  1. Tenergy 05 Catapult on Timo Boll ALC

    You could just go to a thinner sponge on the T05 until you develop the feel you need for the short game? The D80 is a very different rubber from the T05. slight tacky, harder etc so you will have an adaptation period. You are going from two rubbers that generate spin, lift etc very easily to...

    "A prediction is a statement, guess, or forecast about a future event, trend, or outcome, often based on evidence, experience, or scientific modeling" If you are using data such as shoulder position, spin etc before the shot has been made...then you are predicting....and we are talking about his...

    You are definitely watching your own shot. But don't worry, this is normal while you are still developing confidence in your shot. You will need to develop past this and be more focused on anticipation of the ball coming back. And just relax a bit. Don't worry if your shot hits the net, just...

    It is a development stage learning to anticipate and limit your opponents options and accepting they a good shot from your opponent is a good shot. At the moment, you can't read them and are letting your opponent control the tempo and the game. Little things like shoulder position, balance etc...

    Pros and half decent armatures go mid distance because the ball is carrying that far and player open up with power and speed. They are not going there for the sake of it, it is because they have a high level opponent who is hitting the ball with power and lots of spin energy to kick the ball...

    This first drill is training bad habits with this robotic crab into position movement. As pointed out, you must arrive in position to play your shot. It will give you more time to impact the ball correctly. This is your moment in the game to dictate the timing/speed of the game.

    Another thing I would note is this slow feeding style drill. I wouldn't do it. You are crabbing to the spot where you know the ball is going to go. Arms still up Infront of you, then starting your backstroke etc. your arm, body and legs are disconnected in your movement making you stiff and...

    Thes This pictures is exactly what I have been seeing. You have this habit of going backwards in your game. This is why I suggested the jumping forward drill as it is near impossible if your body is leaning backwards. This backwards motion takes all the aggression out of your game and puts you...

    Thought the exact same. The FH shots look very spin focused from letting the ball drop. For me he is tall and should be using this to drive his opponent back from the table. Could he be late because he is a bit stiff so his racket speed coming through is a bit slow and inconsistent? I think...
  10. Table Tennis in ch/de/at "dead?"

    They are there. My guess is they are within the clubs so you will need to make contact to get information for private sessions etc.

    Munich has clubs with coaches. Plenty of coaches when I have played in Germany.
  12. Beginner defender (LP chopper): equipment + tactics vs strong loopers?

    I played against your very pimples in my season matches last night. Was an interesting match, the person was able to chop the ball low with a good angle to my BH side, I would say sometimes getting the ball to skid off the table. Made it a bit harder to attack and I could see players who are not...
  13. My Race Tournaments in Germany

    Heaps better. Still going back too much and too easily, but your shots are considerably better. Plenty of shots where you could of attacked but you don't realise it yet with the low, long balls but it will come as you learn the rubbers. Your shots have more on them and more speed on your normal...
  14. Twiddeling LP tutorial for beginners

    Twiddling is why you have to look up at your opponent when serving.
  15. Beginner defender (LP chopper): equipment + tactics vs strong loopers?

    100%. And a lack of understanding which can create fear and doubt is a LP players greatest asset. The amount of times you see a player desperately trying to put more and more spin on their serve at a LP players is alarming.
  16. Beginner defender (LP chopper): equipment + tactics vs strong loopers?

    Life gets difficult for LP players as you go up the ratings. Players who understand LPs and have strong, consistent attacks are always going to be a problem for you. Strong players basically see LPs as a free hit, as you can control the spin coming back at you. Strong attackers are all about...
  17. Dignics 05........ not lasting as long as people say.

    Absolutely. Adhesive on normal rubbers and none adhesive on H3 rubbers.
  18. The jetlag makes a flagrant injustice for all the non Asians.

    The direct flight from Germany to Singapore is a light weight trip in global sports. Professional people do this as a round trip for work these days. And I would rather do that and play table tennis in aircon for a few minutes...then Drive a F1 car with the heat and G forces over several days in...

    Not sure I am up for a Ninja like performance regardless of the travel!
  20. To step back or not to step back…..???

    I think this is all depends on your open ups and the ability of your opponent. I do think it is a common mistake by low level players who go back and end up reaching...but at higher levels, this is less a problem. But there are plenty of lower level players that have a killer FH....so you have...
