Nonsense. The looper's real problem was timing not paddle speed. |

I was thinking more about the product itself than the internal logic of the advert.

I'm hardpresed to see this product providing any significant positive effect. The time spent doing what you'd do with it would be much better spent hitting balls with a robot or multiball with someone else.

I guess it's like a TT-specific workout - focussing on the muscle groups needed during active strokes. That part could be the snake oil, obviously. I don't understand your point about the use of time though - it can be done at home instead of picking your nose, or while watching TV. So in addition to all the other wonderful things you mention, but without the need for tables, robots, people, etc.

No, this won't be particularly helpful. The guy was not putting the ball into the net at the beginning of the video because of any lack of strength!

Ha ha lol yes chortle the advert is mental.
Is resistance training of no use at all in TT then? I mean, I love you guys because you're cynical and everything, but... |

Ah, I obviously hadn't gotten my coffee yet or something like that when I wrote that... I was thinking the product had to be attached to a TT table (as shown in the video)... duh. Edited by Pondus - 04/15/2015 at 4:28pm |

He was certainly Cho-ing with greater force after the exercise.
 I know it's popular to dismiss stuff like this, but to respond to your original question, Andy, yes, these kinds of exercises can only help a player's sport specific fitness. |

I have suffered with shoulder problems. I like the idea of using the product as a muscle strengthening tool for help in recovery from injury. What's the price?

I'm pretty sure this exercise is jurry-rigged by pretty much every higher level TT player anyway. I see videos of pros doing stuff with resistance bands here and there. When I was hitting it serious for a bit, I would go to the gym and Throw on some resistance bands like this and do shadow strokes with the falkenberg or something, and it helped a lot.
Medicine balls are good too- I see Dima post vids of him throwing those bad boys so hard. I think for most of us, the fact that we do anything at all is helpful haha.

How exactly is this different from a generic resistance band? Just the connecting to the table and the different handle?

Why not give it a try....seems to help those guys!
I know pro Tennis players do a 10 - 15 minute warm up with similar thing - they tie it to the net post and they go through most of their shots. I would say atleast 80% of them go through those routines.

I was about to ask the same thing... you could just wrap a resistance band around the leg of the table and do just as well. That said I do think this would actually be a decent tool because it will force the player to use body rotation and weight shift in order to pull the band. Repeating that motion with just arm muscles on a high resistance band would be fairly difficult.
