Which apps do you use to keep score if any while you play games and what features do you like about it? I use this one and I created it so I can view it on the giant iPad. It’s simple and does gestures for swiping up or down the points. Check it out and let me know what you think? Ping Pong...

This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing

So true. My right hand has some bad habits. Left hand is learning new things for the first time :)

And I got my first lesson with left hand today. Surprised I played well :) my coach also was surprised that I ramped up pretty quickly after a few pointers. Looks like I can still play and get some exercise until my right hand heals. I’m not that confident with my left hand but I will stick with...

Thank you all. Surprise to see so many responses. Very motivating. I think the sprain is not too bad. At least that’s my hope that’s nothing serious. I think this gives me opportunity to try out the left hand mainly so I can balance it a bit. I do everything right handed. I also need the...

I sprained my right hand and it’s going to take some time to recover. I want to keep on exercising so how hard is it to play with left hand? Handshake style?

I have switch to shakehand and I’ve already experienced major improvement in my game from few practices. Shakehand seems more natural for my hand so I switched out from Penhold. Yes, all coaches will tell you shakehand is easier and it’s true. But some coaches will teach you whatever feels...

So today I committed to 11 lessons (1 free if I pay 650$ for the usual 10 lessons price ahead of time). It’s 1hr each and I plan to do twice a week. I am saving a bit for not having to pay additional to book the table each time. Let’s see how this goes. I’m definitely improving like some of...

Did you have to pay separately for the training or did the monthly fee include it? How much did you have to pay in total roughly? I’m thinking that’s the way to go.

Wow. That’s a good deal.

I only started couple of months ago and have been training with a coach and playing on local tournaments once a week. I don’t know how I rank. So how do I go about ranking? I will keep on practicing and work towards a good level eventually but I don’t know where to start.

I’m wondering if anyone know any places for lessons that are affordable in NYC but also curious how much it costs elsewhere in the world. Spin Nyc is a great place but membership is about $1000 and it only includes a free lesson. Then each lesson cost separately. Say if I take two lessons a...

Just checked out the membership with lessons at Roberts club. Looks pretty good except for far commute from manhattan. I will check out the club in upper west side since lessons are $65/hr. How often people practice with a coach here? I’m wondering if anyone know any places for lessons that...

I just got this recently and it has a good feeling. It’s a recommended setup for newbies per other seasoned players. Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive Ch.Pen DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (FH) Donic Acuda Blue P1 (BH) I got the lowest thickness for better control for both rubber.

Awesome. I just checked the indoor club and it looks amazing. Too bad it’s far from manhattan. I think at this rate I can’t afford the very good trainers. :( one was looking for 100$/hr and additional for the table so I can’t justify it.
