Hello everyone!
In this week´s episode we are demonstrating a forgotten table tennis technique – the Seemiller grip. The Seemiller grip was invented in the 1970’s by the legendary American table tennis player Dan Seemiller. It differs from the shakehold grip because you play both forehand and backhands strokes with the same rubber.
About Dan Seemiller:
Danny Seemiller is an American table tennis coach and former professional player. He was the United States Olympic head coach. He has an unorthodox playing style called the Seemiller grip, which he is famous for inventing in the 1970s.
Seemiller began playing table tennis as an early adolescent in the 1960s. By 1972, he was the top player on the U.S. Men’s National Team. He won five United States Men’s Singles Championships (1976, 1977, 1980, 1982, and 1983). Seemiller reached #19 in the World Rankings and is considered one of the best American table tennis athletes of all time.
From 1990 to 1995 he served as President of United States Table Tennis Association (now called USA Table Tennis). He was inducted into the USA Table Tennis Hall of Fame in 1995.
In 1996, he moved to New Carlisle, Indiana and became the head coach for the South Bend Table Tennis Club. At South Bend, he has developed top US players Mark Hazinski, Joey Cochran, Jared Lynch, A.J. Brewer, and Dan Seemiller Jr, all of whom are former members of the US National Team.
