Haha, too much praise, although I do admit that my serve is at a higher level than my actual playing level (you're lucky I was only serving one spin :P ). shhhh don't tell anybody else about my secret weapon I notice that Kenny is giving you multiball in CCCF. That backhand looks good! I look...

You don't know how to loop a top spin serve? Go learn. Looping topspin is how you reach higher and higher levels. Without that skill, you are limiting yourself to lower level play. Either way, if you can't read the serve, you have two options. You can gamble and try to attack the serve (with a...

If you know that passively returning it is a problem, then stop doing that. Looping serves (if possible) is a much better option. You can loop it really slow and high if you want (since your opponent is playing anti, it shouldn't be that big of an issue). However, in the end, you have to...

Step 1: you have to be confident in that you won't miss. Step 2: consciously try to use in in practice game scenario. do practice points over and over again and use it every time, even if you miss Step 3: consciously try to use it in a real game Step 4: keep doing it until you don't have to...

Your backhand seems to be the punchy/blocky kind. It's pretty good for your level. Your forehand needs work though. I'd say you should work on looping the ball and using it more when you play, since it is a much more reliable attack than hitting. Also, as a left handed player, you should try...

Are you guys talking about Mark Berg?

Oh you missed me. I am usually in the city on weekends, but I play at NYISC, which is a short bus ride from the Flushing train station. You'll probably get to see 42andBackPains as well

If you know how it works, you can use this for pretty much any sport or game that uses points to win.

I made a calculator based on the your probability of winning a point. Obviously, table tennis is not that simple, but it's a fun toy to mess around with. You can save it and use it for yourself, but for now, I made it so that anyone can edit it (hopefully, none of you mess it up). You only need...

I made a new document that has a correct percentage in row 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S5RJjMXYZyyY4PdtYwFawC3Vg_7-ftWgZDz_mjViyNo/edit?usp=sharing I highly recommend that the forum members check out the data for themselves. The real percentage of winning when serving is 52.61%...

Usually, I don't involve myself with feuds like this, but I'm curious. Atas Newton, can I see the data that gives you the stats that you are referrring to? Or at least, a source? EDIT: I think Ma Long is a special case and an unfair example. Ma Long has always seems to be a player that didn't...

I'm thinking about what a rule like this would mean for professional play. So here are my thoughts: There are two new possibilities with a rule like this: a serve that almost touches the net and a serve that almost goes out. Let's discuss the serve that almost goes out. Your original post...

Maybe I was wrong about myself :P It could be 50-50, but there's definitely overlap between the handle and blade. Here's a close up of my grip Here's an alternate of Xu Xin, I think both ways will probably work, but I'll have to test out the effects of forehand and backhand later today

In my opinion, I don't think your tip of the index finger should be on the handle. I think it should be between the rubber and the handle. Here are two examples of me, Here: And here: https://goo.gl/9ko6Ky

When I'm feeling lazy or tired, I go for the He Zhi Wen game :) except instead of blocking, I go for the counterloop on to the opposite counter.

All right: Lefty here. I understand your problem because I've had it myself. We are used to serves that curve towards our elbow, so when normal right-handed pendulum serves come to us, we are used to moving the racket towards the elbow. When the other sidespin comes, it will be curving away...

Hi guys. To be clear, I’m not the David that the above posts mentioned. Today, I had a pretty crazy day. I played in the NCTTA Regional Individual Championships. In order to directly qualify for nationals, I had to make the top 8 spots (make it to quarterfinals). My day started off in the...

I played at NCTTA Regional Team Championships today. My team got third overall, so we directly qualify for nationals (YAY) I played really well today. I had no bad losses, and I managed to beat two 2300+ players today. I also managed to play Adar Alguetti today (-7, -7, -6). It was a pretty...

I think before the new system came along, I was able to see histograms of how spread out the ratings were and see where the median rating was and such. After the new system, the page still worked for a short amount of time, before it was completely gone. I don't remember exactly when, but I'll...

I've had this blade for around 4 years. I switch out my rubbers every 4 months or so. so like 25 rubbers
