SORRY, I CAN'T GET VIDEO TO WORK Just coming back to TT after 7 years and this technique feels more consistent than pivoting at elbow on FH |

| I'm a bit reluctant to download that file, could you maybe upload it to YouTube and then link/ embed the video that way? |

It's safe. The OP's stroke is ok, against a robot. Once playing against another player, you will face timing problems. ------------- Viscaria FL - 91g + Neo H3 2.15 Blk - 44.5g(55.3g uncut bare) + Hexer HD 2.1 Red - 49.3g(68.5g 〃 〃) = 184.8g |

| You should try to play more forwards, less upwards. And zeio got a good point: You won't have enough time in a match with that stroke. |

What kinds of balls is the robot producing? ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball... Stiga Cybershape Carbon FH: GT BH: GT Lumberjack TT, not for lovers of beautiful strokes. No time to train... |

It's normal to lengthen out your stroke as you either get more time or are deeper in the court. The question (as everyone is pointing out) is that a longer stroke takes longer to recover. Do you have time with that stroke to hit the next ball if it comes back quickly? |

The key in TT is the use of the body especially on the lower body. Although it looks like the pros are moving the hand a lot, the arm is actually not moving a lot relative to the body - it is being dragged along by the body, and there is a lot of body rotation involved. I would probably concentrate on getting all the basic lower body mechanisms correct first (weight transfer, hip rotation, along with the correct feet and knee movements). This may require a lot of rethinking about the stroke. ------------- ------- Viscaria FH: Hurricane 8-80 BH: D05 Back to normal shape bats :( |
