Nearly ALL the professionally trained youth under USATT 2000 level and a LOT of the California adult learner players with no coach are counter hitting vs incoming loop... a few manage to counter loop. New gen ABS ball changed EVERYTHING and makes it much easier to hit through spin and so many...

BTW, for the public record, if, you, as a foreigner TRY, (I mean you dont even need to succeed) to learn to say so much as hello and sorry in Korean, the Koreans WILL be very happy to work with you. PERIOD. If you have great skill in TT, you are rock star. if you suck at tt, but love to play...

But yes, dude PM'd me and I showed him how to locate TT action with a few no miss places.

Der_Echte is a fraudulent internet hack... so sez the interntz and modern news media.

I would argue it is an outstanding anaerobic experience. Much explosive movements and power generation/transfer.

Have to agree with what you said.

Of course I am making a huge assumption that England copies and pastes ITTF rules for the amateur organized play... if that is the case, then Der_Echte is a huge azz dumbo jumbo loudmouth and owes all of England an apology.

Hi blahness, I get it, that player DOES toss the ball vertical, but it is only projected upwards 1-2 inches... and for the type of serve he is doing, it makes it WAY easier to do and provides an unfair advantage in excess of the expected advantage a serve is supposed to give you support an...

Ditto dat Rush... but seriously, the delusion Nittaku Ball Snobs exhibit is next level stuff. The situation is actually several times worse than what and how @Jslick89 is presenting it... way worse. The DJ40+ ball with actual QC check is the finest ball an amateur will hit with... bounces...

WHERE and WHAT CIRCUMSTANCE would Der_Echte not pursue opponent serving legally? Practice Friendly Church Sanctioned tourney match where I know I have already been eliminated from advancing and there is no profit from forcing things. (and I also want live sanctioned match practice reps facing...

As for this opponent's serve... hugely clearly ILLEGAL. He moves ball and hand upwards, then lets go of ball... the ball is projected upwards maximum 1-2 inches. This is so damn easy to make variety of serve difficult to discern. much more difficult to project ball upwards minimum 6 inches to...

Hi Wrighty, I looked at the vid of the one game shown. (I am like Ghosten want to see the whole match) Where your opponent looped slow and heavy... and where you tried to counter it... most of the time the ball landed way more shallow (closer to the net on your side first bounce) than you...

You try to take off the glue from the rubber and you will likely ruin the sponge. Just let it sit overnight and it will likely look a lot better.

There was a USA sanctioned tourney a decade ago where my opponent served illegally, I complained to TD and got an umpire... and I still lost the match. All I could do was shake opponent's hand after the match, say good match, accept my loss and move on. I could say I felt better exercising my...

Oh... sometimes a TD will NOT assign an umpire to the match after you complain... of course you could and should write a letter to the USATT CEO explaining the circumstances and events... ... but you still have a match to play. If opponent STILL serves illegally and blatantly... then you should...

Here is what I advise for illegal servers in USA sanctioned tourneys. Everything flows from knowing the laws of table tennis and the tourney organization. Step one: on the first illegal serve, do not attempt to receive it, hold up non playing hand and say LET. Tell player their serve was...

That could be one way to get into quick trouble. Not every point in TT needs to be won with a domineering attacking shot. Yes, true. I always try to articulate that generating power is a sequence of timed explosions creating, amplifying, and delivering kinetic energy. Hey Big D, I should...

This is good to consider. Different coaches have different opinions on this. (use of the off hand on the BH stroke) Some say to use for balance and recovery. Some say to project off hand outward with stroke to provide extra leverage and force delivery. Personally, I am more on the use for...

The cheapest way is to open a business, then a business account with the web storefront provider (Shopify, eBay, etc) that has discount plans with USPS and UPS. Of course, you are not ready for business, so pay full retail for a few ounces. The cost to maintain such an account is many times...
