Looks like you are very inexperienced when it comes to drugs.
While i like to play using Ritalin , I would not want to play stoned on weed.
Like day and night really.
P.S. Not everybody who lives here is a kiwi, I am a very sophisticated person you know.

My problem is that the cheap chinese rubbers are not sticky anymore,

Hahaha can’t you get new ones?

Club level players pushes are like weird, totally weird.
You loop hard and the ball goes too long.
You loop soft and they can kill your loop.
It is darn difficult to find the middle path.

Yeah you are right its annoying. I found that the best way to deal with it is to play a middle ground, not too fast, not too spinny. I found that every push they do is different, one time it can come with heavy underspin, another time it can come dead, you need to watch the ball and adjust

You're the Technical Table Tennis guy from YouTube right? If your goal is to fake some engagement on the forum before you start pushing your content I kind of respect it but you don't need to make posts like this to reach your goal of having the highest score on the forum.

In truth, none of the posts in this thread seem to be the kind of posts that would help him get to the top of the leader board.

What do you mean? Why should i not make posts like these?

I can't manage balls with lateral effect. Can't receive them, can't generate them.

Clearly you can play. I have a feeling you will find your footing on the forum. But most of the content in this thread is fairly thin.

There is nothing wrong with having posts like the one you and ThePongCommenter are talking about. But I think you can post better content, especially if your goal is to be at the top of the leader board.

You might even think about reading some of the content that gets the most likes from other forum members and see how the members who are getting those likes express their views and what might cause other people to hit the like button on their content. Often the people who are at the top of the leader board are people whose comments get lots of likes, rather than simply being people who have made a lot of posts.

[edit: looking through a second time: there are a few posts that are decent. Just most of the comments lack substance. And my sense is, you probably could add the substance if you wanted to take the time.]

Cmon man, the biggest problem is your mindset. Why do you suck?

Also, worth noting that Brs is actually a pretty decent level player. That would just be knowing your audience.

I can't manage balls with lateral effect. Can't receive them, can't generate them.

With a backspin ball, to compensate for the spin, you touch the bottom of the ball which propels it forward (instead of down). Without gravity a backspin ball would curve up. With gravity it ends up having a flat trajectory because the spin is trying to get it to curve up and gravity is pulling down.

With a heavy topspin ball, you contact the top of the ball to keep the ball from popping up and that helps you project the ball forward. A topspin ball curves down towards the table.

So, in both instances above, to do the simplest thing and compensate for the spin, you contact the side of the ball that the spin is causing the ball to curve away from: backspin, the ball would curve up without gravity: you contact the ball from under. Topspin, the ball curves down so you contact the top of the ball.

With a sidespin ball that curves towards the FH side, you would want to contact the side of the ball on the BH side.

With a sideespin ball that curves towards your BH side, you would want to contact the side of the ball on the FH side.

What exact spot on the side would depend on a number things including how much spin is on the ball.

Now, this is not the only way to handle spin. That is simply how to compensate for the spin that is on the ball so this would be the simplest way to start to learn to handle different variations of sidespin.

A good player should be able to push topsin and loop backspin; and go right at the heaviest part of a sidespin and add to it. But to start out, if you can't handle sidespin, it would be worth first learning how to see it and compensate for the spin (path of least resistance).

Corkscrew spin is more complicated and I am not going to bother with it because it is kind of a whole different subject and it is fairly rare.

Oh that’s nice why is he saying that he sucks then😂

I've tried. My usual rubbers that used to be tacky/sticky are coming grippy, barely lifting the ball on the vertical test

If I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong:

You are one of the two individuals from the Technical Table Tennis Youtube Channel. This much is obvious from your avatar, username, and your repeated recommendation of the YouTube Channel in your first few posts here. For as long as "content creators" have been a thing, it is very common to see these "content creators" join online communities under the guise of wanting to join the discussion but almost always, they end up just trying to push their content to get more views and engagement. I am not saying for sure you are doing this but I am just saying this is something that you constantly see with content creators and a lot of your early comments give off that vibe.

And the fact that you have just joined and already have posted twice to recommend your YouTube channel to other users, neither of which mentions that it is your channel, makes it look to people like you are secretly advertising for your YouTube instead of being up front about who you are.

But anyways, while you are here, why don't you tell us more about Technical Table Tennis? It seems that your videos are tagged with an Arizona location usually. Are you two both players from Arizona? What is your training and playing background? The channel states nothing more than

"In 2018 I visited my local table tennis club and fell in love. I learned the basic strokes, serves, and tactics of the game. I want to share with you what I have learned and what I am currently improving on in my own game. Grab your paddle, get a partner and watch my table tennis tutorials to learn with me. "

by a guy named Jin Jeon who sounds American, tags his videos as being in America (Arizona), but doesn't seem to have any tournament records or match videos anywhere online. Can you tell us more about his and your background, and why someone should take coaching from these relatively unknown people, one of which only started learning table tennis somewhat recently, when there are YouTube channels out there from well known and respected coaches and players who aren't mysteries?

It is darn difficult to find the middle path.

Loop relatively soft but low and forward. The forward spin on the low balls makes them spinnier and faster. It is looping upwards that makes the ball spinny but slow.
