Hello everyone! I am an early-intermediate looking to get a few lessons to get advice+feedback on technique+form (maybe monthly or so) Anyone have advice, information, suggestions on where to get reasonably priced coaches? Not sure how well online coaches work but also open to them (might...

So I finally got my Sanwei F3 Pro with the Big Dipper 39 (FH) and Moon 12 (Medium hard) on (BH). (Thanks @TensorBackhand !) Played a couple of hours and here my thoughts: 1. Big Dipper 39 (FH): tried it without boosting. Coming from Xiom Vega X on FH, it felt slow initially, especially on flat...

Saw this and felt kind of inspired again! ‘I play with happiness’: the table tennis star making her Olympic debut at 58

Thanks! Going to add the Falkenburgs to the routine. Regarding "recover", do you mean after I hit FH or BH, I bring my feet back to equally distributed weight, with a very tiny hop?

I understand that table time is the most valuable for doing footwork/stroke drills but that is not possible given my work-schedule. What have been your favorite SHADOW (key word) footwork drills off the table?

This is a helpful image, thanks!

Hmm. I think it makes sense; what do you mean by fade action? Kind of directing the spin the opponent BH? I need to practise it and it does seem a little counterintuitive to me given how he is hitting his FH to the sidespin.

Hello everyone! I am a right-sided player who struggles against long hook serves + side spins (turning to my left) on my BH. For side-spin, my understanding is I try to kind of drive it back in their BH directly but I am always tentative and that messes up my return more. For hook serves...

How has your experience been with the unboosted 39 on the short game and FH looping? Where do you think it falls short for you?

Which rubber do you use on your FH?

That's really funny; sums up your expertise where even your guesses are probably based on so much knowledge on the matter! Thank you both! Looks like F3 Pro it is.

So my friend has a DHS N301 (pen holder) with the H3 Neo Boosted on FH. Which between Inner 75 or F3 Pro or another sub-$40 option would work that is closer to 301 in characteristics?

Thanks, this context helps. I am going to ask my friend to ask what blade he is using the boosted H3 with. I think that will help matters. Given @TensorBackhand 's sage advice, my gut, very abstract feeling makes me lean towards the F3 Pro. Though I am going to wait until my friend texts me...

Thank you for that personal insight. I guess I am a little afraid if I opt for a faster setup, I am going to hinder my improvement vis-a-vis form and technique. I think in my mind (and budget), it has come down to 75 Inner and F3 Pro. Do you experience with the F3 pro compared to 75 inner?

Thanks for all your help! @TensorBackhand

Sanwei looks promising! Quesiton though: Would these be too fast for me? I have not used a carbon blade yet and would rather not over-index on speed. I was thinking of Fextra 7, for example

Hello everyone! I came back to Table tennis after 10+ years and have been playing for a few months now with Donic Powerplay Persson + Xiom Vega X (FH) + Xiom Vega Europe (BH). I am an early-intermediate player with the following likes/strengths and dislike/weaknesses Likes: Decent FH looping...

This is very useful. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I am clearly not an amazing photographer but do these help?

Hello all, I was attempting to put on my first rubbers. When I took off my old rubbers (11 years old!), I saw that my Donic Persson PowerPlay had chips on one side of the blade (there are two big chips threatening to come out and a few other very thin strands), you can see the picture attached...
