What a cliffhanger! Tell us!!!

I have seen Sven Happek play in a Swiss tournament last year :) great fun! His backhand looks so unnatural >.<

Wow what a cool test! I am strongly left eye dominated.... didn't think so! I don't even see the thing anymore if I close my left eye! However, if I really focus on something the thing i focus on moves about the same distance when i close either eye, just the opposite way. Ps: Someday i am FH...

The Christmas/new year break is over! Today we played Gland in the round of 64 in the Swiss cup. We won 11:4 ! I won the doubles 1 with a B14 player against a B11 and under classed C6 (I am D4). And my two single matches.

I had a lot of fun reading through this, as I have beeb playing TT for 3 years I faced many of those players. First i was like you, denying their skills. However, its much more fun to aknowledge that kind of game and take it as a challenge. I stand 24:0 in a league full of those players now. (We...

I never thought about tip number 1 :D I do that sometimes in matches, but just to confuse them. Next time i gotta watch how they receive it!

Oh I didn't know that! Need to check that out then!

I'd say about 50/50... not sure anymore. The hidden serves are the ones that were played 15 years ago, with the arm in front to hide the contact point. I only played him once so far and probably won't for some time as his clubs is pretty far away.

Jan Ove Waldner Footage of all Matches! I found this amazing 4 hour film of all of Waldners big matches! I enjoyed it very much! Thanks to Gary Ruderman for making this amazing piece of art!

Unfortunately he does :-P In US ttr he would be at 2200 to 2300 i think. He played in the second highest league in switzerland. He is older now but has the most insane touch.

Thanks for your ideas. I like your approach carl. I ll try that the next time. Maybe I should work on a hidden serve for situations like that :)

Sometimes you face an opponent that has an illegal serves. What do you do about it? In my case I tend to say nothing at first, but if he does it again and again I do tell him. Now you know how that is in clubs without a referee.... Some just don't give a **** . What do you do in those cases...

This video goes against everything i heard about grip. I thought you hold the bat firmly with your index finger and thumb, sort like a pinch grip. The other fingers would just lightly support the grip. This way your underarm muscles stay relaxed... i am intrigued and i want to try it out. The...

Great Idea with the resolution from last year! I found mine as well :D So for point one, i think i definitely improved. However, I lost a bit of motivation and fun playing tt.... planing on changing that for the new year! Hell yea! My topspin stroke is still not stable >.< I feel like I play...

Yesterday i was thinking about tabletennis mechanics and physics. Tried some stuff out for serves etc and ended up doing the spin catcher! :D I noticed that its way easier with plastic balls than with celluloid. I always thought the spin catcher is impossible for mortals :-P Turns out with the...

Go go spin avoidance squad!! :D Btw what do you think about the TTD Academy?

Thank you so much for that post! This actually concerns me deeply. I started to to go back and loop the ball when it has less spin and that is under the table most of the time... which is indeed madness and it made me frustrated with the game big time! I think I never ever was as demotivated in...

Merry Christmas dear TTD friends! So much interesting stuff being written here. I have a question, about the ball shaped stroke or thick contact. Does that mean you should start the stroke with a more opened racket face and then close it while brushing the ball to lessen the chance to hit an...

Haha Jea! I saw it and was like wtf?! What di he just do? Had to rewatch it a couple times. Imagine if he'd missed it >.<
