I have always been intrigued by this USTTA rating and have not fully grasp the relationship of the points versus quality.

Anyway, an opportunity presented itself when a US based player came to my...

Thanks for your feedback. Now I know 100 uninterrupted strokes is considered decent. Thanks for setting the standard. BTW, what is the reason that will make me more consistently?

Good day to my TT community,

I wish to pose a question here that is bugging me. It starts like this: My country has entered Covid endemic phase and is opening up. A lot of competitions are...

For those who follow this thread, you may recall my old BH was more of a blocking type. I could not generate spin on my own but now I can drive back with added spin and not longer just passive block.

Thanks NDH for your word of encouragement.

This is my 3rd lessons where the coach start to give me random placement of return. Previously we would do preset drills like 2BH then 2 FH or something...

To summarize, are you saying for me to stay a little bit further from the table so that I have more time to transition between FH / BH as well as have more time to adjust my grip? Is my...

I wish to share my personal experience here:

In my case I will talk about Darker Speed 90, arguably the best One Ply Hinoki Blade out there. I own one. I have played with it and I know with direct...

You have a keen eye friend. You notice something that is so minute.

Yes you are right, I am having trouble adjusting my grip. Right now I have a preferred FH and another preferred BH grip. They...

It has been two months since I last upload my video. The above is my FH drive.

Also to point out more inconsistencies in using term across different clubs, and this happens to me:

Bird,

Is your school a regular / average school in Beijing or are you attending a private / elite type school?

You seem to describe a lot of high level players. I am just wondering if this is...
