@ThePongCommenter Who the heck are you ???!!! You are making valid comments. ( and that can be tricky. ) (even though many solid coaches disagree on some theory and development priorities) I would like to know you moar. Do I know you in Nor Cal?

When I help beginning adults... @Colestt suggestion (allow player to serve underspin and provide a long underspin return) is what I like to do in the early stages of teaching an adult learner to loop underspin... ... but that isn't the end all know all. Sometime, at later stages, it is good to...

@kindof99 You have explained technically what is happening to the OP. He has not yet learned how to time arrival of ball to strike zone and has not yet learned how to use leverage of his body with timing. It might be simply not understanding things as some members have articulated, or it may...

This is one damn good outstanding posts by many members thread.

Attention Barcelona TT Goon Squad: I have a friend who is my level (a former top ten national youth player) who had a 30 yr + break and back in tt for 5 yrs... He is sometimes in Barcelona in the University Square area willing to subway or drive car to tt action... He is in town June 29 to...

BTW @dingyibvs and the Bay Area Goon Squad... I might be coaching in San Ramos again for a spell, so maybe once a week Pleasanton ttc action may be on again.

@Jslick89 won U1675. UC Davis head coach made finals of U1800.

Watch the fun, Nexy Korea will prolly put out an Eng sub version, but have fun with the auto translate until then.

Sry to hear that NL, I did the sac Open last weekend, played 4 matches in hurricane wind conditions (wind blowing crazy on one side and strong on other. Defeated the 100 point lower rated player, gave big trouble to the 1900 to 2000 rated players, but was inconsistent in that wind, won vs 200...

Hi TB, The gap between 2800 and 300 is so huge it is difficult to describe. Of course there could be things going on well and not well for individual players... so there could be SOME chance a 2800 wins vs a 3000, but that is highly unlikely. A 2800 level player has to train ridiculously hard...

Approaching 3000 and a couple just over is about right for the top 5-10 players in the world. However, at 2800 level, which is where many WR 50-75 players could be... and 50 point increase is almost a mission impossible and that 50 point increase represents several levels and SO DIFFICULT to...

@dingyibvs some future moment, I will show you a simple down and up way to generate energy to transfer. Hopefully, I can attract trouble makers to leave Sacramento.

Hi @Haagne Of course he is not RSM... but that dude can still play even at his age. When I was in Korea, he was in late 60s and could still play U2200+ level USATT, he defeated Adam Barbrow who was solid 2100+ back then. That would be top ten percent and around Dan's level or at least...

Lee Jae Chul... Lee Jae Chul. Lee Jae Chul !!!!!!!!! LH J-Pen operator.

So, @coolchap you wanna counter this incoming slow, heavy topspin ball... First, you will need to get good at TT skill number 1... reading what opponent did to the ball and knowing where, when, what spin, what amount, what vector and what 3D coordinate ball will land and come into a strike...

Yes, the first evolution i would also recommend like Dr. Evil seems to is to learn how to see where ball will bounce and get right there over the ball, like only a few cm from the bounce and cover it with light grip. later, more aggressive things can be learned, but starting there is good.

You all ought to try to make ur way to Kim Jung Hoon TTC, I must have jisted dozens of his vid teaching amateur players. https://m.blog.naver.com/mini_min_e/223215554388

One of these days @dingyibvs I will bring moar out of town trouble makers better than me to your area and we can see how have you show the great progress and get some realization into some other stuff. We gotta blow up Pleasanton TTC in doubles again with our BHs.

@Tony's Table Tennis may or may not have seen this one...

Ol' Van... advocating that HITTING is a valid and acceptable play style that requires skills... What is the man thinking ???!!! Obviously some very fair and good thinking. :D
