying on the 'feel' of the paddle. Therefore, table tennis will becoming easier on your body when you are 'relaxed' and 'in control'. Before the actual shot, make sure your grip is somewhat loose. But keep in mind to be in position and ready for the stroke. Then gradually using the 'power from the ground'. Using your momentum to transfer the power from your legs, to your ankle, knees (staying low and bent), hips/waist (with the turn), shoulder, elbow and finally wrist. At that point, you gradually increased the grip of your paddle and accelerate at the point of contact with the ball. Once you do that, you finish your stroke. Then quickly on your follow through and deceleration phase, decrease your grip again and relax your entire body to get ready for the next shot. If you want to see other videos of this and the Chinese techniques of effective Table Tennis, I will definitely suggest you to check out 'coach emratthich'. He is a professor and a coach for a French League Table Tennis team. He will give you a lot of knowledge and insights to the game, where some important aspects are ignored by many European coaches. Good luck!
Good
I practice in a garage with lots of stuff so if you mess up you might need to dodge a wrench
😂
Lol
Well, if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball
@@kousseye155 if u can dodge a dodgeball, you can dodge a bullet
@@kousseye155 i was about to comment that hahahaha
BOYS! This is far and away the best tips video I've ever seen... 1 through 10 directly applies to me & my game. Thanks so much for making it! After I finished it, I sent it to a bunch of buddies that I play with at our club in Charlotte NC USA. PS: I'm signing up for a TTD membership today. Thanks Again! Drew
Thanks Dude, much appreciated!

funniest ping pong game of all time in my channel come and watch2
Do a collab with pongfinity
Didn’t that already happen
@@swagmzlf no
@@himnishsinha6896 kinda did actually. But not with Otto and Miikka.
It happened
Oh hell yes
Gotta love the back and forth (not only of the ball, but also of the way they talk!)
true
People usually get discouraged when they go to their local club and on the first few visits, lose (almost) all matches, having fun and learning from your losses is key to improvement, after a match, think about what kind of mistakes you made, what you could've done better... People are too quick to assume they had no chance and not learn from experience.
I wish I even had a club to lose at. I don't think ping pong is very big here in the US
@@pumitriii6160 it’s not but there are some. I just found one by me in NC
@@pumitriii6160 same here 😭
That's what coaches are for, observing technical weaknesses that the player does not detect on their own or how to clear it up
Wonderful point by point breakdown. Simply amazing n really inspiring! Thank you
Wow guys, impressive video, maybe your best one ever so far. So many great ideas, thanks!!
here's a top tip. I'm not a player but a father of one. My son is 8, as soon as he showed an interest in the game, I booked him into the local club where there's a proper ITTF coach, in just 3 sessions his improvement is beyond belief.
Where's the tip??
Thank you for the great tips. Now need to practice these.
Thankyou guys. I'm from india. I wanted to improve my game and this video helped me a lot. Thankyou again. 🙏
i am a beginner and i used these tips during table tennis class and my mates called me a poser
Bruh
They simply doesn't know basics and just mocking you. Continue with these practice and you will be better than those people.
Lol same but I get called mr jelly bouncer
They say that because their game is so lame that they feel overwhelmed, and their relief is calling you like that 🤣
@@fartuunmohamed5299 😂
man dan u been pumping out the vids thats amazing xD
Love the point about analysing your own videoed matches. Would be great if you or Tom could analyze one of your own matches on video and upload it. That would be really insightful, I think.
We have this feature on the Academy website :)
Thanks for sharing...these tips are really helpful! 👌
This helped me a lot! Thank you!
Thanks so much to both of you for giving tips for us I am learning so many things from this channel thanks bro
Nice boys. The part about having a unique weapon was great as was how all the points were presented. 👏🏾❤️👍🏽
Thanks. So much helpful.
this video help me in my first coaching JOB, Thx very nice
Great Video :) I think being confident in your stokes is one of the most important points to get better. Because without confidence, you can't hit the ball as "full" and hard as you could. This of course implements your first point, nailing the basics.
Amazing ❤️
Dan... your TT skills, enthusiasm, drive and confidence is above and beyond most international level pros. Moreover, the way you explain your play and stay humble is just brilliant. So, for me... Dan represents table tennis for the whole of UK. Furthermore, Dan represents table tennis coaching/lessons/KZhead for the whole world.
Dang
:💀
Thanks guys! Really great tips!
Excellent tips.Loved it and we will implement surely
Thanks so much guys! This is absolutely fantastic! I love it, can't wait to go practice now 👌🏾
Hi lads, you broke down a lot of very useful techniques into extremely understandable short clips. Thank you 😊
You guys deserve a thumbs up for tip # 10. It brought smile on my face
High quality video and tips, guys! Nice one...
tq for the tips..yesterday i did tips no 2..i realize during matches i contact the ball too thick which causes the ball go long..then i changed and brush thinly during fh and bh topspin and i won against my friend whom i never beat before for 1 year.hehe..keep it up
Thank you very much, great video!!!
I'm an English teacher here in JP, and children here are really good at playing table tennis. I'll try these tips out (especially the ground-to-arm power generation) as well as improve on my own weapon (very low powered serve which scrambles them into running towards the table) 😂
Japan?
The quality of this video is very high! Thank you ❤️ 🏓
Finally good tips! Thank you!
I was an international player in table tennis and represented my country🇩🇿 in many tournaments. But I stopped doing it for 4 years ago 😭. But I missed it so I came to watch this video❤️
I feel your pain, happened to me too.
Why did you quit?
@sebia i am ready to play with you.🏓 Challenge
I was also a world champion for 10 year but I came here to learn
@@vnixz I was a universal champ
Thank you so much guys. Got a tournament coming up and this is very useful
Normally I watch these things and I have no idea what's happening, but I really like how they explain things I hope that this helps me improve
I dabble in table tennis every once in a while at my school. I lose all the time but I’m having fun and I’ve recently decided that I want to get a lot better. Wish me luck!
Saaaame
Are you going to get any lessons so you don't have to reinvent the wheel? It's hard to develop technique without understanding what to do. Desire alone doesn't build the understanding of technique whether it be The Strokes and or footwork
Good luck man
Also good tip : Keep it simple! E.g.: Long backspin serve, attack immediately afterwards with a soft spinny topspin, place the ball at the sides.
Uhmm... I can’t even do this
Thank you for teaching 👍💐💐
Thanks so much for the help
I’m lefty and I only train with right handed playees
95% of people are right handers, I’ve just become used to it to the point where I hate playing against left handers.
me too
I’m also lefty
Luckily one of my friends is left handed and the other is right handed
I’m both it’s easy first I start with my left then when I actually try I switch
Whos here because we keep losing 😂🤚🏾🤦🏾♂️
I play every day and I can’t seem to see any improvement.
Me
Spent 3 hrs playing dad beat me every time
Hahhahahaha true but not always
I hope this is a joke
So well explained.
Thanks guys this is so helpful to my table tennis journey 😊 thank you so much
Thanks very much. To what extent does a deep versus shallow grip make a difference?
A very Happy and prosperous New year to TT players and fraternity 🏓
After this video I have improved in my forehands and backhands in the table tennis.
Thank you this helped me a lot I am a big fan I watch all your videos
Amazing and useful tips👍🏓️. The emphasis on fundamental technique is so crucial to developing your game and improving. Without these basics, You won’t be getting anywhere.one suggestion and tip that you haven’t mentioned is to use multiball training and also practicing playing more games and match situation in your training as well😀
I'm a tennis coach, we have to go through the same fundamental concepts in varied strokes and footwork
My uncle just came to our house and just destroyed us , now I’ll revenge , sounds like a kung fu movie lol
I love this mental of table tennis. But at the end of the day is destruction with respect
@@bluespirit8590 he destroyed me 💔 but I almost won so its a win for me somehow 😂👍
@@kareem4677 You must seek vengeance, it is your ping pong destiny
Excellent video! Thanks guys 👍
Thank you 🙏😀 both of you, sir!!
Finally a high quality table tennis channel other than Pongfinity. Please make more!!

