Forehand:
- flipping
- looping backspin farther from the table
- looping to the forehand corner when the ball is in the middle of the table
- pushing, esp. returning deep pushes
- looping controlled forehands more in the 5-8 foot range
Backhand:
- use shoulder turn more on all topspin shots
- more consistency on backhand
- flipping
- backhand openers
- learn to loop backhands against topspin
- playing backhands more aggressively in the 5-8 foot range
Footwork:
- get away from table quicker after short game shots. Bouncing in and out. Backing off from the table enough to loop backhands and forehands
- bending my knees more
Strategy:
- pushing and transition to opening loop
- when to control loop versus aggressive loop
- a controlled looping, lower energy style
- varying spin on pushes
- controlling amount of spin in rallies better
- better concentration
Service:
- step farther from table after serving
- reverse pendulum third balls
- better reverse pendulum
- convex vs concave motions on reverse pendulum
- serving tomahawk from middle of table
- getting heavy backspin with tomahawk serve
- high(medium) toss forehand pendulum, esp. heavy backspin
Service Return:
- keeping weight on inside of feet for service return
- being a both less and more aggressive with service returns
Goodness that's a lot to work on. Many of them are situational. Focuses should be more controlled looping with forehand, more consistent backhand openers, more concentration, getting all service returns on the table, and getting all serves in. For the next month, all other motions other than forehand pendulum are only for variation, but should practice everything.
