Reviews/comments from forum thread (forum.oneofakindtrading.com.au)
I received the
Dan Seemiller/Mark Nordby "Complete Table Tennis" DVD set in the mail
today.
This is a comprehensive 2-DVD package that is three hours and twenty
minutes long. Seemiller says it covers the same information taught
during his week long seminars.
Although not the slickest special effects, the two-camera production is
more than adequate. There doesn't seem to be much editing. This is
mostly raw footage that makes you feel like you're actually attending a
seminar.
Slow motion would have been nice, but if you watch on your computer you
can easily slow down and analyze anything you want. The big feature here
is information and in that area there is more meat here by far than in
any other DVD I have seen.
Unlike the Samsonov and Killerspin DVDs that give a short explanation
and demonstration of various strokes, "Complete Table Tennis" offers a
detailed lecture on each topic (the looping section alone is 40 minutes
long) as well as an excellent demonstration of the strokes. The
information supplied is very deep and advanced. I had many "a'ha"
moments. There no way I could come close to absorbing everything this
video covers in one sitting. Next time I watch it I'll take notes.
There are twelve chapters:
Introduction
Fundamental Strokes
Advanced Strokes
General Principles
Serve Return
Short Game
Serving
Footwork
Multiball
Style Strategies
Long Pips
What's in a Player's Bag
Notes: Yes Seemiller uses the Seemiller grip throughout and does discuss
it briefly. He also mentioned his antispin side briefly, but no tips on
how to use it.....The section on long pips was how to play against it.
Nordby seemed very happy about the frictionless ban. They think LP
players can't attack.....While a lot of videos cater to beginners, this
one is advanced enough for players at high levels also.....Coverage of
serving, serve return and short game was superb and you feel that
Seemiller wasn't holding back on revealing his personal playing
secrets.....Seemiller and Nordby are diehard loopers and they teach an
attacking strategy, however Seemiller doesn't hit a lot of backhands so
as a pip player, I still felt that most the information applied to my
game -- especially since I have gone to an aggressive looping forehand
with Tenergy.
Although pricey at USD$79.95, I would still highly recommend this video
for players who are serious about taking their game to the highest level
they can attain. This DVD now sets the gold standard in which to measure
others against.
