DVD Reviews of Advanced Table Tennis
DVD Review: Worthwhile coaching video
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have never had any coaching before, this video is worth the money, especially if you are an amateur like me who just wants to improve their game.
It starts with the basics like how to hold the bat - (I didnt hold mine correctly) but quickly moves on to more meaty stuff. It was the right level for a good amateur who wants to move beyond wacking the ball and who wants to get consistency and to win games a bit more often.
Has many good tips, it is arguably better value than a human coach if only because you can watch it many times and pick up new stuff each time..
As a result of watching this video I have corrected a couple of basic bad habits. Having a good "ready position" means you are less likely to try to play a backhand shot when a forhand shot would have been a better option. Starting a shots too early was another bad habit of mine - but its good to know I share these bad habits with just about everyone else!
DVD Review: Helpful DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
It's hard for me to compare this with other instructional table tennis DVDs because this is the first one I've tried. After shopping around, my distinct impression is that the market is not exactly flooded with products.
The best thing I can say about this DVD is that it acutally gave me some pointers that I found useful immediately...especially under neutral position, timing and consistency. Stuff that is fairly commonsensical but just helped to have spelt out in black-and-white.
However, there were some minuses (and potential minuses - depending on what you are looking for) as well.
For one thing, it doesn't go into much depth or analysis. More along the lines of, "okay here is topspin versus backspin" then hit the ball back and forth a few times to show example and then, "okay here is topspin versus block" etc... Actually, I didn't think it needed anything more - and I guess that's why they call it advanced table tennis...but just a warning.
Also, the production value won't knock your socks off - but did you expect any different?
My biggest complaint actually (rather petty) is that the coach, Christian Lilleroos, doesn't turn his microphone off during the exercises....which means you get groans, gasps, heavy breathing on the soundtrack. Now I'm not someone who is against heavy breathing on DVD soundtracks - but not on instructional table tennis DVDs thanks.
The whole thing is fairly sparse but it tells you what you need and covers it fairly well.
