Simple Secrets : Fom Newbie become "PRO" Table Tennis Player in 1 month

                The first thing before we learn how to  become pro ping pong player in 4 weeks daily play @1.5 hours, is the rules of ping pong and the predicate / skill that we have to remember to learn from here.
Basic Skills :  
1.       Serve :the first ball  hit that begin the match
2.       Return : return the ball without adding any spin
3.       Top Spin : spin forward the ball
4.       Chop / backspin : spin backward the ball
5.       Smash : hit the ball hard and fast
6.       Block : return any smash / spin that added to the ball without spin it back
7.       Side spin : spin the ball from right to the left or conversely (bat is under the ball)
8.       Slice spin : spin the ball from left to the right or conversely (bat is beside the ball)\
     Number 3, 4, 7, & 8 are often become a good serve, look at this  video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGFfwHbi_gQ . It s short video that contains chop, slice, and side spin serves.  Make sure to learn and master those 8 basics to improve your skills. Then you can go to the strategy section.

1.Deflection and heating

     First of all, make sure to do a heating and deflection to your hand every time you begin to play or training. Because the secret to master any spin skills is how deflect is your hand. That’s why almost all pro players wipe their hand to the table after doing a long rally


2.       Return heavy speed but light spin serves
If you find opponents that often use speed serve, and their serve placements are good (it goes to right or left side), the secret to return this  serves is : stand your body forward about ½ meter from the table, focus on the opponent hand and serve direction (right or left). Try to make the angel of your bat is rather than 180%  / the surface rather facing to very little down to make it easier to control. If you can, it s better to return to your backhand opponent side or forehand if your opponent has weaker forehand side than backhand

3.         Return heavy speed and spin serves

      The 2nd  serve is rather different than the 1st , but it s almost same. The difference only located to the angle facing bat. If you opponents serve the fast top spin, so the angle must face further down than above.  If your enemy do a chop fast serve, so  return with chop too, but with gently and fast. And the face direction is like the 3rd picture. Just move your hand forward and do not spin the ball except with your deflected hand. If your hand is not deflected enough, it will touch net when you spin. So just move forward hand

4.        Return slice / side spin serve

      This one is the hardest serve. Many players only return back this serve without spin it. So the ball will get the spin impact. If your opponents use sidespin serve from left to the right spin so the ball will rotated by the spin. If you ONLY return it, the ball will not placed correctly, it will go to your left side / your right opponents side. It may become out. Or at slice spin, it will float. The best solution is, you must face the bat almost facing the up side like picture, then make back spin from that direction. It will mute the spin impact and you can place it correctly as your own. But it s still better to hit back to your weak opponent side, right or left

5.        How to smash any spined ball ?

    About this smash, you have to have confidence tosmash the spinned ball + little think of your brain. Because there are theory about it, smash it against the spin direction. If your opponents use top spin, so use top spin on smash. If he use backspin, smash it wit back spin too. If he use die spin from right to left side direction, so smash with left to right direction too. Have you understood ? If the ball is getting lower, so add the spim direction, t will lift the ball up and add the speed

6. How to Block Smash ?

    The last is Blocking. If it s possible, smash back your opponents smash, thats easier than blocking it, cause yo dont effense your opponens. But, if your opponent's smash go to the hard direction, so the only answer is block / return it. The secret to block it is only use your heart when block it. Then try to return to hard palce like corner / side line.

Badminton Basic for Beginner

As a beginner, you should learn the basics BEFORE learning how to hit badminton shots.In fact, you should get your basics right from the start or else you will develop bad habits that will restrict you from becoming a pro player.
The basics that I highly recommend you learn are...
Basic Gripping Technique

The correct way of holding a racquet is as simple as a FRIENDLY HANDSHAKE. Imagine the grip of the racquet as a hand approaching to shake your hand. Go ahead and hold the racquet as if you're shaking someone's hand.
To achieve this, make sure you:
  • Do not grip your racquet too tightly. This will make your wrist less flexible in rotating and flicking.
  • Use ONLY your thumb, index, and middle finger to control the racket. Your last 2 fingers should rest comfortably on the badminton grip to balance the weight of the racquet. By doing this, it enables your wrist to be more flexible and move more freely.
Basically you'll need to use the:
  • Forehand grip to hit forehand shots. 
  • Backhand grip to hit backhand shots.
The forehand and backhand grip looks almost the same. There's only one slight difference - the placement of your fingers. You'll understand this when I explain more about these 2 badminton gripping technique below.
Pro Players Switch Grips Quickly
You should learn to switch quickly from the forehand to backhand grip, and vice versa.This enables you to quickly prepare for your strokes and hit the shuttle at the highest point, hence delivering quality shots. 
As you play badminton at a higher level, you'll find yourself switching between these 2 grips WITHOUT EVEN THINKING!
Basic Footwork
       Many people neglect badminton footwork because it might not seem important at all.You might hear some people say "why care about footwork when I can do a 300km/h smash". Are you thinking that way too? However I would say that the footwork is THE most important skill you should master. It's even more important than smashing!
      Playing badminton is all about speed. The shuttlecock can move extremely fast and you must move faster than the shuttlecock to be able to hit it.
Always remember your base (starting point) will be at the red dot in the middle. The arrows indicates the possible movements around the court.

