  2. Mindset Advice: Playing Someone You've Always Lost To

    Following the example of a teammate who improved a lot and faster than me (I used to beat him when we first played together but now i have very little chance...), I've started taking notes of each opponent after each match. So that when there is a rematch, i will know what worked and not last...
  3. How to handle very spiny loops?

    i used to be very bad at blocking those balls, and be afraid everytime it came at me. As someone mentioned above, i think the key point is to have a downward movement with the racket, and thats actually true not just with loops but also on a drive. so you should start with the racket high...
  4. Misreading Spin of Service

    This is my biggest weakness as well and unfortunately I don’t think there is any easy fix. But over the last month thinking hard about some solutions and how to do better: - we need to wait more to see the ball. Don’t anticipate. I realize that sometimes I started moving even slightly BEFORE...

    ok I think I I think I start to understand. I serve reverse side spin to short FH (assume we are both RH handed players) If they went with the spin, it means for example they contact the ball on the RIGHT side with the racket going from left TO RIGHT ) ? That’s what you call the tomahawk chop...

    To be more precise, usually i serve from middle FH side, facing the table. My goal is to have a reverse sidespin serve to the opponents FH because a lot of players don't like it, especially in Japan where there is a lot of penholders very strong at waiting for serves to their BH and pivoting...

    What time ? Saturdays are crowded with kids . It’s a one hour slot system and if there are too many people there is a priority and lottery system to ensure everyone can play. It may mean that you need to wait one hour between available slots. Usually 9-10 12-13 and 20–22 is less crowded

    Alexis was injured before the event so I didn’t count him or his doubles Felix lost early to An Jaehyun. To be honest I wasn’t expecting that at all. So much that I didn’t even watch this match. I didn’t even see the replay. I don’t know if Felix lost or just An was in a great day and there was...