Awesome video!!! thank you very much! helps alot as a new player, What racket combination do you guys recommend for a newer player?
funniest ping pong game of all time in my channel come and watch3
My new job has A table in the break room. I never played before but 4 months later I’ve played hours. Every smoke break my co workers have a game going. I actually will skip the smoke sometimes to guarantee I get a table spot. It is an incredibly fun game.
thank you for your great tips!
Thank you TTD for the tips..
11. Have a coach. 12. Watch others - especially strong players and the ones who are learning and improving (rather that use same old tactics all over again).
Great video, please could you do a video on choosing a paddle? Beginners etc
5 ply wood blade, soft tensor rubber on backhand, normal inverted rubber on forehand. This is a typical beginner setup.

Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉🎉that was so useful. I love tennis on the table
Good lesson👍🏻
A video about returning different types of spin please :)

@@MinhNguyen-yy8vq homie wut
I improved my game massivley, once i stopped to just Train for tabletennis 4 days a week. I started hitting the gym twice in the morning and going for a nice Long swim on sundays. I felt so much more relaxed in my games, no idea why
It is called "escaping the boredom" from doing the same things everyday , surely it will bring your good mood back when you playing the game back
BRO OUTSTANDING
Loved the tips, so for free! Thanks a bunch
Great explanation and nicely made videos 👍
I could not believe that having fun is a tip. Thank you so much for this tip.
Hey Ariel, I think it's quite an underrated tip
@@TableTennisDaily you are totally right.
Nice & very helpful tips 👍💐
Thanks for tips Sir I learned alot I will try Sirs God Bless
Could you go over all the basics? (so you can know exactly what to practice, is there universal basics or will these differ from country to country, state per state etc?) when it comes to recording, would it be most optimal to video from a top-down point of view? or is the video at 08:14 fine/most optimal?

What helps me play better is if you play on a smaller table like a dining room table. You get used to the smaller table so when you play on a real table, It feels big and it makes it easier.
Great video / excellent tips! :-)
This help me a lot!!
You get extra points for good audio. Many of the other table tennis video groups have bad audio. The cloth you have on the walls seems to be working well.
TT is a very rewarding game. Favorable learning curve and easy to pick up again after long breaks. I started playing with my seniors in 5th grade summer break. Became good enough to steal a set from them in a course of 3 months. Now at 23, I've injured my knee playing basketball, so wanted to switch to some sport that will be easier on me.
even so your knees are very important in all sports including table tennis
@@hottopics7561 yeah it is, at a high level, but I only play for fun. I don't exert myself fully while playing now.
@@vaishnavnegi9640 will help you stay mobile , hope your knee recovers
@@hottopics7561 fortunately it's a lot better now, I'm able to run without much problems and even do gym 6 days a week. Strengthening the muscles in quads and calves helped a lot.
it was fun to try thank you
Wonderful bro this video helped me like I can't express this improved my game 99%
Tysm guys! Though I'm an ameteur, it's great to go back to basics! Amazing video, cheers✌🏻👍🏻
Hey Chavala, glad you liked the video, stay tuned for more :)
