I watched the video, and I'm confused about something. He teaches that the swing goes from back to front naturally: And then when he does it, his forearm does not bend upward, but it bends toward his left: Can somebody clarify this? If our swing is from back to front, then why should the...

One thing I felt practicing with something like a 45-degree angled return board was that for the first shot I had to spin the ball with a more open-angled racket, but then I noticed if I hit the next shots with the racket facing all the way down (parallel to the floor) and hitting the very top...

I tried playing with a return board, and I didn't know how to adjust its angle. Here in this video, Ma Long and Fan Zhendong are practicing. I was wondering if I want to loop consistently like them, and with the power they hit the ball, what should be the angle of the return board approximately...

Based on your answer, the guy who wins a lot gets invited for tryouts at higher leagues; I've heard these tryouts only happen once or twice a year! Even the local league does not hold lots of tournaments; it's not like every day I have my chance to play against 5 or 6 guys. It's like once a...

You read my mind about that 60-year-old guy. I hate his style and I always lose to him; I've just won against him 3-1 only once, and even at that time he said, "I let you win and didn't want you to be sad." Whatever I loop, he goes back and chops them back at me, and I tell myself, "How am I...

I've played table tennis for about 5 months in a club, and most of the guys I've played had a bad style; one of them was like he always lobs the balls until I hit the ball out of the table; the other guy's style is just defense; their serves are fault sometimes; and when I tell them this, they...

There are lots of people who teach that a forehand loop against a non-backspin ball finishes at eye or head level, and they say that in the case of a forehand loop against backspin, it finishes above the head level. When the player wants to do a backhand loop against backspin but the ball goes...

After playing table tennis, these red areas in my knees hurt, and I think it is because of my weight transfer in forehand topspins or loops. Some people have told me that this happens because I do wrong movements. What do people do wrong in their weight transfer that could cause the side of...

Not everyone has a friend who would throw balls for multiball drills. In the club I go to, I thought it was a free thing that a coach would just throw balls for multiball training. Once I asked him how the multiball thing works there, and he said that I should pay an extra $14 a month so he...

Nowhere in this video do I see if this forehand topspin will work for all spin types of half-long serves; he just says lower center of gravity and rotate around the ball close to the table and then don't hit the ball upward but follow through the table. Now I'm wondering if it will work for both...