Every time you move away from your base to hit the shuttle, you MUST QUICKLY return to your base to prepare yourself for your opponent's shot

For instance, you move to point A to take a shuttle and then stay there. Your opponent then returns the shuttle back to you at point B. You are less likely able to get to point B in time from point A.

Conversely, if you quickly return to your base after hitting the shuttle at point A, you will definitely be able to return the shuttle at point B.
Badminton Serve
A WEAK serve often creates a chance for your opponent to execute an attacking shot. Therefore it's important to know how to serve properly so that you will not lose a point after making a service.
1. The High Badminton Serve
This type of serve is usually executed when you want the shuttle to land at the back end of the court. A good high serve must have the shuttle dropping steeply downwards at the back end of the court.
A high serve will prevent your opponent from executing a strong smash. Instead, a lob or a drop is more expected from your opponent (unless they can do a jump smash).
Try to serve the shuttlecock to your opponent's backhand area. The objective is to force your opponent to use his backhand. This is because most badminton players, even world class player, have weaker backhands (compared to their forehands)
Let me show you how to do a high serve...


Hold the head of the shuttlecock with its head facing downwards so that the shuttlecock will drop straight down. Stand sideways (the side of your body facing the net) and relax your racquet arm (arm that is holding the racquet).Let go of the shuttlecock and swing your racquet arm upwards. As you do this, twist your waist to the extent that your body faces the net. Flick your wrist towards the direction you want the shuttle to land (Flick your wrist upwards, so that the shuttlecock will fly high).Your back leg should lift up naturally (with your toes touching the ground).

2. The Low Badminton Serve
he low serve is used when you want the shuttlecock to land in front of the court (in front of your opponent).
A GOOD low serve will have the shuttlecock flying JUST ABOVE THE NET.
If not, your opponent will have the chance to dash forward and smash the shuttle down to you.
A low serve, when executed beautifully, prevents your opponent from making an offensive shot.
Let me show you how to do a low serve...

Hold the feather of the shuttlecock with the head of the shuttlecock facing downwards.
Position the racquet behind the shuttlecock.
Step slightly forward with your right (left) leg if you are right handed (left handed).
As you let go of the shuttlecock, flick your racquet lightly while pushing your thumb forward towards the direction you want the shuttle to land. The power comes mainly from the push of your thumb and the slight flick of your wrist.

Badminton Stance

1. Attacking Stance
You'll need to use this stance whenever you hit an overhead forehand stroke
To get into the attacking stance,
  • Turn your body facing the side of the court. 
  • Place your racket leg behind; your non-racket leg forward. 
  • Both legs should be shoulder width apart. 
  • Raise your racket and non-racket arm
Hitting forehand strokes via the attacking stance enables you to hit powerful shots. It also enables you to recover quickly after you perform your shot.
When to use?
Whenever your opponent lifts or clear the shuttle high up to you, move towards the shuttle and adopt the attacking stance. 
2. Defensing stance
The key to strong defense is to retrieve your opponent's smash via the defensive stance.
To get into the defensive stance,
  • Face your body to the front of the court. 
  • Place your racket in front of you, around waist height, and pointing slightly forward. 
  • Raise your non-racket arm for better balance.
When you're on a defensive stance, you can cover wider angles. For example, you'll find it a lot easier to retrieve smashes hit to your body, left hand side, or right hand side.
When to use?
Whenever you hit a High Clear or perform a High Serve, move to your base position and adopt the defensive stance.
Ideally, you want to be at your base position before your opponent hits the attacking shot.
3. Net Stance
The net stance enables you to take the shuttle at the highest point when you're at the net.
When exchanging net shots, every millisecond counts! So make sure you take the shuttle as early as possible.
To get into the net stance,
  • Place your racket foot forward; non-racket foot at the back.
  • Place your racket in front of your body, slightly above waist height. 
  • Raise your non-racket arm for body balance. 
  • Place your body weight slightly forward and get ready to pounce forward. 
When to use?
Normally the only time you need to adopt the net stance is after you perform a Tumbling net short
Your body's posture will naturally be on the badminton net stance after you hit the tumbling net shot. So STAY THERE and be ready to pounce forward to perform the Net kill if your opponent hits a net shot.

