  2. Is table tennis THE hardest sport to go professional in?

    I know that for example in France a normal club with say 200 adherents is able to pay a trainer full time. At our club (100 players) À player playing in the 5th division could ask for about 200€ a month depending on his or her implication in the club. So if he would combine that with...
  3. Is table tennis THE hardest sport to go professional in?

    Generally there is 2 definitions of professional. 1 Being paid a living wage for playing table tennis 2 earning a living wage from table tennis The first one is crazy difficult, the second one is a numbers game. Given the amount of players, it should be relatively easy to make a living out...

    I play a Tibhar EL-P 43 degree tensor on BH of the same blade works quite well, good for active play, very decent control. Still need to figure out how to block very spinny loops with it though

  6. Pongbot Nova S Pro owners' review and discussion thread

    So I tried his exercises, it’s hard! it’s incredible to me how easy he makes it look when he does these exercises. His lateral movement and recovery speed are very impressive. Also clearly have been too nice for myself when programming sequences (in al fairness I probably hit much less hard...
  7. Is 10 weeks with a new blade long enough to start getting adjusted to it?

    10 weeks is plenty in my opinion. It’s about the duration of the interseason. Getting completely dialled in to a new blade might take longer though
  8. How do you fit table tennis around a demanding job?

    You could try and contact a few local clubs to have a knock. If you play and control à Viscaria im pretty sure there’s plenty of people who’d love to spar every now and then.
  9. When should I back away from the table?

    There’s no golden rule as to whether or not you should fall back. Is matter of preference. However for beginners most common is to learn to stay at the table to control the game. Placement over power That said, counter loop from far is an advanced technique you need to be able to comfortably...
  10. Technique discussion fh topspin

    I really like this Channel, the quality of the content is amazing. Helps me really think about technique from a different perspective. One concept she explained was about matching your backswing speed with the incoming ball speed. Always start your backswing when the ball passes the net. I...

    Multiball for cardio and footwork is definitely valid at almost any level. For training techniques you would need a good coach and a decent feeder.
  12. How to train with bad players

    This thread is already full of great ideas! I already used quite a few of them in my own sessions, both when I was the strong player and when I was the weaker player. When I train with weaker opponents, in match play, I always focus on 2 things. First two touches and intentions. So first two...

  15. Anybody tested to put a fast rubber on a defensive blade?

    I have tried both and definitely prefer slow blade plus fast rubbers. (Well what was considered fast like 10 years ago (G1 and evolution elp). I do however agree that it is a clear tradeoff between killshots and rallying. It’s much harder to overpower the opponent so you need placement and...
