I think he is not disrespectful at all. I hated the screaming in the beginning, but noticed that he has toned it down. Now I only find it only mildly annoying - rather whatever. I actually find...

Even though the reply that awakened this thread was most likely a bot, I think this made me discover it and read through all the excellent advice :) I too live a very much sitting life and sometimes...

Pretty cool, well done!

I think this is the most serious match I have seen Dan play against a pro and Zoran made it look so effortless and at ease without being ridiculous. He is an incredible player. Great match, but the...

Nice stuff and fun match to watch. I remember watching a few Lee Hyo Sim videos about technique before, and she explains certain concepts very well.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the chances of becoming a professional are almost none. If by professional you mean making a living from playing table tennis.

That being said, you can still become...

I always did it for a few minutes before the training, after setting up the tables in my club.

I think I would start with the exercise that yogi_bear suggested, to make sure you get on the right track with brushing, acceleration and body movement. If you don't get this right, all weird things...

Ok, so if I understand this correctly, and Lin being left-handed, most of Hugo's shots were placed into his forehand? And his serves into the middle?

I have noticed the infographics during recent world cup events. Sometimes from the side, sometimes from behind. In this case it is shown from the side with each player name assigned (?) to one half...

Hehe, the overhead return. So much fun when against all odds you make it.

Thanks, Lula. Good information here, I will try to work on this during the week and see how it goes.

I noticed that one of my weak points is receiving a short right sidespin/topspin backhand serve short to my forehand. The serve is usually right sidespin with varying amount of topspin and from a...

Totally agree with this, I never think about where the first bounce on my side is but the visualization has always helped me a lot with improving my serves. At least for me, this concept has worked...

I think that Lula actually described in #6 on how to serve this kind of serve pretty well. It was the essence of this serve in two sentences. But sure thing, I do not mind to see some examples if...

Your choice. I think it is a good definition, both for teaching, training and to avoid confusion in forums like this. I find it also useful for clarity: double bounce or more being a short serve, is...

Ok, I would never call a double bounce serve half-long so I go with this tabletennisdailyacademy description: "a half long ball is one which bounces once and then drops just off the end of the table"...

Really? My impression is that a half-long ball is loopable and bounces only once on the opposite half, although it just drops off the end of the table. That's what we call it here.
...

Bullshit, a barely double bounce is still a double bounce and considered a short serve. You can change the world 'barely', with 'just' or whatever the word you want. It bounces twice, the second...

Yes? Your point being?

So was I, there is not always just a a single solution.

Not exaxtly right, the wording was "closer to the net" and this is sometimes the solution. If the first bounce is very close to the net, then sure, the serve may become very short but also very slow...

You got some good advice already. I think that those that are relatively new, may struggle a bit with turning a match around from defence to offence. Like picking the right ball when to attack after...

It is some kind of a cross over concept. Watching a few clips on the website, I notice that they have not decided if the table is best suited for football, volleyball, tennis, handball or table...

I think it looks silly. On the other hand, since you play with the same equipment, then maybe one can avoid the EJing, boosting and other speculations.
