Hey there, I think I see your problem. But first you should mention that the first opponent in your video, you didn't show missed serves, which is why Lula above me is confused.
1. It looks like...
I'll guess Sam Walker
User tonyma and I played on table 1

As others have said, it depends on your level

I was having a hard time ordering some of these, but then I realized it was because some of these are in a different category.
0. The basic...
I am pretty sure I found a definite solution today after rethinking one particularly basic concept. All in all, I've probably been doing something wrong from the very start, given how often I hit...
It depends on your level.
If you are just starting, learning how to make lots of spin on your serve should be your number one priority.
In general, you should get the hang of spinning the ball on...
I started playing penhold because shakehand hurts my wrist when I swing hard
Then what would you do when there's a lot of topspin and you want to counterloop?

Today, I played in NCTTA divisionals at Westchester TTC. I did notice that I had a lot fewer...
I guess one thing I should mention is that I play against a lot of junk players and I'm used to the slow balls that come from them.
Should I just fast-forward myself when I play with people that...
I did change my racket recently, but I wouldn't really blame that.
It probably is judgement, although sometimes, when I'm sure I know, I hit the edge.
Do you think I should just imagine the ball is...
Do you usually stand a bit further away from the table?
Maybe high-level players stand further away from the table than I thought.
I will try the side-thing
I have tried flatter hits, but it's not as consistent, especially on blocks that are low. I can keep trying it out, but there's a limit to what you can do with a flatter hits.
If anything, the video contradicts you on the early part. I am used to slower balls, and the fast balls are when I am more likely to hit the edge.
Then again, the girl in the video still hits the...
I've tried that: it's hard to get an arc and hard to get more spin. I want to be able to get more spin on my shot though. I've always wondered how the pros do their forehand loop. They go up quite a...
Problem: over the years, I've hit lots of ball on the edge of my racket. This usually happens when the ball jumps out at me with topspin and I try to forehand loop it (but I've had it happen before...
No, it's when the ball spins like a drill, or a screw, while going forward
If you are trying to reach 2200, your forehand is passable at best, and your backhand is not up to par at all. Pretty much everything needs to be a little better: spin, speed, placement.
Not to...
It's definitely not more spin than a long push. The reason the ball bounces back sometimes is because the ball is moving really slowly, so the spin is able to make it go back. Normal shots go faster...
Hey, thanks for the invite.
I've hit around 2300 earlier this year, and I think there was a clear difference in the things that I practiced to get there.
I was around 2100 with just a solid...
It happens all the time in late nights in clubs that I go to. I don't like betting. But I occasionally find people that will bet on me. It doesn't really affect my play when I'm not the one who has...
The definition of beginner is easy
Beginner: a person who has begun a course of instruction or is learning the fundamentals (taken from dictionary.com)
Pretty much anyone that has just started out....
I play penhold because shakehand hurts my wrist. Do what feels best for you. As long as you use RPB, it is not too different from shakehand.
Science is built upon repeatable results. Whatever I say here is subjective, and players should always try things out for themselves and communicate their results with others.
Everyone should know...
USATT around 2200-2300 level
I hit 2327 NCTTA
6 years of playing competitively
No leagues really
