Multiball feeding tips

It helps to have a bucket with very wide top because it is easier to pick up balls with left hand without looking.  Having it on a rolling platform is really helpful too.

Chinese coaches here sometimes bounce on table and sometimes don't depending on shots they are training.   For me it is harder to deliver a good ball without bouncing.  I am getting better with practice. Finding the perfect bucket helped a lot.

bouncing the ball on the table before hitting it from right behind the net on the left side (for right handed feeders) is simply easier to learn; the feeder in the video above is showing absolute top class feeding in terms of tempo regularity. He is simply amazing.

Thanks for the suggestions. Rhythm and Tempo - that's what I am missing. I have difficulty maintaining a constant rhythm (this could be because I have box holding the balls on the table as opposed to off to the side of the table - as Baal suggested proper holder might help).

There is many ways to feed (bounce or not), and places to stand.
There is no right and wrong, or best or better, but depends what you want to achieve.

Bouncing the ball is slower though, so for fast frequencies, you won't see coaches bouncing.
Standing by net, half way, or end of the table also have different reasons.

At the end of the day, any body can become a good feeder.
watch and learn, and then feed few thousdan balls a day

Sure thing,
Obviously, closer towards the player, the ball will be coming faster, and focus more on footwork than oppose to stroke. There is more speed than oppose to spin generated from the feeder.

At back of the table, the ball takes longer to travel, and the arc is more "match like", and this is more realistic in terms of spin and speed but for top level players as this is both footwork and stroke. (Imagine a 10 - 20 ball rally being close to the table.)
Feeding from back of the table is also more tiring for the feeder.

The whole idea for us (non pros) is the feeding speed need to be faster than what we can handle, so it make us move and improves.

Imagine some one feed for you from far from the table, but does a bounce feed and low frequency. Your movement will be non existant, and the whole training will do more harm than good etc.

I will feed at the net for beginners and mostly it is mid to far for the rest.

Here is a mid and long video from my FB album with mortal players

I like it!! I think I will start to incorporate some more multiball into our practices.

Not sure if it is just me but, i feel with Cpen it is easier to feed without bounce, while SH, I can feed with both bounce or no bounce.

Probably the most important feed to get good at first is the underspin feed and that is always a bounce feed. You want to try to keep the bounce as low as possible and still strike the ball. Allot of the sequences you see the pros do almost always start off with a underspin ball fed off the bounce and then topspin balls fed out of the hand.
