Thanks for the update Wrighty67. I've been following this thread and was wondering how things would turn out between you and your coach. I have seen this so many times, for many different reasons, where there is an apparent mismatch between coach and student until the student communicates with...

Well, I noticed he is sporting a knee band on his right knee.

I have used several Gel Rockets over the years but recently tried the Gel Tactic 2 (volleyball also) and for me it is far superior to the Rocket. Better traction and more support. Previous thread on similar subject: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?26618-Tab&highlight=tactic

Can this product give racket head speed at contact and/or throughout the swing?

If you don't have problems with your feet or knees, yeah, I would tend to agree almost any sport shoe will do, but if one has foot/ankle joint/tendon issues I disagree. Athletic shoes can vary greatly in terms of support, traction, shock absorption, etc. In that case the shoe can make a huge...

I have found the ASICS Gel Tactic 2 to be a better shoe, for me, than the Gel Rocket. The former provides better shock absorption, support, and traction. Here's a video review of the Gel Tactic 2 from a squash player. He favors this shoe over the Rocket because he feels it offers better knee...

I know your comment was tounge-in-cheek, but I'm glad somebody else noticed the attire...Not to mention a collared shirt and long-sleeved sweater. To each his own of course, but I would never take somebody who knows nothing about table tennis, to watch this guy playing. It would reinforce the...

Heh... Absolutely. In the vid below player in gray is rated just over 2100.

You are not alone. I have watched 100's of TT videos with various accents. I have found none of them objectionable... except for the robot voices. I actually enjoy hearing the various accents. SURF, If you speak slowly and clearly it should not be a problem. You should post a 20 second video...

In Japan there is "Large Ball" that uses a 44 mm ball and inverted rubber is not allowed. Paddles must be pips out (I believe). It's rather popular there.

Care to explain in the video where we are advised to take a step/bounce back just before the opponent strikes the ball? Seems too ambiguous to me. Each and every time, regardless of context? I don't see the pros doing this.

Like doctors a good coach is hard to find and can make all the difference.

He's just jealous that he's got no ballz.

Haha... I started at the top of the thread and read a post where someone wrote, "The others are always complayning about their rubbers durability, and I have my Tenergy 05 rubbers since August 2014 kkkk and they're in a good state..." Definitely surprised/shocked me until I noted the posting date.
