A year later, there here is 🤣

On 2 days we have a 2hr session. One of the days we "only" have 1,5hr session. Hm hard to say. We have at least 5 really solid kids (8-10 years old) that already have a decent foundation and something i would call talent. I dont have a general meassurement to name you a level i would like them...

Good questions. We have currently 3-4 coaches. One licensed, one that is more or less just there to support the other coaches and 2 of the best players in the club that have a decent understanding of the game i would say so myself^^ We have 2 seperate levels of groups. The pure beginner group...

I am aware, and we have one with a B-Trainer license, so i do have access to those, but i as ive said these guidelines are kinda too rough and not detailed enough imo. And in some parts we kinda disagree with the guidelines that are used in our region or germany as a whole. The club is helping...

Now that I've been a coach at my club for almost a year, I've repeatedly asked myself what concept or methodology is best for training adolescent or younger players in general. In Germany, there is a very rough guideline for this, which I find somewhat inadequate and leaves too much leeway in...

Yes i agree. Well the topic is concerning the US smash, so i only used the matches from there as reference. And only those of which i found/recalled fault calls.

First of all Jorgic got a let call in the first set (pendulum). Not for his toss but for hiding. Umpire showed head, but if you observe him you will see that he hides the serve almost with his upper body in many many occasions. Second set 3rd point he got fault for his bh serve. Even with TTR...

I would have to rewatch everything to give you a list. But Aruna (although he got faulted for both serves) and Jorgic were 2 you got lets and faults for their bh serves. Harimoto got a let call if i recall correctly. That actually should be enough already if put into perspective e.g. the...

I disagree on both. First all most serves faulted this tournament were bh serves... Second you would discard of a huge foundation of tactics which would hurt the game. Third you would put a spin variation out of the servegame unless you revive as ding ning. So no, it solves nothing and makes...

One more thing that has to be considered here (especially to better catch the topic) is that this tournament was garbage. I mean wtf is wrong with the training tent???? Why do they train in different halls/tents in the first place and even on different tables... What a shitshow. What was...

You didnt quite get my point. In comparison you cant complain. As we discussed in a different thread, there arent many players who make 100% ideal, legally serves. Here i compared especially one that always complains and uses ttr for the opponent serves if he doesnt like it. Now check his...

I just rewatched Darko Jorgic vs Wcq. Sorry but if Jorgics serves are okay, you cant complain about wcq serves at all. They are clear to see most of the times and definitly easier to see than Jorgics in generall (speaking of his pendulum serves). Funny enough he got faulted for his bh serve...

Maybe one more umpire behind the receiver. Because lets be real the amount of wrong calls is not okay. In qualifiers and aside from the main table, there were even more questionable calls from the umpires on top. Seeing that, i dont even wanna know how many wrong calls they are making.

Check the match against Darko. That moron even challenged wcq serve right away and lost the challenge. Imo the rules have to change completely or should stay the way it is and it should be part of the game. Trying to force the rules like this without TTR leads to ridiculous decisions many...

There goes the Joola blade from Zhou Qihao. Not sure about the rubber though. And not sure what that is, that he has switched to. Anyone have more insights or could recognize his new blade?

Thats curious, because he is still using Joola edgetape in the current star contender and he is still using a joola rubber on bh (at least i suppose so, because of the sponge color of his bh rubber).

For the sidespin variation you counter the sidespin and slightly guide it up over the net. The no spin serves are trickier because you tend to misread them. I mean even pros fail to read them occasionally. But yeah you slightly close the angle of the racket and guide the ball over the table...

I cant recommend boosting lac. Topsheet seperation will more likeley accur. I dunno how you measure you spin quality. I tested it with my best training partner in the club and with spinsight back then, from another club at least with the J3. I could reach higher speed with J3 but spin was...

Curious, in terms of hardness the rubber shouldnt feel too soft, should it?! And should the pro version not feel almost the same?! I mean there is not even a difference stated somewhere. The pro version is weirding my out, so i never tested it^^ Cant relate to your DHS ball experience at all...

BD had decent spin in my experience if i had a good sheet. But the differences were too huge back then, so i made the switch. Btw i just noticed that R9 is available in many more hardness degrees. Anyone tested the other versions aside from the 40? R9 could maybe be a good substitute for LAC...
