Pffffff, lucky boy!

That's right, and when he's cornered, he always starts serving above the table and moves his body further and further beside away from the table so he can play his serves and reduce the playing field. No referee ever comments on that.

I never saw this before, euhhh it’s special! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1132033794976731/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I didn't know him yet, but he's a very nice player. He'll get there!(y) I just saw his match against Sakai. He could have won that one 1-3 as well, actually (5-7 lead in the 4th set). I do see some areas for improvement, though. He looks back too much (at his coach?), his footwork definitely...

Thank you very much for your contribution. There's nothing wrong with becoming a chopper. I love playing against a classic defence, but I don't enjoy it as much when 'help-rubbers' are used. Now, over the years, we've also learned to get around that clip, so don't take what I just wrote too...

When I see who plays in the French and German leagues, I have my reservations about the Belgian and Dutch leagues, or rather, about the clubs in both countries. What a sad state of affairs in these supposedly wealthy countries that are struggling to find sponsors.

After a while, you don't look at the ball, yes when it hits but not at your racket. My hitting point is always by feel and I always look at the opponent's position then. A friend of mine who is much better and top 100 player in his country says the same thing, his hit-moment is purely on...

Your last sentence is important to me. If she is already good with SP at the age of 10, she certainly started earlier. So the question remains, why did she start doing that. Who or what prompted her to abandon regular rubbers on her BH. I think only the topic starter can answer this. To be...

Indeed, that’s true. I just wonder if she tried with inverters at an even younger age. Did she train long enough with regular rubbers? Who pushed the kid to start playing with SP. I suspect it is always forced on you by others. When you are that age, you can surely master all your strokes, both...

I didn’t ask for a question on my question. That’s not a reason.

Possible.

Yes, I know that, but: why on that age with SP? Why? Give me one good reason. Why do you let a child start SP? That's why I'm curious to know the answer. It’s only a simple question.

I wonder what prompted a 10-year-old child (who probably started even earlier) to play SP? I guess the dad is an SP player.

JWJ, getting better with age!

Then we disagree on that. He takes two steps back for a reason. In 70% of cases, he only blocks the ball (because he is too late) and without any attacking intention. Of course, you won't get anywhere if you want/need to be dominant. And I agree with you that he would indeed be better off...

Not going to happen. Okay he can train on it a bit but his natural reflex/reaction time is too slow. From his FH to his BH is still good but from his BH to his FH his reflexes are not enough to take over his opponent offensively.

I like his swing! :D

Like most of the times…always too late, except the last several months. Then there was some progress. Looks there was something wrong with him.

Oh’s FH is one of the most beautiful FH’s that I saw in the last years.

As I wrote in his own (Faraji) topic, he is going to be injury prone with this FH and then I fear for his future. If he doesn't start adjusting his FH soon, he will be left with a partially torn shoulder tendon in the foreseeable future.
