I can do it slowly as well, to show you, but not in the next few days. I am not training with the robot for a while. The guy who mentioned that my robot setting was not realistic may have had a point -- so much about using a robot is unrealistic for the actual manifestation in play, reviewing my...

Ive heard that the prime sends even harder backspins. I have amicus start.

I started playing with a friend during lockdown in december 2021. Never played any table tennis or any other racket sports before that. I have only started playing three times per week in the club this last month and before that I played one time per week at the club (but a lot of training on my...

It may be that the improvement is just going slower, or that its hard to see improvement in the small details on videos like this. I honestly am not noticing that much improvement on the videos that were taken three months apart, but its easier to see when you are coaching yourself and are aware...

No, I dont think that. Its just me taking one aspect of the game at a time. As I view it, timing improves with experience, because you are able to read your opponent better the more types of players you have played and then you know where the ball is moving before it gets there. There are lots...

I am sorry. I must have missed the context of what makes this important, or deemed it as not important to answer. The way my arm moves is just not what I am working on right now and there are only so many things you can improve at the same time to not lose focus and deliberation. Also, I think...

This is exactly the advice given to me by world class tennis player Casper Ruud, deliberate practice!

I dont scrutinize his achievements as a coach that much, I trust him, but I do know that he migles with the best of them, he even had coaching sessions with Borgar Haug, which is the highest ranked player in Norway, when Borgar Haug was a young developing player. During the year I have played...

Who knows, he might have marked me as someone who does not have "potential" and are keeping me in the club to get payed. Or he might be flustered by my decision to start playing with chinese tacky rubbers (before I went to hybrid) a few months back and is ambivalent about the matter. I trusted...

I just have to say, I read your comments about my technique and take it to consideration, but its not really something I will use much effort to alter at this current moment. For a period, I used to be mindful of dropping non-playing arm in each forehand shot, but I dong think details like this...

yes, I agree, but I think I narrow down the technique-term to the willful manipulation of the bodys natural inclinations. a runner will become efficient in running if he/she runs a lot, but there are shortcuts to the experience of joint pain of running too much in a particular way and having to...

thanks for all the clarifications. we actually did a drill right after I recorded that where I get a fast topspin after looping the backspin to simulate the quite usual response to a slow and spinny ball. my robot dont have the options of varying spins in the same sequence (amicus start). I have...

well, my technique is the thing I have been feeling is my strong suit. people have always pointed out that I may be thinking too much about doing the correct stroke in matches instead of winning the ball. I also practice with a robot, but its hard to execute the stroke that you have practiced...

you cant get a vibe from text on the internet, thats why its so difficult to communicate online -- it has no context and it does not cater to the emotional beings that we are. I was replying to the actual things that this person was assuming. there is no data that support making an assumption...

everyones technique is different. unless you are a high level coach, I would be wary of taking your word that my base technique needs work. tbh, the only difference I see in the videos you posted and the way I play is that you have a very good timing and a fast racket -- you have very little hip...

I think they could be more open about sponsored content and instead review some equipment that better suit the bulk of their viewership. Great blades like Donic Appelgren, Nittaku Acoustic and even things like Buttefly Petr Korbel. They could also be more scientific about it and compare rubbers...

Ranking is like a career, it is the accumulation of trust in yourself and the trust given to you by others. If you dont have trust in yourself to begin with, you will never climb, which fundamentally makes it a psychological problem. This problem is larger in adult players because they are not...

I just want to see someone playing at a high level that has played for so little time as you have. I may need to reconsider my project if you have reached a level like that because I play a lot and maybe table tennis is not for me. My goal so far has been to not lose against people that have...

Stiga Offensive Classic apparently has a thin limba outer ply. I also thought it was koto, and this is the blade I have been using for a year now, but someone on this forum said that this is only the really old ones that have it. I have now bought a Avalox P500, but I am not goint to make the...
