Interesting story @Tyce I think its down to personal preference and feel, but also someones current envoirement. Lets say an absolute beginner plays with a Viscaria and Dignics 05 on both sides. Even though most people consider it to be a way too fast setup for him, eventually he will get...

Table tennis just seems to be my natural habitat. I don’t really know how to explain it but I consider myself to be socially awkward in lots of situations. But that all disappears once I enter the sports hall. It just comes naturally all of a sudden.

The 2 most populair ones are: -Rakza 7 -Fastarc G-1 Rakza 7 is a bit more bouncy, but less grippy. Probably easier to play on bh. Fastarc G-1 is not as bouncy, but has more grip. So more grip means more spinny, but also more sensitive to spin and vice verca.

I would advice you to pick 1 thing to focus on at a time. And the most important thing I see for now is the wrist. Make sure you extend it all the way through, your bat should be pointed outwards at the end of each backhand: Right now yours isn’t extended all the way; This one simple tip...

What I did was make sure to get into a ready playing position right after the serve. Because being ready for the next ball is whats most important. Even if your anticipation is good, if you are not ready then you can’t play properly. I would say something to aim for is to be ready before your...

I tried MX-P, its a great rubber for my backhand. But sadly it doesn’t last so long 🥲

Oh wow, I didn’t know that even existed. Now I want one!

Nice to see more events that are closer to my country. I'd love to go to a WTT Series event. Last time I went was 2014 World Cup in Dusseldorf. Unfortunately there aren't many events on the callender that are close-by. Monterpellier is like an 11 hour drive, Frankfurt was do-able I guess, but...

Zhang Jike isn’t gonna be rated n2. He didn’t win that many ittf tournaments. Only the big ones.

Just try the G09C you already have on the forehand as well, as it is litterally the same rubber as D09C with a slower sponge. I think you will like it. It also wouldn't require a drastic change in technique as if you were to switch to H3.

Sorry my bad, I wasn't specific enough. I was specificly aiming at the technique used at 0:35 for FH black video, and 4:48 for the BH one. You can see here against slower attacks the kid is actively pressing the ball down and forward to send it back faster. The active blocking I would consider...

Im sorry but either you don't understand what I mean or you are overestimating yourself a bit here. From what I have seen, you just block all attacks coming at you passively, and you keep doing that until either the opponent eventually misses, or he outplays you. So when you talk about adding...

To get both you need something called 'explosiveness' in you strokes.

Table tennis is about making the least mistakes. So instead of jumping straight into the counterloop kill off the first topspin, I would practice this instead (stable active block: So you pretty much try to put pressure on the opening attack of the opponent by blocking. Then it will be...

Haha no problem, this was a good one for me as well. Here is a short compilation of what my forehand looks like today: I'd say I am very happy with the progress I made so far. Whenever I get my forehand in, its my point 99% of the time. What did I change compared to the start of the year...

Im not talking about pushing, Im talking about attacking it here. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough. Also like I mentioned in my first post, you should get away from your current mindset of trying to receive to stop the opponent from attacking the 3rd ball. At some point you will reach a level...

Well that means your recieve will need some work. I can't really help you to fix this if I haven't seen you recieve this serve. But it sounds like you just put your bat against the ball. This makes it indeed really hard to control the direction and length of the ball. Always try to neutrelize...

Against players with a good serve and recieve game its hard to prevent them from attacking at all, especially if they don't serve backspin. So instead of thinking "how do I recieve to prevent my opponent from attacking?" you should think more about "How can I make it harder for my opponent to...

As someone who has been plagued by a torn labrum and has been in and out of table tennis for about the last 10 years, I have some experience when it comes to aggravating shoulders. I also played with my left hand for some time, because I tried everything not to have to quit. Unfortunately my...
