Yeah, I am trying to compare this to team sports in my paper. It seems that there is a general lack of exposure (and money) in the world of table tennis.

I have an argumentative research paper assignment that I would like to do on Table Tennis. I was thinking about writing about why table tennis in America isn't very popular in America and what can be done to fix that. The only problem is that I don't really know what table tennis is like in...

The reason why you want the side of your finger on the paddle is because of what happens when you use your wrist. Try using your wrist with your fingers flat on the paddle. Then, try using your wrist with the side of your middle finger on the paddle. EDIT: Try doing backhand counter topspins...

Sorry about the news. You are going through tough times right now. I wish you better times in the future.

If you are going to use RPB, the side of your middle finger should be on the paddle. As for the sweat, it happens to me too. I found that peeling and eating tangerines (which I do at the club) makes them stop sweating for some reason. Otherwise, I make sure to dry my hands often during play...

Yes, please send us a video. It will allow us to give better and more specific advice. Video is pretty much the golden rule here on Table Tennis Daily.

Spray it on the rubber. Wipe it gently with the sponge. after spraying, don't spread the dust and grit on the rubber around with the sponge; instead, wipe it off the paddle with the sponge. Use as many sprays as needed. 1 spray is usually enough Dry it by air; you can just wave your paddle around

Ah. Well, it's really hard to tell what level players are on the internet. It is always best to introduce your background beforehand, or take a video of yourself playing beforehand. You can definitely train your mind to predict where the ball will bounce on the table. This way, you will be able...

I'll assume that you are an absolute beginner. I'm sure lots of people will suggest random drills. Have somebody hit to your backhand and forehand randomly. Start slowly. Make sure you are able to do this first. As you get better at this, have the player start hitting balls closer to you...

I love how you say hook looping the serve is the 'craziest thing.' Lefty players have to do this all the time against righty players. Any pendulum serve that we receive that isn't short has to be 'hook looped' with our forehand (most of the time). ****************** all in all, for the...

I generally try to serve by hitting the bottom of the ball. I can still serve heavy underspin and no spin with it. I heard that it is harder to see the direction your paddle is going in when the paddle is flat. If hit the back of the ball, apparently, it is easier to see what direction your...

Am I supposed to be impressed? Your friend put the paddle way too high. The paddle was about 7.5 centimeters (about half the net height)above the net. Also, the paddle is in the wrong spot. It should be more on the server's side, and less on the receiver's side. It's harder Liu Guo Liang's...

I agree with talbon. Unless you already know how to move around the table and want to move around faster, the physical drills won't help very much (they're still good for you to do though). I know lots of physically not-so-fit players that can move around the table really well. I'm going to...

I would advise that you send us a video of you looping You mentioned that you are using h3 neo. Your problem probably isn't your blade, but your rubber. Chinese rubbers are much harder than other kinds of rubbers (unless you boost them), which is why you might blame the blade for the little...

He was mostly giving the big balls for older people to play. Sadly, a lot of the stuff he said were in mandarin that I didn't understand. i don't think he's proposing this. But he commented on how ITTF just wants more money, via equipment and balls

Heavier ball. Harder to spin on the serve. had to hit harder for the same amount of spin

Xu shao fa himself came to Robert's club in Flushing. He gave out some prototype large balls. and I hate them. Here's the ball in comparison to the normal poly Xushaofa ball. I hope ITTF doesn't make balls bigger.

WHAT ARE THESE BACKHANDS???? Xu Xin in 2006. There's a lot less footwork and way more backhands. I would say his backhand is pretty consistent in this video. EDIT: I notice a lot of traditional penhold backhand shots in this video. I wonder if his decision to play a more forehand oriented...

https://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/videos/308-China-Trials-For-WTTC-2017/3409-ma-long-vs-xu-xin-marvellous-12/ It looks like Xu Xin's backhand and forehand flip were pretty good this game.

I used to think the same thing about Xu Xin's forehand flip. But something doesn't make sense if you think about it. It's quite impossible for a world class player to be bad at something fundamental. What you guys see of Xu Xin is just videos of him against other world class players. Xu Xin...
