  1. Only 1 coach or hire more coaches?

    I often find humans tend to have different phrases and wordings, but often are already talking about the same thing. You should ask questions and find out.
  2. Positioning on 3rd ball/reaction - how to?

    Just play more. Since you are a beginner and everyone is better than you, you have trouble figuring out what will happen next. That's really normal when you play against a better player. ////////////// What happens if you play with another beginner? I have a feeling that your positioning and...
  3. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Switched from Bluegrip J1 to Zyre on both sides last Tuesday and play an informal league today, so I had 5 days to get used to Zyre (and I did; did well in the league). It was really weird on the first few days, but by Saturday I was feeling alright. Specifically, serves went into the net...
  4. From what level on does the right "modern" style matter?

    Lol what glaring weakness and how to exploit it?
  5. SpinSight users post your experience and reviews

    Read carefully. Camera placement, lighting, iphone camera type. //////// I’ve used someone else’s spinsight a little while ago and found that if the camera sees another table, it becomes a lot worse. Better to make sure you pick a table and camera spot where the camera only sees your table...
  6. SpinSight users post your experience and reviews

    Both are true. You guys care about equipment way too much. And 10% more spin matters a lot.
  7. From what level on does the right "modern" style matter?

    It matters at every level. It’s just less noticeable at amateur level because it is overshadowed by blunders everywhere. But it is wrong to say that just because it is overshadowed, it doesn’t matter. Of course, once there’s fewer blunders, the disadvantages of an outdated style become a...
  8. Should every beginner be an offensive style player?

    I never thought about it that way. Though, I think there would be more choppers if really is more consistent than a loop. And there is one more thing: When defending, the incoming ball can be really fast and you have to read it. When attacking, the incoming ball is not very fast and you have...
  9. Should every beginner be an offensive style player?

    Absolutely yes, with 1 exception. //////////////////// Literally, the laws of physics (the magnus effect) makes topspin the best spin. It gives the greatest margin for error. Heavy topspin is literally the most consistent shot in the game. Also, you get so many opportunities to practice...
  10. Penhold Straight vs Curved Fingers

    I play with curved fingers. personally i never deeply looked into this topic, until i figured something out just now (thanks guys). I'll share with you guys ////////////// holding with curved fingers is a lot closer to a "fist", which I can grip with a LOT of power (and so can you). If you...
  11. Let's talk about Backhand...

    Learn both for sure. Like why would you “refuse to learn” something? (That’s a great way to get stuck at a certain rating) But it really is not “one or the other”. These strokes are all on a spectrum. Just different combinations of moving your racket from point A to B at a certain racket...
  12. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    5:16 The ball is lower. Compare with 5:21 The ball is higher. The harder you hit, the more you need to care about these small details
  13. Any online gamers over here?

    I used to play on JSTris. Playing too much started to hurt my hands tho, especially when i did my first 40L sprint under 40 seconds
  14. Tony has been banned and won't return

    FYI I also timeout users on discord (for starting drama, I’ll tell them to just dm each other instead). 2 days is a lot though. I would choose 3 hours minimum. 1 day maximum. Maybe more if they are a repeat offender. You guys should look at this from a moderation point of view. It doesn’t...
  15. Sleeping after a late TT session

    Are you unsatisfied with how you played that day? Being unsatisfied with your day can keep you awake. Happens to me when I think about what I can do better, replaying points in my head. My solution is to be satisfied with what I learned today, write it down in my notes so I can work on it...
  16. What makes more difference - rubbers or blades

    @NextLevel Just stop responding to these marketers. Let this thread die. the blade believers probably didn't experience the hurricane+tenergy combo era. the blade can be anything. as long as you put on hurricane+tenergy, we could all borrow and try out each other's blade and loop hard...
  17. What makes more difference - rubbers or blades

    @NextLevel , you are arguing against full-time unpaid marketing employees of tt equipment companies.
