  2. USATT Rating Stats Page: what happened to it?

    Can you screen shot and post what you see? I'm not talking about the rankings. I'm talking about the specific TT Stats page, which shows data about all USATT players.
  3. USATT Rating Stats Page: what happened to it?

    Really? what browser are you on? on your mobile or PC? EDIT: It doesn't seem to work for me on anything (firefox, microsoft edge, chrome) All I get is this no matter what I do. What do you see?
  4. USATT Rating Stats Page: what happened to it?

    I am referring to this page: https://www.teamusa.org/usa-table-tennis/ratings/ratings-stats-by-ttspin I remember a page that used to work. Does anyone know what happened to it? Is anyone working on it? EDIT: here i am, hoping that Matt Hetherington sees this or something.
  5. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I normally go to a club with no partner. I just find somebody to practice with. I remember when I first started, no one really wanted to practice with me, so all I did was practice my serve (my service experience from then carries on till this day). Practice your old serves, new serve...
  6. In search of the perfect game ...

    Here are my thoughts: I admit that there are problems with table tennis as a spectator sport, but I think the image of table tennis is a bigger issue, meaning it needs better promotion. It's casual unimpressiveness is what everybody will think of if they never see real competitive play. I have...
  7. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Checking out the website. That's definitely the old CCCF. Also, I find it nice that Rick (Rick Lewis, I believe?) is give out free lessons there. I guess I'll be sticking to NYISC for now. I've found that there usually isn't much floor space for me in CCCF.
  8. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Wait, your new club is the old CCCF? It got turned into a rec center? Can you give me details? If it's a good club, I might show up (since it's a 7 minute walk from my house) I've been playing at NYISC on Saturdays lately, but if anyone in Flushing wants to practice with me on weekends, tell me!
  9. What's your opinion on important skills for playing Table Tennis?

    In general, observation is a very important skill, and table tennis is no exception. One of the first things that a developing player needs to learn is how to read spin that the opponent creates. Also, tracking the ball and learning to anticipate where the ball will go also are very important...
  10. Have Your Voice Heard on the ITTF Global Strategic Plan

    Everybody, if you are like me and want a diagonal camera angle, do the survey!
  11. Wearing glasses- varifocals or single vision?

    Usually, I'm looking at the court. But when I need to play at my very best, I track the ball a little bit more for some bonus consistency (like how PGPG described). When the ball is kicking (bouncing forward faster due to a lot of topspin) at the bounce, I feel more of a need to look at it. I...
  12. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    Can any of you guys help me find a video of Xu Xin and Wang Hao practicing. I remember that in the video, they did backhand to backhand. It also had Ma Long on another table doing forehands (and he did a dramatic motion when he missed one)
  13. Best way of perfecting footwork?

    For starters, one of the most important aspects is knowing where to stand at a given moment. http://www.allabouttabletennis.com/table-tennis-tactics-2.html If you scroll down that page, there are good pictures that show you where to recover and be ready for the next shot. Here's the picture for...
  14. Differences in how to spin the ball: Chinese and European rubbers

    Thank you all for your reponses! After some practice today, I can definitely say that focusing on using the sponge to spin the ball gave me more consistent results (looping and flipping). Just out of curiosity, anybody, how would you describe spinning the ball with a rubber like Hurricane as...
  15. Trial C-pen?

    I went from SH to PH when I first started. It was mainly because swinging hard with shakehand hurt my wrist for some reason. I tried penhold, learned RPB from the start and here I am! Here's how I hold it. I never use TPB. I RPB all the time, but I'm still a forehand dominant player. Been...
  16. Differences in how to spin the ball: Chinese and European rubbers

    I'm not an equipment expert at all. I feel like I'm asking an extremely common sense question, but for softer rubbers, you generate spin mainly by using the sponge? (as opposed to closing your racket more to spin the top of the ball for tacky rubbers) I heard this while going through...

    Penholders are the norm in the clubs that I have played at. More shakehand players would be a change. The only way to entice me is with good players :D

    So I met 42andbackpains today at NYISC. Apparently, he's there every Saturday. I found it shocking that he tried and tested 4 rubbers in such a short time. Are all EJ's like that? I played at NYISC where I met a bunch of players I haven't seen in a long time. Many members from CCCF, NYITTC, and...
  19. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    The camera angles aren't very good, so it's hard to judge. I'd recommend a front view that's not too high Your RPB looks like a Wong Chun Ting style RPB, which I use to do (I'm currently trying to raise my elbow as an experiment). I can't really see what your are doing though, but I can see...
  20. What's really going on.

    the rubbers on the new paddle can generate lots of spin because the racket can grip the ball with friction. However, at the same time, that means the racket is now a lot more sensitive to spin, since the ball can grip the racket with friction. You are simply not familiar with playing with...
