waist rotation trick!

From reading on the Bokett forums, there's one very simple and effective way to get to know the feeling of weight transfer between legs and waist rotation. I've found it very useful...

Sit on a swiveling chair. Have your legs slightly wider than your shoulders(this is essential!). Then try to make your whole upper body face right/left. You'll find that it's impossible to do that without your legs moving. You definitely have to engage your legs to do that.

That's the trick! The feeling of weight transfer during FH and BH loops is almost exactly the same as making your upper body face right/left on a swiveling chair.

Hope you guys find it useful!

Thank you very much for the tip. It is very helpful.

thank u very much,

i hope from the video can show a lot, even it was in Japanese 

Cool trick, will be trying that for sure.

Another trick I use to make my body turn is using the non playing arm.  I lift my left arm and move it until it is horizontal and parallel to the table bottom line, that makes my whole body turn right. Then, when I make the stroke I pull back my left elbow, until my fingers reach the hip. You can check Ma Long's loop technique to see how's it's meant to be done.

Awesome, now you can practice your loops at work :))

I'm dizzy now from all this practice...

She was counting "One, Two, One, Two..."

Have the length between your feet longer than the length between your shoulders. or, in other words, have the left foot on the left of your left shoulder and your right foot on the right of your right shoulder. Then it's much harder to do it without the legs moving.

Incontestably the best thread of the year so far imho.

Thanks so much, fatt!  What do you think about using the frisbee analogy for rpb?

Thanks, pushchop.  My coach tells me to use my wrist more (like you said).  I think I've been reluctant because my wrist gets sore.  Does the soreness go away?
