You are in Europe and have access to tabletennis11.com and a billion other online vendors. You have unlimited choices in a reasonable budget. That FX-P rubber, I played it a few years, EASY to make topspin vs underspin and decent vs incoming topspin. I believe a European Champ won his...

To get back to OP's question, a few things going on. OP has not yet learned how to use fingers. The squeeze of fingers before impact to make bat go fast in a tiny space is important, as is the control of final squeeze at impact to transfer power to the ball or transfer less. The equipment...

Archo, You have developed a LOT over a long time, but are very naive about how equipment works. I do not need nor want ur dollar. use that dollar for TT research. On the blade in my sig (OFF- PPP) with Aurus soft on the BH, I can do BH hits vs slow balls a few inches above the net that are...

You are talking about it and you obviously care, effort will not be a problem.

UR rubber WAY TOO HARD. Go for 42 degree sponge same rubber and watch how damn easier it is to do everything. Aurus soft or T05FX will also do well much easier to do everything, try a 42 degree sponged modern rubber if U can get ur pawz on one.

Archo, you are doing 10 tons better than you did a decade ago.. but I know who you are talking to. You are not gunna out do this man in any aspect of TT.

@Dan @NDH It was simply impossible for me to attend this year. As a federal worker, a financial management discipline, NO ONE can miss September, the last month of the fiscal year with like 100x transactions happening. I expect to retire from this job within 6-8 months. In 2027, should we do...

After 2-3 minutes i saw enough. The balls @dingyibvs hit long and out, he got the bat too low. A lot of the balls he let drop to table height, that low bat worked very very well. We can make an argument that this or that cause his bat to be low. There are a couple ways to get the bat low. One...

Archo, to play Chinese style attacking FH with H#, it requires a VERY FAST BAT and EXPLOSION to impact that is driven by max explosive use of the whole body full commitment. I think he is trying to tell you that you do not generate nearly enough bat speed to play H3 effectively as a Chinese...

There is no perfect FH or BH shot in the game. There is no singular correct answer to Table Tennis. There is however, a concept about effectiveness, high degree of effectiveness, higher the better. High enough effectiveness is plenty good enough and the same as perfect in result. Table Tennis...

All of you H3 boosting people reallly need to find Sergey the Tsos Unit, undisputed hands down knowledge person in USA, but you gotta get him to join the forum. #sign-up Sergey

The setup in Der_Echte's signature. Period. Go out there and WIN. NOW. Do it.

YES. FH to BH transition is always hampered by NOT having playing elbow in front and to side of front of ribs. You should have at least 6 inches of space to side and front. That allows lower arm to go to BH id ball goes there... also allows lower arm to open and with a tiny step and hitting toe...

Hi @dingyibvs I will be in SFO next Friday... prolly able to break off early afternoon. You busy @dingyibvs ? text me and we see how good and bad our shots and bellies are looking. Will prolly start coaching Saturdays at San Ramon again for a short spell too, opportunities there too.

I would take from this argument that sometimes, one simply has to try to attack where it is appropriate despite personal fear - despite the immediate point loss or game/match loss... and build the play style one is capable of and training for and practice-wise ready for... and use courage and...
