Zhang Jike technique

Tushar Rajguru Asked 13 years ago

Hi , I was just watching Mens Singles Table Tennis Final at London Olympics between Wang Hao and Zang Jike . I was so much surprised to see Zang Jike creating so much speed during a rally from his backhand . So can you please explain me how he was creating so much speed from just an small action , so that I can also apply it and can improve my game .

Hi Tushar,

I bet you enjoyed the match.  Don't forget he has played for a long time and has impeccable timing.

It may seem like he is not using much of an action but he is using his wrist very effectively.  You must hit a lot of balls to time the ball that well and hit such effective and consistent shots.
