I recently stumpled across this big list of articles from CNT coaches about technical aspects of table tennis. http://www.pingpang.info/bbs/dispbbs.asp?boardid=1&Id=112275 Maybe two of them are already translated by other forums, but as far as I know, the majority isn't yet. If someone of...

Did you watch XX vs ZJK at WTTC? XX had to cut his rubber during the game and hell he had a lot to cut. Wonder how his his bat passed the tests for the overhanging material as he started playing :/ .

An article about the chinese forehand loop by a chinese national coach also including the penhold grip you might enjoy. I just linked all translated parts from the forum below together and pasted it to pastebin for easier reading (click the first link in this post). [ Original source is the...

Another great article covering different correction methods for some of the above problems can be found here. It also covers the direction of the error correction process from feet to bat angle.

Glad you like it Arne. Are you missing something like the playing elbow area or a line showing how many meters you have to cover if your're standing in a certain distance to the table ? These things are quite easy to add but I didn't want to display too many information at the beginning so I...

As mentioned by ToyKnee and your coach you're missing the weight transfer. Take a look at your feet and your right knee. Your feet don't move and your knee doesn't go forward during forward swing. Your arm swing is ok so far, you just sometimes do weird evasion movements when you try to...

Good to hear, if I find some time and motivation I'll make some analyses from WTTC quarterfinals on and share it if you like / need a working example.

Since I couldn't find dynamic versions for the Angle of Play concept in table tennis I started a little attempt myself. It can be found here and requires Java. All measures are equal to their real ones (table,box) in the applet (obviously not true for the screenshot below). I'd appreciate bug...

Welcome to this site, here an alternative working link so that your research won't be delayed anymore ;).

I recently stumbled across the following video analysis software: playersrecord. Unlike one other recently posted app it's free and much more advanced (it's not a mobile phone app ). Give it a try and incase you like it, show some love to its programmer. If you know a better and free video...

Sure, but do you really want to spend so much money for the unboosted rubber which is just a bit better than most other rubbers instead of boosting it and get the best FH rubber in general? If you've decided to spend that sum for the rubber I'd say you fool yourself if you don't boost it. You...

I expect you to deliver the same great footage Dan just did from WSA :D. Since you're closer to the event, do you know if they're using the new tables covered here ;) ? I hope not, every spectator counts :p. I'm really looking forward to it too, especially what kind of nice videos you'll make...

The following is just my point of view, I don't claim to be right and of course the rubber should fit your technical level and playing style. Tested on zjk blade. SpinArt: heavier than TA 3,worked as intended but no "magic" shots, not as sensitive to humidity as TA 3, probably most durable TA...

I always boosted mine with DianChi and followed this description. Worked for me, but I didn't wait 6 days to let the rubber dry.

Hi, the last I ordered there was genuine. It's a great rubber but has to be boosted. If you boost this rubber, pay attention to the 4mm rule, it's quite easy to expand the sponge too much for it, especially if you get a max. rubber. This might be a bit off topic but as I wanted to get rid of...
