Several details that determine the level of table tennis

1. Grip method

Hold the racket at the tiger's mouth on the horizontal board and stick it to the right side of the racket. At this point, you can feel that the racket can be gently clamped with your thumb and index finger. Pay attention to being gentle, that is, dragging the racket with your left hand can feel a bit tight, while the other three fingers naturally grip the handle of the racket. When swinging forward, the index finger can press against the racket, and when pulling the ball, the index finger can move slightly towards the head of the racket, increasing positive pressure on the racket.

Did you lift your heel when receiving the serve?

I believe most golfers will not or will not do this, but watching the video of Zhang Jike and other players and some amateur players preparing for the game, they all lift their heels off the ground at the moment of the other party's serve, with their knees slightly bent, allowing their legs to move flexibly like springs.

3. Is the racket higher than the table when hitting the ball?

Whether it is a forehand attack or a backhand draw or bounce, as long as the impact is the main focus, the racket cannot be led off the table. Forehand attack is backward, which means turning the waist to drive the upper arm to rotate simultaneously. However, the racket must be kept above or parallel to the table, so as to obtain a fast and short path when swinging the ball forward. Friction balls are an exception!

4. Recovery path after attack

Relaxation and recovery after an attack are very important. After a forehand attack, gravity shifts from the left leg to the right leg, and the forearm naturally falls and relaxes. Then, as the waist rotation is completed, recovery is achieved while maintaining a reasonable hitting angle with the wrist. Because the ball is Topspin after the attack, the shape must not tilt backward, but also not too forward, to achieve the stability of the shot.

5. The function of the wrist

It is often seen that some players pay special attention to the role of the wrist in pulling the ball, thinking that the wrist can be used to pull more, but in fact, there is no need to deliberately move the wrist. As long as you perform other movements in place, the wrist will in most cases serve as a fixed shape and auxiliary arc. As long as other movements are in place and power transmission is reasonable, the role of the wrist will naturally be reflected. For amateur players, the role of the wrist is mainly reflected in picking and bouncing the ball, and the feeling of the wrist when the backhand pulls down the spinning ball is like a swing.

6. Where are the legs when picking?

Place your thighs under the table, but do not insert them too deeply. Taking the forehand platform as an example, simply step your right foot about 10 cm into the platform, then move the gravity to the front of your hands and feet, hold them with both hands, and place them from the platform. Use your wrist to perform movements based on the rotational nature of the incoming ball, and then follow the ball picking motion. After picking, push your right foot firmly onto the ground and try to regain gravity as much as possible backwards for a period of time.

7. How far is the racket from the body when pulling the ball with a backhand?

The preparation space for backhand racquet is small, the racket should be tightly pressed against the body, and the waist should be inward, indicating that someone has punched and bent inward. Leave a certain stroke for the swing and be sure to hold your abdomen when swinging forward. With this solid foundation, swing can achieve better acceleration.

8. Every powerful pull is sideways.

If you can't pull horizontally, you don't know what a storm is. Only with one foot in front and one foot behind can it be called a side pull. It is impossible to draw a strong arc with two feet parallel
