Hi Dos,
I love Timo Boll's style. His forehand is something special.

hey coach, i find my backhand topspin a little bit weird, because when i hit it and it lands on my opponents side of the table , it tends to be curling away facing left, why is that?
regards....
p.s , i find difficult to mimic timo's serve and forehand, is there something special about his technique?
If the ball is curving it will be that your bat isn't flat when you are contacting the ball. Focus on the tip of your bat and adjust it both up and down and see if you can get the ball going straight. It will mean you are getting better topspin on the ball.
Trying to copy Timo's play is difficult. Just keep watching him and see if you can get it right.

I enjoy watching Timo play and there's a wealth of lessons from his style for any table tennis enthusiast. First of all, while there are some world class players who beat you with their blazing footwork, Timo beats you with his balance (of course, all world class players have great balanace, but I notice this particularly with Timo). Second, I admire his backhand. To me it's like on the other end of the spectrum from, say, Kreanga's. He doesn't belt the ball with his whole body like Kreanga does. It's a very compact motion with mostly wrist action. It's not the most fierce backhand in table tennis but he gets great spin with it and still generates power on the counter attack. And of course, his serves are pretty wicked!
