We used higher net for similar aim. What is bad - because of that spin, speed of ball and hit tempo together with movement is reduced drastically ((((
So for starting amateur this excercise is good but for advanced players like were in the video this quality of topspin is just a weak one.

Tbh I don't think they're that bad...
On the second video, I can definitely hear the sound of him pushing the ball hard, I don't think it's that easy to loop a heavy Kim Taek Soo push. I can imagine that a KTS push would be like a crazy robot like underspin which is why they're struggling bad in the beginning. |
Yeah agree, they are advanced players at least they powerlooped KTS pushes couple of times even without any changes from his side. What I mean: that pushes could be even flipped with proper angle of a bat. What he was showing -- girlish or old fashioned topspin with radial direction of palm incline, the same for wrist and shoulder. Not so powerful, pretty spinny but very slow.
Agree first time you use robot with such spins feel insane, but in a while you are used to those and powerloop easily. The only thing that changes is legs spread (width) and positioning.
And of course I can be mistaken and do not get what he actually meant))) |
Yes they had to do that to even get the ball over the net lol, they do not have anywhere close enough to the brushing strength required to powerloop these.
I think sometimes the true measure of playing level is spin and brushing levels for inverted players. If I'm playing a weaker opponent I can powerloop all their pushes without any issues at all and look like Ma Long, and they wouldn't even be able to loop half of my pushes. Against a better player, it's so easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of spin in their pushes (I still remember the one time I played this penholder, when I missed his push, it fell to the ground and started spinning back towards him like a boomerang, it was so ridiculous... But yeah he's a guy who could spot me maybe 5 points lol, his serves and pushes were so ridiculously spinny that they were downright close to unloopable, and he could loop my heaviest serves/pushes without even breaking a sweat).
My takeaway from the KTS video is that, if you can't brush hard, it doesn't matter if your stroke structure is perfect you will still struggle especially against heavy pushes because the spin just ain't there. The body/stroke structure almost doesn't even matter, coz if you have a strong brushing power in your fingers you can generate huge amounts of spin with ease which makes pretty much everything better regardless of your stroke structure.
