  1. All things service

    I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but they are Chinese. Just because they don't have a Chinese accent in their voice... ;sigh; You probably don't know what a Chinese name looks like either, because Han Xiao is Chinese. One more thing, just because they are Chinese does not mean they are...

    hah, this was me when I first started playing. I still play using this concept today. I'd rather lose the point trying to attack, because I know that I will improve and that I will be able to do it one day. In the end, I don't really care about winning the game. I just want to improve. I might...
  3. Let's talk about seamless plastic ball

    Each one lasted more than a month? I can only assume that you don't hit very hard. Either that or you have balls of steel. Nittaku premiums are better and longer lasting. But not the ones made in China. Xiom makes poly balls that play exactly like XushaoFa balls, but are more durable. Double...
  4. upgrading equipment advice penhold

    please change your text color. black on dark grey is absolutely terrible to look at. I am a lefty penhold RPB aggressive looper. I currently play DHS Skyline 3 neo for my forehand. I don't see a reason why to change that. I used to use Xiom for my RPB actually, but that's just preference. Now...
  5. Playing against Anti Spin Rubbers

    Similar to what was said above, they are actually similar to long pips. Follow the tactics said above. Don't push too much. However, you should take note that although the anti spin doesn't spin very well, they can return some spin back to you. They are basically shitty long pips. If you give...

    Two things: 1. I notice that your service needs a little more work. More variation. I like serving long topspin to the pips too, so I understand why you do it, but you will definitely get more mistakes if you varied, like short to the forehand. 2. You started playing more defensively...

    At least he gives credit where credit is due. He actually made another video. He speaks French too. He actually makes footage of himself, but only of himself drawing. He does bash on European stuff quite a lot, to the point where it is kind of uncomfortable. His emphasis on acceleration...
  8. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I'm a guy that has never actually does TPB. I always go RPB when my backhand is forced. A good way to practice a reflexive RPB block/attack is to have someone attack you on both corners. Your partner can start out with just drives and can slowly ramp it up. I still favor my forehand though...

    On the side note: I've been looking at myself lately and I realize, I hate watching myself play, and I hate watching Wong Chun Ting play. It turns out, our strokes are pretty similar. And so it hit me... We both stick our butts out when we play and we both have the same weird looking...

    HEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, Your forehand is able to topspin now! Congrats for reaching that milestone! Also, your serve looks way more legit now. To be honest, I haven't been looking at your past videos too much, but these few videos here show that you are learning. ******** You still have a...

    THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SEE THIS COMEDY GOLD! HOW DID I MISS THIS??? On a more serious note, internet anonymity is a power to be wary of. Most people do not abuse this power, but some people are malicious when they wield their anonymity like this. P.S. Thanks Carl
  12. Opening Backhand flick

    Reverse side spin from a righty to a righty is sort of the same as a normal side spin pendulum from a righty to a lefty. As a lot of people have already said, it is probably the best that you test out hitting different parts of the ball. The reverse side spin makes it an awkward shot because...

    About the actual video: @EmRatThich for the sake of producing better videos, the letter 'c' in the word 'muscle' is silent. So pronounce it as 'mussle.' English is clearly not your first language, but keep up the effort! As for the actual quality of the content: not bad. Keep it up...

    I feel like this is a symptom of players who only practice driving and looping the ball all day without playing games. I've seen players that train all day without developing a great serve (also service return). If you find players that have no formal training whatsoever that are around 2000...

    Porque no los dos? Why not do both? I do both. Your opponent will catch on if you keep attacking the same spot, so mixed it up. But you still want to win points, so you will still want to attack their weak spot the majority of the time.

    Hi guys. A few days ago, I had to change my backhand stroke again to an older version of what I used to do. Again, I hope that this will be the last time. The swing is much more solid and it is much easier to contact and hit the ball hard. Backhand looping became a lot more consistent. It also...
  17. How long/often do we practice?

    My practice times range from 10 hours to 50 hours per week. Depends if I have school or on vacation. Usually I would say 20 hours per week

    From what I've heard from people, start the stroke from your ears.
  19. forehand topspin

    I am assuming you are talking about looping against topspin. If you are closer to the table, you will probably be looping at the top of the bounce or even before that (top of the bounce is ideal). Because of that you will have to raise your backswing and spin the ball forwards to prevent the...
