  2. FH powerloop against underspin

    That is true Gozo, but with training this new way until its in your muscle memory - i think its the way forward. the spin only loop just gives the higher levels more time to drive it back and youve not used your opportunity effectively to win the point, Its definately eye opening to learn from...
  3. FH powerloop against underspin

    Haha I was taught using the old 38mm ball going into 40mm back in 2000, so our training was focused on a more vertical or upwards motion against backspin. I recently got back into TT and signed up to a coaching session, and it was eye opening. The technique shown is similar here where we are...

  5. When you thought you were good.

    I thought my level was decent, maybe too many mistakes and not enough training. Just saw a local competition and my rank shows that I am a beginner level. <1000 RC level. Oh the feels.... :'( when will i even get to 1500 level if ever.

  8. Looking for a small handle blade

  10. new Blade because of wrist problems

    Just thought I would add my experience - had the dreaded pain in the wrist too. Firstly you need to rest and recover (no table tennis) for a month or so. If you play and it causes pain, its going to get worse for your wrist and for your EJ virus. I got it from university exams - those damn...
  11. Playing with or without glasses...

    I had to wear glasses during my high school years, and they progressively got worse and more dependant. I couldn't see the ball clearly unless I wore glasses and if i wore the, they kept slipping. I bought those sport bands to wrap around, but thought they looked so daggy. When i found my love...