Badminton Rules

        You won't feel lost in the middle of your games. Imagine a situation when you're not aware of the score and your game has actually finish. Let's say you're playing singles. Your opponent is waiting to shake your hand at the net where as you're preparing for your next service. How embarrassing things could turn up!
       You can even call a fault on your opponent if he or she tries to break the rules to gain some advantage in the game.
You'll enjoy badminton even more when you play according to the proper rules.
Let's begin with some simple badminton rules...
1. How to Play Badminton?
In very simple terms...
A rally starts with a serve.
A rally ends when:
  • the shuttle touches the ground or get caught by the net.
  • someone commits a fault.
You'll be awarded with ONE point when you win a rally. Win 21 rallies and you'll win the game. 
2. Badminton Court Size and Measurement
3. Who serves at the first time ?
In official tournaments, we toss a coin to decide who starts first. 
In casual games, this doesn't really matter. Different countries have different interesting ways to decide who serves first.
In Malaysia and Australia, we hit the shuttle high up into the air and let it fall to the ground. If the head of shuttlecock points towards my side on the floor, I'll serve.
4. In Out Boundaries (Singles and Doubles)
Service boundaries. Serve to the gray area. If your serve land on the court within the gray area, you get a point. 


In/Out Boundaries. After the receiver retrieves the serve, the yellow area becomes the In/Out boundaries. If the shuttlecock lands anywhere within the yellow area, you get a point.


and what happens when the shuttlecock falls on the line between the Inside and Outside area of the court? the answer is, it considered as enside the court
5. Badminton Scoring System - 21 Points
6. Badminton Fouls or Fault
Basically there are 5 types of faults in badminton.
  • Contact Fault
  • Over the Net Fault
  • Service Fault
  • Receiver Fault
  • Doubles Hit
8. Badminton Rules for Doubles
The rules for singles and doubles are the same! However the rules might get a little messy with doubles since there are 2 players on the court.

Real meaning of patience

Patience is a word we hear very often. When we are having stricken friend, who first said the word "patient". Because God promises that those who always real patient will get happiness.

However, many people who have misinterpreted the word of this patient. According to some people the patient is still with the test at hand. Surrender to God without doing anything.

We should understand that the essence of patience itself is not only silent on what happens to us. Did not God has made it clear that he will only change when the people, a people change their own destiny. Including when we get into trouble.

Abandonment is indeed necessary, but resigned as if it was? That is surrender to God together with our maximum efforts to God.

Some pamaham wrong that silence is just silence without any thing done. We should know that consciously not just sit waiting for God to change our destiny, while none of what we do. Some understanding of patient below may make you more aware of the patient's own.

First, the patient is to suppress emotions and desires. So, when we say patiently but our emotions are still bobbing, it was not a patient. Patience is the suppression of emotions and desires within himself so as not to create things that are not desirable.

Second, the patient is self-control. In terms of patience, we should be able to control ourselves in many ways. Sometimes, we are not controlled because of the negative stimulus from the outside. This is the importance of emotional control or patient itself.

Third, think long. When we are in trouble then have to decide something, should we think long before deciding. This is where the patient occurs. Patience does not mean surrender to circumstances, but our patience is a real action in accepting the terms of God by thinking in deciding something.

Fourth, forgive. Patience means to forgive the mistakes of others. This life will never be separated from an error. Sometimes, mistakes someone makes us hurt would be difficult to undo. This is where God tests our patience level. Do we want to forgive him or still hate it. []

Beware of the heart virus

TERMS virus widely known as computer controlled technology. Virus, is a kind of computer program that is deliberately created by experts for different purposes. Most of it has been negative. Typically, these programs would undermine the existence of existing programs, so unreadable and can be applied.

Because it is so, then the term is much attached to things that are harmful. However, for certain people, the presence of this virus became some keberutungan, for example, a service provider, or the maker of a rival program called antivirus. Why? Because it back to the person, how to take advantage of everything that exists and is a potential that must be maintained and directed.

Likewise with the heart. According to al-Ghazali, the liver can have extraordinary abilities, but otherwise the liver also can not have anything if hindered by problems below:

1. There is a veil (hijab), which is usually a pleasure in life, namely the issue of sensory and worldly. Then hubbuddunya (love of the world) is a serious veil.

2. Dirt liver caused by many sins. Heart like a mirror. Each committed one sin means obtaining black dot on it. The more sins, the more noktahnya, the greater the sin, the greater the noktahnya. To be sure, the more dots getting dirty even the heart will darken it.

"Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and hearing, and their eyes closed. And for those who amak severe torment. "(QS. Al-Baqarah: 7)

3. Turning hearts toward others

4. Lack of willingness of the heart itself

5. Be not know the direction that should be addressed

"Do they not walked the earth, and they have hearts with which they can understand and have ears with which they can hear? The real because it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind, is the heart in the chest. "(Qur'an, Al-Hajj: 46)

Blind the heart is much more dangerous than a blind eye, because people who are blind can damage the heart and whatever anyone there, including himself.
