  1. Telson 100 on the BH?

    I am currently playing on a commercial HL5 with AK47 blue and H3 Neo 39 OS on the FH. I feel pretty comfortable with the setup overall though I feel I am missing a little something on the BH (it could be my own technical deficiencies). The AK is also just disintegrating and I would like to...
  2. Pressure on Hand Webbing

    Yeah I just sanded it a little bit; feels more comfortable now but next training will tell me more. Have to still keep practicing to have a more relaxed grip
  3. Pressure on Hand Webbing

    Currently working on a looser grip, hopefully that either leads to a natural lowering or at least stops the pressure. Otherwise, might have to put a lower grip on the already long list of fundamentals to practice lol. Well try with the band-aid first, thanks
  4. Pressure on Hand Webbing

    Thanks! I figured sanding might be an option. Have you heard of any non-sanding options?
  5. Pressure on Hand Webbing

    Hello everyone! Currently using a FL commercial HL5 and been really enjoying it. I have also been trying to fix a very tight hand grip and have seen some really good results by (a) adjusting the grip (b) taking racket off between points. It's a slow process but it seems to be working. One...
  6. Yay! Trump removed 145% tariffs from China

    Does anyone have experience buying from prott.vip? Want to get a few things and not sure what the tariff situation is currently?
  7. A weird question relating to muscle memory

    Yeah I am trying to train so I can react more. The only part where I am training to allow thinking on either technique (for practice) or tactics (for serious games), is either before receive or serve. It's good to know, not to fear the instinct!
  8. A weird question relating to muscle memory

    This is very useful., thank you. Yes, I do drop my hands during the rally AND stop breathing lol!
  9. A weird question relating to muscle memory

    I have a weird question. Whenever, I train single shot sequences (third-balls, multi ball pushes into loops, etc.), I am generally intentional to the point I do feel like I am thinking very briefly during my shots. The other day I trained some patterns, especially FH 3rd ball open up - opp...
  10. Lin Yun-Ju serve

    I might be mistaken but I think Larry Hodges once explained this was how Waldner kept the height of his short serves so low
  11. The Outer Arc of the FH loop?

    Hello everyone! I came across this video and was a little confused by what Fang Bo means by inner and outer arc. What I am getting is that in the outer arc, you have to: (a) extend the shot - I understand this as hitting more in front so the red side of the more visible (b) Angle of the...
  12. 3rd ball attack variant

    I guess the fault was allowing my partner to hit full rein; I have become decent enough to do backspin open-up drills (where opponent pushes FH or BH) and so thought I could do topspin serves the same way. Big mistake! So what I am getting from all these helpful responses, maybe it is still...
  13. Mindset Advice: Playing Someone You've Always Lost To

    This kind of question is right up my wheelhouse because I really get into my head thinking about the opponents, I might be playing. A few things help me (I definitely do 1 and 3 all the time): 1. Larry Hodges has always talked about finding the balance between Strategic vs Tactical development...
  14. 3rd ball attack variant

    Usually, whenever I train third ball attack (or open-up), I do backspin balls. Since I serve fast topspin occasionally, I decided, I wanted to practice a third ball attack but with a long topspin serve. After a few sessions of it, I am not sure if this topspin serve 3rd ball variant is even...
  15. Chinese Super League 2025

    A fun point at the end of the FZA Yan An match. Great to see FZD back and smiling during a point
  16. Feedback on forehand topspin

    This is a pretty intermediate-player feedback so obviously, take it with a large pinch of salt. There is body rotation and for someone who hasn't played in a while, the foundations are all there. I'll reiterate @job59 's comment. Even though the body rotation is there, it just feels like the...
  17. Tips for the backhand loop technique

    Yeah agreed video definitely helps more; one of these days, I'll get over my put-face-on-internet phobia loll. Thanks for the advice!
  18. Tips for the backhand loop technique

    So to the side and very slightly in front
  19. Tips for the backhand loop technique

    So my elbow is pointing towards the right. Kind of like 9 PM if you were to watch me from the front
  20. Tips for the backhand loop technique

    Resurrecting this thread as it fits here. So my issue is the elbow moving upwards, which brings the shoulder in the shot. I have tried shadow training with the correct form, tried holding my elbow stable when hitting during practice but eventually, the instability returns. I have been doing...
