oh wow! I took 4 years of Japanese in high school, and I took Japanese last semester in college. I'd be glad to help translate if there's a need.

but you live in Japan and speak Japanese right? May I ask what common phrases that you hear in the club in Japan? I'm imagining stuff like バックハンド、すごい！when complimenting others. do they curse themselves when they make a bad shot?

The new ranking system measures who is more successful rather than who is a better player. This system... I can see why it was changed (to make players more active), but I don't like it

a piano cover of Unravel played by the king of anime piano music - Animenz you know it's good when it has almost 3 times more views than the actual song

In the world of the internet, there will always be criticism, although it is not a bad idea to tackle it head on. I can see where those comments come from, after seeing your seemingly unimpressive(probably the cause of the nasty comments) forehand loop in the looping backspin video. But ignore...

If I owned a VR headset, I would gladly do this for free. You're looking for a pretty small subset of people (good at table tennis, and owns a VR headset), so at the very least, my comment gets helps others see this post, because (as a table tennis lover and as a gamer) I want you to succeed...

Are you talking about Shao Yu? It depends on your playstyle. As a someone who likes to loop with power, I would back up a little, and start looping. I have some time to adjust to the amount of spin. In any case, I wouldn't risk doing a drive if his backhand shot comes too fast or too deep. A...

Only a sith deals in absolutes In general, good timing for performing topspin shots is at the top of the bounce. The timing that I feel is the norm is 1. your backswing happens when your opponent swings. As the opponent's ball is coming towards you (before it bounces), you should be able to...

Thanks!

I almost never ask about equipment, but can anyone figure out what rubber Xue Fei uses on his backhand? I want to test whether a european soft sponge rubber or a chinese hard sponge is better for rpb

If you know how to deal with his no spin serves and counterloop, he's not too difficult to play. However, since you're right handed, I see you'll have a harder time than I would. I usually beat him since I can easily backhand flip his serve and beat him early in the rally.

Hey, is that Benjamin Zhang in the army shirt on the table next to theirs (table 56)? EDIT: probably him

Oh I have three signature serves that catch people off guard. Two of them are down-the-line underspins that don't look like underspin. The third is a sidetopspin that looks like side-under. :P

Today I figured out what was wrong with my pivot forehand. At 8:23, I found that I needed to turn my body to a little more extreme. Slowly but surely, I am learning and improving.

Unless you had a consistent way of winning points (if you did, please tell), he probably wasn't playing seriously. There's not much you can do since there's a huge skill gap. how 'good' your technique is doesn't really matter too much in games if you are at 2200 and below. There are players...

You probably just got outplayed, unless you are 100% sure the pips was the only thing that made you lose. If your opponent is playing offensively with his pips, it wouldn't hurt to back up a little bit. It doesn't hurt to be patient either, since most likely, there will not be much (if any)...

So you are Steve, the lefty penholder? I have found another one of my kind. Judging from the video, the most glaringly obvious weakpoint of yours is that you aren't so great at reading serves. You didn't have to push so much in that match if you realized that a lot of them were half-long and...

Raising the height of the net only limits the shots that we can do now. Lower shots will no longer be possible. Whatever you did with the higher net could also be done with the normal net height right now. I have no idea what you mean by: "due to the angles the higher net allowed me to...

I do know that good lobs have lots of spin, just not enough to be considered heavy; otherwise, it'd be a high loop. But back to the question: can a high, light backspin shot be considered a lob?
