  1. Why doesn't Nittaku fastarc G-1 spin as much as my soft tensor rubber can?

    The G1 is a high-energy, offensive rubber. Meaning you need to give it the beans (it is a low catapult rubber), and it will return your effort. If you don't play this style, then maybe this is the problem? The G1 is known to slip on slow balls, which can be a problem with spin generation. A...
  2. Most consistent BH rubber for opening up the game

    Rakza 7, Rakra 7 soft is very easy to use and great if you have lost confidence (I have my kids on this as it allows them to just attack and play their shots while having relatively good spin, but I would definitely have it on a fast blade). I have been trying the T05FX 1.9mm on my backhand, and...
  3. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    At 3:43 mark you literally do a practice shot and you are upright and your weight is going backwards in your rotation. And after this you can see your are closing your blade off at the end of your stroke trying to guide the ball.
  4. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Your weight is still going backwards with your rotation lowering the quality of your shot.
  5. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Yep, standing too upright. Starting point, eyes at the net height and then see where you end up in the rally/drill and note when his shot quality suddenly goes down.
  6. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Get your training partner for your open up training to drop them shorter so they are roughly only just going over the edge of the table. They are feeding you very long backspin which are bouncing high. You are a better player then this. In a match players are unlikely to give them to you like...
  7. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I m Your time stamp of your better FH is good. Weight going forward into the shot, not just twisting and you can see a few where your feet are behind you and your weight is forward (leaning forward catching yourself) and those are particularly good FHs. Even if the ball is on your hip, if you...
  8. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Plus playing against high level players you will have to go back because the speed, kick and power is a lot higher. But in your videos these are not 2000 plus players. You are playing against players that put low quality on the ball. It is slow rubbish that you need to put away. Going back away...
  9. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Yes you need to go back from your server to give yourself space and your feet are going to be further away from the table then a shorter person but you keep on edging backwards as the rally goes on instead of finding your position to attack.
  10. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    If you are tall and have your head down, you are not close to the table anymore, you are mid distance. So it works but gives you the ability to take the ball early to drive the other player back. Getting low will help your movement. Watch the 39th minute against the guy in black and red...
  11. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    The very first thing I would notice playing against you in this video is you have a default move backwards, away from the table. Your weight is going backwards a lot and you can see you want to go backwards. I would drive you back with my FH and then FH down the line at your exposed backhand...
  12. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Watch the pro server and receiver. Heads down at the net high as they make contact with the ball so the ball does not bounce too high on the other side of the table. Your height is going to make it more challenging, but not impossible and it will give you even more time to play the shot. Pros...
  13. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Just using this to video for what I was saying in my other comment. Note how upright you are standing. You head is a long way about the net, even in your serve. Lean forward more,.weight on the front of your foot and have your head down at the net level. Your opponent is attempting to do this as...
  14. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    It helps with your body mechanics, forcing you to transfer weight. When I watch your shots you are not transfering weight forward into the shot so you have no power and not activating the sponge of your rubber which makes your shot inconsistent. The video on the 21st, you are constantly falling...
  15. Nittaku Fastarc G-1+G-1 or G-1+C-1?

    Interesting, I consider the G1 as the updated Mark V for the new ball.
  16. Nittaku Fastarc G-1+G-1 or G-1+C-1?

    Rakza 7 is a good rubber particularly for people still developing. It does everything well, not advance, but ideal for developing you as the player. The Rakza 7 soft does generate good spin with a slower racket speed as well. I love it when I people say it is not fast enough...then I watch my 10...
  17. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Your going to get a thousand things to work on here. Wrist is too loose, relaxed is good but loose is bad..you are very stiff (I think you are over thinking it) and so on. The one thing that I think you can work on and get quick results which will lead into everything else is your stance. To...
  18. The long pips challenge

    LP are particularly great fun if you have a killer FH. Not fun for your opponent, but great for lower and mid tier tournaments if you are stuck playing against players who feed you rubbish to win.
  19. Tactics for long pips against long pips

    Do you go heavy backspin to their FH because you are assuming they are not good at dealing with it since they use pimples on their backhand? Or are you just moving them out of position?
  20. Tactics for long pips against long pips

    I just serve light backspin or no spin into their LPs and then just all out attack the return with my FH. Even if you are playing with Pips...play to your opponents rubbers weakness. LP players play the long game.... don't play it with them.
