  1. Why do I get so nervous when playing a match?

    very interesting @AchyGeorge my most basic training = putting another ball back on the table (consistency) so perhaps during competition, adrenaline shooting, i revert to my most basic training, which is not pissing the rally/point away ... from recent competition recording, i saw more...
  2. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Hi all, just in case y'all didn’t know: Tournament Pressure is a Thing! My recent participation was a real out-of-body experience I could not recognize that guy in the video, whiffing so many FH loops vs backspin As I compete vs these year 2, year 3 professionally trained kids, I realize...

    Howdy doody Brs: Thanks for going through the process on my read of your first game like I said – not an easy exercise b/c i am not always confident in what I see, then turn around, making comments I am more use to listening to what others have to say why I won or lost Some of your comments...

  6. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    seeing progress Wrighty, seeing progress (y) i particularly like the way your FH brushes the ball, generating more spin and control the quality of the FH loop allows us to retain or gain control of the rally (or at least staying even, not pissing the point away), with the hope of setting up a...

  8. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    @Brs Thank you for posting and the opportunity to provide feedback on your first game. This is not an easy exercise for me Firstly I love the compactness of your BH (0:26) I also like your ability to return serve returns early (1:54) It is my opinion service return is one of your strengths...
  9. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    @Wrighty67 at a facility with more space, consider recording your FH from 5 o'clock i.e. several feet behind your right hip (to the right a bit), this angle clearly shows how you load both feet (right & left), hip/trunk rotation & their involvement, how you set your racket in the ready position...

  15. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    => i tink i am making winning (losing) too big of a deal, each does not define me => in fact, caring so much increase my expectation and make me very anxious & early contacting incoming balls => yes, learning to use matches to guide training => i am not as frustrated if i play decent...

    Greetings @Tony's Table Tennis: I have been reviewing earlier posts in the thread and came across your feedback I took it to heart, although watched only initial 50 points of a January 2023 match, noting each takeaway along the way (i've played Jeremy many times) I jotted down in my player...
  17. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Tactical intelligence is a legit skill that should be (and hopefully can be) acquired, honed and developed Although when one takes a look at any of my round robin matches today, TI was low to none existence on many ends Twice was I up (2 – 0), went on to lose both matches (got ahead of...

  20. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Yup, service return is one of my two top training priorities in 2023, need to decrease (get rid of) serve return pre-decision, more often than not it put me in a "oh crap" situation There are many things you could be doing with your time Brs. So thanks a lot for engaging and share from your...
