Match Analysis
By Samson Dubina

Many players say that they are planning to do some video analysis during this time of isolation. That’s great! But what are you looking at? There are two general categories (Technique and Tactics) and some subtle smaller categories. Let’s take a look at five elements of the technique and give elements of their tactics.

This outline below can be used to study any player. But for an illustration, we are going to use the 2019 China Open Final between Ma Long and Tomokazu Harimoto game two.

 
 
 
 
So, I asked the question on facebook...
 
"If you got hourly pay of what you SHOULD get, how much would you get paid? How much is your time worth?"
 
I received many responses via messenger and on my wall.  Some people said $30 or $40 or $200 per hour.  These people value their time.  So let's use $50/hour as an example.   What if I told you that I could save you 150 hours of time?  So 150 x 50 = $7500.  That would be worth $7500, right?
 
So how does this relate to table tennis????????

Wang:  Hey Bob, how are you doing this tournament?
 
Bob:  This is the worst I have ever played!  I haven’t touched a racket for two weeks then on my first match that long-pips guys messed up my stroke and now I don’t know what to do.
 
Wang:  Well, let’s practice.
 
After the practice…
 
Wang:  Yeah, you aren’t on top of your game.
 
Bob:  My strokes are terrible, I’m just not looping the ball like I used to.
