3 month update: grip is still decent, would rate 6-7/10. I generally don't have problems opening backspin on BH. The only time it happens, I know my technique has failed me Very good control. I feel like if I am positioned properly, I can block anything coming my way with good control and...

FZD is a big Real Madrid fan. I believe he is doing the Mbappe celebration, so probably a homage of sorts:

Whenever I hit my FH on the FH, I move in such a way that I sort of get stuck on the FH side, having to use my BH So I guess this is a two-part question What footwork is generally used to hit FH shots on the FH side (doesn't have to be super wide), while still maintaining general balance? Is...

Great breakdown, thank you. It's early days of pivot 3rd ball training but that's exactly what I am trying to get a feel for; what serves give me what options. In part my question was triggered by the latest musclepong video. I saw his Taiwanese coach tell him to recover directly more towards...

This is very helpful as my hesitation is often because of this issue; opponent catching me out. This probably tells me my serve quality needs to be better too. Also, I thought Hemming stopped posting TT related stuff?

Mostly long serve, especially fast. Thanks, definitely agree on the "go full in". The key it sounds like is taking the bet and trusting your serve to narrow their options right into your pivot

I have been trying recently to do some 3rd ball FH pivot open up drills and had some questions, I haven't been able to find clearer answers for: 1. Are you supposed to decide before your serve (based where you think receive will come) that you will pivot? Or do you decide after serving and...

Agreed; it'll be really interesting as Truls is similarly loud. I do think LSD's mental for his age when it comes to crowd is rock-solid probably because he has had plenty of practice; I mean he's cheered against most games in the Super League

So I have had two training sessions and a play session (vs weaker opponents though). Here are a few thoughts: coming from Palio AK 47 (blue), the throw angle didn't seem low to me. In fact on some shots, it felt just as bouncy as the Palio It has decent grip though I was expecting a bit...

So I finally put the Telson 100 on the BH. Will try it out tomorrow, looking forward to it. It IS a bit heavier than I am used to but let's see how it goes.

The Loki prices good pretty good actually. are these the final prices you'll be paying for shipping to US? Or will there some tariff too on top?

Coincidentally, did a 10 minute push drill the other day with the goal of either winning point through placement or eventually open up by 3rd ball. As an intermediate player, found it very useful to focus on pushes. The drill allowed me to practice the following two game situations: (i) I push...

Eyo! The Panda returns! Just wanted to say your 8 FH mistakes video is still one of my all time great FH vids (alongside PechPong's ofc) ... make more :DD

I have been feeling bad for Lin Shidong who gets cheered against every game. Must not be a nice feeling for the #1 ranked player not getting crowd support in his own country.

I have been struggling recently with what I consider a strength; my FH open up vs underspin. I was consistently late to the ball, I would find myself leaning back. It was pretty terrible, as I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong; I always record myself but had neglected to do my reviews...

You thinking of keeping it on the BH after Rakza 7?

Great post!

This. I was struggling with a death grip but the last 2-3 weeks, I have begun much more relaxed. Two things are working for me: 1. I had a FH grip with only my index finger on the rubber and my thumb on the handle. Because of this, I had to stabilize by holding the handle. During matches, this...

Just me but I would love to watch all matches from this angle! You really get to appreciate the speed of these athletes.

I do have a BH vs underspin that is forward-oriented so that's good to hear. Can you say more about the throw and its sensitivity to spin (for serves esp.)
