I still haven't been able to follow Fang Bo's exact instructions. I always used to hop probably because I saw higher level players do that. One thing I have recently changed that has helped me is to time my hop. It used to be when the opponent lifted the ball in the air; now I try to time it...

Prices seem to have increased between 25-40% based on what I see. I am currently not buying but that is also because I have rubbers to get through which I had bought prior to the tariffs.

Yeah I really like it. It's a very good exercise training both regular/irregular elements.

In addition to Falkenberg: 2 FH 2 BH 1 middle - 1 random (FH or BH)

Thanks for digging out the video. This is very useful. It is a good reminder to stretch and warm up the hand as well !

Thanks! I really focused on this in today's training. Felt much better.

OP, I was kinda like you when I started self-learning last year (no $$ for coaching.. yet). Doing lots of shadow training and as others have mentioned, I probably over exaggerated my actions, especially FH vs underspin. I still think it is a very useful exercise as long as you understand shadow...

I like this idea of starting training with delicate touch play. Currently, I play a few drives on both sides before doing a drill where I attempt 30 loops in a row on both sides. Definitely not a delicate way to start! Starting gently before getting into transitioning harder shots sounds more...

Thank you for the video and the tips. Very interesting! My issue is that currently, I use my lower three fingers and wrap around the racket too tightly (or it becomes tight during gameplay) ; this really tenses up the arm. I was thinking of trying of trying to hold the racket just with my thumb...

I have been struggling death-gripping especially in the last couple of weeks. My usual go-to was to take the blade out of my hand and blow on my hands to relax the hand but it hasn't been super successful during this period. For those, who have fixed it or have helped others fix it, how have...

What is the best way to approach reading the depth of the serve? Does this mean, just like one tries to watch contact point and racket movement, that one should focus intently on where the first bounce of the serve is?

To echo a few other comments, this has been a very helpful thread for me personally. I am in the same boat as @TensorBackhand in terms not having any coaching currently but for budgeting reasons. In the absence of that, I found that I have been able to improve my game play by relying...

Amazing! thanks @Olio and @ttarc Would love some recommendations on Asian forums as well

I ordered a H3Neo and a couple of other things on the 15th and I just received it today. Fastest I have gotten anything from AliEx My next order (in cart) shows a delivery window between 29th April - May 2nd so I am not going to risk anything extra, until there is clarity in law/application

Any personal recommendations for TTD style online forums based in specific countries, e.g. China, Japan, France, Germany, Sweden, India, Brazil, etc.? Hoping that with better quality translation apps out there, I can learn/view different ways of looking at TT

Looks authentic enough to me! Not that you need to, but you can also ask who you are buying from where they got it from. If it is from TT11 or megaspin, etc. that'll confirm it even more. I would say around between $90-$110ish would be a good price given reasonable wear and tear in the US...

Is the de minimis still slated to go into affect on May 2nd? Considering putting in a last order

Haha, probably will only try and get some Hurricane rubbers (commercial and prov.) then. I am pretty sure they are too cheap to be faked ... right?

I have a friend visiting China soon and I was wondering if it is worth having him get me a DHS blade and a bunch of H3Ns. Would there be a significant price differential versus buying off of Aliexpress?

I like all of these tips. For (1), I usually try and do deep breathing walking to the hall but yesterday I think just got like a time-anxiety since lots of players had shown up and I wanted to quickly get a game
