I really liked the video lessons to date and have some requests for future ones.
1) how to do the flip (against short backspin, short topspin, and short dead balls)
2) forehand loop (including, looping against backspin - maybe as a whole separate video)
3) backhand loop (including, looping against backspin)
4) forehand cutting (both over the table and behind the table)
5) backhand cutting (both over the table and behind the table)
6) returning serve (different spins, long and short serves)
7) backhand smash, and generally how to hit backhand against high topspin shots
9) footwork
10) general tactics
I’d better stop there! Quite a lot already. Any of these would be great, and the more the better!

I would like you to give one lesson all on the topic of “spin”
I’m a beginner, and would like to learn more about spining the ball.

Sometimes people hit wicked topspin loops which are 90% spin and 10% pace. I know that if I just stick my bat out, the ball is going to spin off it and go a mile long. I know I’m supposed to keep my grip loose and swing through the ball. But it’s hard for me to relax when I see a monster loop these days. Some videos demonstrating how to play monster loops would be REALLY handy. Thanks!

I think out of my list provided earlier, the most helpful lesson at the moment would be one on footwork. This is especially so since I’ve find very little instructional video on this important (but often overlooked) skill in table tennis.

Thanks Ji-Soo,
Now that Serving Secrets Revealed has finally been completed, we are starting to plan a lot more lessons so we’ll definitely be taking another look at your list.
Cheers,
Jeff.

Hi Karl,
You must be reading our minds. We have just finished two lessons on chopping - one for the forehand and one for the backhand. We will be adding them to the website in the very short future so keep a look out for them.
And thanks for the other suggestions. Good luck with your Table Tennis.
