Coming to a computer near you next week on the 6.12.17. But only in German at first, English, Japanese and Chinese planned for next year.
So far, apart from the website address and the release date there isn't much to go on as to what this will actually be although it is supposed to be useful for hobby-players all the way through to international players and improve everyone's game. In regards to unique selling point, the main thing this has so far is obviously the big star name. Other than that, there are so many free instructional videos of varying quality available and I am not sure what this can offer in addition. Perhaps a team of lower-level-coaches to check over all footage that is sent to them and write up feedback? Anyway, I'll most probably sign up for a trial or whatever it is they will offer.

Close. Part of the subscription service includes sending your own video for Boll's analysis and comments. |

I know that the guys at Ping Skills and TTEdge manage to send feedback to every subscriber that sends in a video. Brett Clarke said in a podcast that most players only send one video and then that's it, he never hears from them again. If people were more persistent with sending in footage he'd obviously not have enough time watch it all. Of course there is no way that Boll himself would be doing this but I am sure there are plenty of decent level coaches available, especially in Germany, who would appreciate this sort of work for a bit of extra income.

Considering the membership costs around a US$100, one would certainly expect Boll could spare some of his spare time to review member videos. They could put a limit on the video duration to say a few minutes top. If not, who is going to pay that much? Nonetheless, I feel that this coaching model doesn't really work. There is a certain aspect of stroke learning where words simply don't work and a real coach is irreplaceable. Over the years on Mytt, I think mickd is the only case that ever works. It takes two to tango. You may replace a real coach with a web coach, but you still need a good(read cooperating) partner to train with. |

I wish they would have released one of the explanation videos for free too. The 2 videos they released don't really show much. They seem more like teasers than educational videos. With the one off payment being less than 100 euros, I can imagine there being some good information in them, though! But wow! Those video analysis prices are crazy. I wonder if those prices include multiple correspondences. I don't understand what Timo is saying in that 6 minute video, but I can't imagine it being worth $500euros..
Thanks, zeio!! Still working on many things and reviewing a lot of my own videos!!

So far the feedback on tt-news is mixed at best. Boll's stingy analysis notwithstanding, many comments point out that Boll focused too much on the visual effects and post-production value, and does not have much else on offer that amateurs couldn't already find everywhere on the net. What I find surprising is that he has no clue how to coach beginners. Every instructional video on table tennis starts with the grip - no exception. Every real-life coach starts with the grip - no exception. Yet he doesn't have anything on grip! Unacceptable!
Keep up the good work. You're getting there. It's been a long way since your first video playing against the robot. |

I think Timo could enjoy watching some beginner videos, probably nonstop laughter for him. His expert analysis -- "You suck at table tennis. Maybe try badminton."
