Hello,
Would it be possible to do a video on a game strategy instead of an isolated shots? That is to say, how do we form a game/point plan, how do we serve, what kind of returns can we expect, what to do against it etc?
As far as isolated shots are concerned, I’d love to see how to loop low and short balls or how to get the first attack.

Forehand Block,Physical Exercises, Hitting Form , Advanced Forehand and Backhand Push, Drills etc
Forehand Block- same as BH Block
Physical Exercise- skipping, side steps, etc Anything to develop the important parts of the body for TT
Hitting Form – In your videos, you only explained how to do that stroke but as you can see, Jeff’s legs are moving so that means that he’s transferring weight from each leg.
Advanced FH and BH Push- Putting spin of pushes
Tactics- Like 3rd Ball Attack etc

I just thought of another lesson idea.
Why not backspin sidespin shots?

How To Deal With Choppers is a good one. I would’ve suggested some strokes for the penhold grip, but I assumed that’s out of you guys’ reach considering both of you guys play shakehand. Finally as mentioned above, some game strategies.
Keep up the good work guys.

Another is Racket Angle and Transferring Weight from Right to Left Foot or vice versa. For Racket Angle, you can compare them to a clock. Sometimes in your videos, I can hear Alois saying “facing the roof” so I got confused. I thought the angles were Closed, Semi Closed, Flat, Open, Semi Open. Another is transferring weight from you foot. It’s a handy guide for beginners because it can be used to correct the strokes of beginners by using the feet to time your strokes.

How about a video on how to train by yourself? A lot of people ask this question so I thought it would help you save time too by not having to answer it over and over. Thanks for all the videos guys I have learned a lot and I can’t wait for my dvd to come in the mail!

Dear Pingskills,
I believe a training or strategy lessons of serve return & footwork would be very helpful.
