  1. Technique for old folks

    Nope, put LP on his racket and he will be forced to play less aggressive and safer. Lol
  2. How do you fit table tennis around a demanding job?

    There's a lot of footwork exercises you can do anywhere. Split step, lunge, etc...
  3. How do you use AI in table tennis?

    AI is useless in TT basically. The sport is not so easily described in words....
  4. bh flick vs (hard) bh flip

    There are many types of flick. FH flick: 1) The sinking FH flick - this creates a fast sinking ball with no topspin for the opponent to borrow and even has some low amounts of backspin. This is also what the pros use the most. Basic technique is literally like pushing a door with your palm...
  5. what happens when you get to THE POINT

    Chill man, just have fun playing. Dont be so serious.... Do what you feel is fun, and if it is no longer fun, maybe try doing something else you find fun.
  6. Discussion: Is it worth trying to slow the game down again?

    I have another theory why lots of sports are kinda declining - young people simply dont have the time or money to play anymore with generational wealth inequality and youth poverty increasing. A lot of young people are way more invested in actually getting a good job and having a roof over their...
  7. Discussion: Is it worth trying to slow the game down again?

    You need to use better AI bro, the free versions always hallucinates like crazy...
  8. Discussion: Is it worth trying to slow the game down again?

    That is some insane hallucination numbers for TT. You wouldnt even be able to react if these were the numbers.
  9. Discussion: Is it worth trying to slow the game down again?

    Badminton is actually way faster if you watch say a courtside side angle view. Then you can see it is crazy fast. It only looks slow because it is filmed from a top view. With doubles it is even faster. But TT is more fun and complex because of the spin. Serve return attack is very cat and...
  10. Discussion: Is it worth trying to slow the game down again?

    There are already a lot of very interesting and amazing topspin rallies, but you dont want the whole game to be like that. Same deception, cat and mouse play to get the 3rd ball attack is also very fun to watch. if you slowed down the game even more, the sport will devolve further into a bang...
  11. Discussion: Is it worth trying to slow the game down again?

    Badminton is way faster than table tennis but you dont see people trying to slow down or dumb down the game. If anything, they want more aggressive playstyles (for eg with the change to 15 point games to reduce reliance on stamina more), because watching a 1.5 hr grindfest with players playing...
  12. What do people do wrong in their weight transfer that could cause the side of their knees to hurt afterwards?

    One thing to note is if you do a lunge with your knee exceeding your toes then the knee will be under a huge amount of stress. Also in a FH loop, if your whole body has a lot of rotational energy in it but your feet dont rotate then the knees have to bend and shear which of course it doesnt...
  13. How to train with bad players

    Yep exactly. Also it is good practice for e.g. to for eg loop everything with heavy spin and make sure you are always back in position, even if it doesnt come back. Do not play in an 'easy' way for eg light pushing or floating stuff back to save energy. i challenge myself to not 'take it easy'...
  14. How to train with bad players

    Usually i just do serve/receive drills in this instance. Ie i serve, they receive and then I attack the 3rd ball. Train yourself not to miss at all even if they spray the ball everywhere with random spin. To me it is even more challenging than playing a properly trained player in such a drill.
