I’ll concede to vvk1 & Tony, they are much better players than myself!! On closer inspection there is a slight push forward.
On my part it was watching but not seeing. This is one of the major...

ML's bat is moving downwards slightly this adds backspin, he also 'shakes' his wrist at impact which adds some more spin.

Hi Franek

Video clip in #8 shows the basic way that a pendulum motion can change spin, bat angle is pretty much the same, some slight changes because I'm a person and not a machine!! contact...

Hi,
Do you have any video of yourself serving? this would be good for the other posters to see and be able to help.
Spin imparted onto a ball is generally governed by a few things, timing, angle of...

Rumours that there are ‘Special’ Tenergy etc rubbers available!!! Goon squad are on special covert ops trying to locate !!

Sorry to hear about your accident Der, hope you recover quickly.

Helmet done it’s job nicely, probably best to replace after such a hard impact.

I haven’t ‘played’ TT for about 2 months now,...

Drag through the air -

A light and smooth TT ball must be very susceptible to air resistance, would a TT ball with dimples, similar to a golf ball fly further? Or is it the light weight that has...

Hi BB,
liked the graphs and info contained, also appreciate the work you have put in to this thread!!

I’m pretty sure that my consistency leaves a lot to be desired!! It’s great to see how the...

Hi BB,

Any further progress??

Last time i checked, still no option to add a new product and post it's review in the 'Reviews' section

When I was 16ish (oh so long ago!!!) I loved the BTY TAMCA 5000, with Tackiness D and Sriver. Now 40ish yrs later, its All Wood (generally) but the blade I'm using now has carbon, but is defensive....

level and experience of a player is a factor in what type of routines are used by coaches, but I try and incorporate some form of irregular / random routine in every session, as I generally help...

My personal thoughts about serves for beginners is that a basic serve (very basic) should be taught alongside BH & FH technique. Not necessarily at the start but fairly early on. So if learning BH &...

I was playing before speed glue was a thing in England, stopped playing, started again maybe 4 or so years later, speed glue was now in full effect, but as a local league player, I wasn’t really...

I have been using Revolution no3 for a while now, it comes in 3 viscosity levels, so depending how thick you like your glue, you have a choice.
the main reason I use this glue is because it’s so...

Checked Table Tennis England (TTE) and Badminton Association of England (BAE) websites.
Badminton - 560,000 participants a week
Table Tennis - 290,000 twice a month, (so roughly 145,000...

Badminton.
But even badminton is struggling compared to 30 yrs ago as far as numbers of players is concerned.
There are less clubs and the number of divisions in leagues has reduced as well, but...

As the other posters have said, your game needs to be balanced, there’s always aspects that we are better at or maybe enjoy more, strokes we see as our favourites!! We then like to concentrate on the...

Looking at golf and the simulators used by coaches, the equipment measures what the player does, swing speed, attack angle etc etc and then projects the outcome, how high, how far, spin on the ball,...

Exactly the same things you are!! The Math and how to incorporate this into the robots programming.
It will be figures and stats gathered by the sensors & camera’s etc that then help the robot to...

Now that you have made 5 posts, you will be able to post videos!!! one of the sites requirements!!!

Hi,

Yeah I like Rakza Z!! I was going to add it to my original reply, but wasn’t sure if you would consider a hybrid type rubber.
It has good spin capabilities, is fast enough, considering I use...

Andro R42 or R48 are worth considering.

I have 4 basic serve motions or actions, and if fit, with time available I’ll try and hit around 100 balls per service action twice a week.
