We have a similar player with similar style in our club who competes in Pro B league in France. He ain't this much of a man but he's big enough that every now and then, he smacks his love handles cause they get in the way of the ball and his racket :D.
The thing is they control the placement so...
Do you play close to the table? Cause there are two ways to loop a backspin ball, looping when the ball passes the endline and drops similar to Tony's video (with backspin) or the easier but harder to master is to loop (you can flat hit it too) the ball right after the first bounce before it...
I 100% disagree with this. In TT you have to adapt or you'll just lose.
You can't play a lefty the same way you play a righty
You can't play a defensive player just like you play an attacking player
You can't play a pips player they way you play an inverted rubber player
You can't play a flat...
If you're new to the game, the only technique that you should focus on right now is to engage your hips in your drives and proper placement. The rest are pretty much intermediate stuff.
If you want to improve even more, then focus on reading the spin on the ball especially when your opponent is...
I've read really good things about H8-80 for BH too, that it somewhat plays like a toned down D09c.
Personally can't tell you anything about it but I've just ordered one sheet 15min ago :D. Can tell you more once I get the chance to play with it.
I remember myself having this issue, I thought I'm standing very low but when I saw myself on camera I was shocked to see that I was standing almost fully upright.
After looking at some recordings of myself, I noticed that I start in a low position but once I started to move around, especially...
When speaking about thickness it does. 4mm is the maximum thickness allowed for the rubber and the sponge combined. So 2.1mm sponge MAX should come with a 1.9mm top sheet resulting in a max thickness of 4mm.
Your set up is really fast for someone who's been playing for only 6 months but the absolute right person who can tell you is your coach so ask her/him.
Just a word to the wise, you will level up a bit since you're hitting harder and faster but then you plateau forever cause major areas of your...
For me it's Dima. I think in general people have more trouble with his serves than with Timo's. More specifically with the deceptive amount of spin that he can put on his serves, the variety that he can bring to the table and his placement.
But I think Timo is better at hiding top/back spin of...
I have opened a few disputes on AliExpress and they always take it seriously, I've even been given items for free and been refunded as well. They definitely are not going to say a couple of mm won't matter. Just elaborate that the product and its description doesn't match and upload some pics...
TBH, his whole point was lost on me cause he didn't mention anything about talent.
If I read it literally it's false as Felix doesn't have money and Ma Long is the richest TT player of all time and hate the fact that he's insinuating that Ma Long is playing for that 30k prize.
If i read it...
The answer depends on so many other elements and it's not a straight yes or no.
The first factor is the rubbers, fast or slow rubbers. If you pair a fast blade with fast rubbers then it's going to harm your game but if you pair it with slow rubbers then you can focus on your technique and it...
