JacobHue was a spambot. Could you delete the links in your quote of his text?

Fun fact. Not that this has anything to do with anything:

Both Nadal and Xu Xin are actually right handed but were made to play Tennis (for Nadal) and Table Tennis (for Xu Xin) with their left...

This is a fun match to watch. Can't get closer than that.

I just don't like to remove until I see the spam. But.....it has the look of comments that were simply for the purpose to have enough posts to add live links.

I do think it would be fun to hit with you.

I think you have posted footage in the Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat thread which is really not that different but with a wider scope. And if I am...

I see more and more, people are commenting about technique and then writing something like: "I am not permitted to make comments in this thread".If the comments seem to be positive and not weird or...

Actually, I am testing because I think that may be a bot or someone looking to spam the site. So, if it is a person, he might respond to a comment like that. If it is a bot, bots don't answer. :)

This is interesting. She asked for inexpensive, she asked for shoes for Table Tennis. Table Tennis shoes need lateral support. High profiled running shoes without any support would be terrible for...

I have a feeling you will be fine barefoot.

If you want to get something that you can wear for table tennis and wear as regular old shoes outside, then get inexpensive tennis shoes of low topped basketball shoes. They won't be indoor court...

Worth knowing USA is far behind all of Europe and Asia in terms of average level.

Also, frequently women, or smaller people play close to the table and take the ball off the bounce. Smaller people respond more quickly because their limbs are smaller and easier to move. A large...

There are several things you have to consider:

1) You are watching a player who has a lot of training and her skills and technique are excellent. Trying to compare your play to hers is a bit...

Usually, handle heavy feels lighter than it is.

But how you tell if a blade is handle heavy or head heavy is to balance the blade face on your finger. With a head heavy blade, the blade will...

Yeah. Very personal. Everyone is different. I like blades on the heavier side. My blade is 93 grams and the rubbers on it are not light. I think the last time I weighed it, it was 203 grams...

And learning that control of the blade face where you start being able to do it will skill, against the wall, and then, with enough skill to do it within a very small area of the wall, and then, on...

A worthwhile detail: notice how small the movements of the racket are when Freitas is doing it. :)

And the backspin catcher probably would require the most skill.But without actually looking at and working on how to touch the ball softly, it is hard to do so. So, that exercise against the table...

In Table Tennis, the terms TOUCH and FEEL refer to the art of how you contact the ball and how you feel the ball while it is on the surface of your rubber and blade face.

Below is a video. It...

It also explains why Tony is happy to post footage of him working with his students and EmratThich is not! There is a difference between a real coach and someone who just posts stuff about...

One of the interesting things to see is how Tony is reading the needs of the trainee and adding the random element into the drill to an extent that makes it very productive. It would be harder to do...

I just want to express my gratitude for being able to have you participate in this thread. I really appreciate getting to read how you explain things to people.

Gozo, this is just a comment on camera angle.

If it is two right handed people playing, you do not want to position the camera behind the BH corner of the table because then, most of what you see...

From this video:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/H_R7g7dXouw?autohide=1&controls=1&showinfo=0 I chose the first serve to show the sequence:

I find the opposite. If your motion on a FH serve is good, the transfer of weight from left foot to right foot (for a rightly) and the followthrough after, bring you directly into a ready position. I...
