is this a joke?

good spin is important but there are other ways to pressure opponents

Always try to give opponents multiple problems with each serve

short or long
fast or slow
left or right
for a strong...

maybe an ordinary shoulder shopping bag should be ok. Puma make one also Marks and Spencer

the throw angle is a byproduct of the amount of spin generated.
so maybe you need a more spinny rubber

Great post.
Should be preserved on a sticky somewhere. - what no stickies? it deserves a thread of its own



this is why a slower shot can be more effective as it allows more prep time for...

hi tono
Plenty of options as mentioned above. Analysis is your friend: for every instance where you feel you are losing out, look at the stroke or sequence of strokes you executed before and be...

First
I think the best way for you is to try out club mates bat, so much cheaper and more opportunity to try different rubbers without spending money, also you will benefit from the opinions of the...

lets hope its not senility as moristo is a lively rubber! Go with the blade that suits YOU same for thickness, I think

hi basmundo

i am a PADDY not a daddy!

Moristo is a Nittaku sp. It is the same pips that Mima Ito uses on her backhand . very fast and ideal for a fast counterhitting style.
while its very...

Hi Basmundo
I am 73 and can empathise with your situation.
I dont really recommend a combi bat unless you feel that you have an exceptional talent for this kind of thing as it will do a lot of harm...

Maybe you underapprecate the 1300 guy. Sounds as though there is something to learn there

I get a sense that you are a bit loop focused.
especially with bh it’s good to develop counterhit and blocking skills
also work on your ‘table game’ all the strokes executed over the table- serve...

i wonder if the benefit of bigger and more prominent ads is what dan and co were aiming for in order to increase revenue. Having a logically constructed and functioning forum as we had before seems...

Hi Bryan
I like the idea of serving wide to one wing and then go down the other, but it might be useful to resurrect your blocking skills as your profile as a 2 winged wannabe looper is just meat...

I would suggest forgoing the anti and learning to hold the racket normally. tackiness both sides will be fine
It will give you an interest.

good luck

A few good suggestions there:
One thing i found helpful was to use a mesh bag to carry the shoes separately from my kit bag. It was one of those shoe bags with one side being all mesh. I would put...

Good feeling on the serve there IB66.
Nothing like a box of 100 balls or so to keep your skill level and relax your mind.
my home setup is pretty similar but maybe I have a little more space :)

Good advice so far.
I would like to expand on the benefits of practice.
If we take Carl’s simple yet excellent video set we can see an easy to copy action, and its tempting to think that the...

i started in the 1960’s
which meant that i learned through books and watching tv of Lawn Tennis and picking what applied to table tennis. The best book by far in explaining modern tt
was Jack...

hi sergito
what you and your gf need to understand is that the ideal fh and bh you make in practice, in a match they become only a helpful reference guide to making your imperfect shots work. This...

i must say i think the term “loop kill” is just as silly as “rocket loop”

I much prefer the terms from the old Butterfly Table Tennis report:

A topspin against a low chopped ball = Lifting...

why do you have to be rude? if you make statements like this you should back it up with facts or back down and apologize

OK Zezima
there are many good coaches on this forum who can suggest different things for you to do, but I hope that you can see my point that players that progress to higher levels approach their...

In your practise you should have precise targets and notice whether you are on target, short or long, left or right. This info is an essential system to enable you to continuosly correct your errors....

when you make a stroke do you always have a precise target?
if. not you should and you.must remember what racket. angle how hard and how much spin you used each time you hit or. miss the. endline....
