Yes. It's simple physics really. It's easier to see if your stroke was broken up into x and y components of velocity. Ehhhh half true. I made a post about this a while back. I forget where. The key is to be able to get a looping technique that is ADJUSTABLE. In fact, the loop is meant to be...

I have to go to a wedding this Saturday. So I can't.

Ah, then let me clarify. Larry Hodges's reasoning was that it is difficult to make a good quality return. And then you stated that professionals players probably are good enough to handle the many possible options and can do whatever they want anyways. That implies that professionals players...

I thought about that a little. But difficulty can be overcome with practice. Players can just train against it. I think it just comes down to the weakness and strengths of different types of serves and whichever serves fit you better. There's reason why players use different kinds of serves...

Larry Hodges reasoning is that it is difficult to return. My reasoning is that it gives the opponent options

I disguise my serves well enough. Many people can't read them

Can you give me sources?

I have Chinese rubbers. Just wipe the rubber with something dry. Like the shorts that you wear. I've seen Xu Xin do this before.

I use to think no spin was useless. Now, I get why it has a little use, but I still think it's not that useful. It's only okay for variation purposes. You're basically taking advantage of a weakness that lower level players have, and it's that they 1) can't read spin 2) can't deal with short no...

I hate it when the walls are super white and bright, and when lighting is terrible. I also hate it when the tables themselves are not straight and level. I also hate it when people don't pick up the ball. It makes me think that those people are both deaf and blind. Another is when players...

Should I mention the Alguetti brothers(Adar, Sharon, Gal)? Or the Hugh(Adam and Judy) family?

Definitely Shanxing Wang would be one of the most interesting guys I know. He was in charge of the Flushing Mall location when Robert wasn't around. I heard he went to Mexico, but is back in New York City, but I haven't seen him. He's funny, calm, and easy to talk to. I taught him how to play...

I'm David Song, and I'm a college student. I pick up and drop hobbies a lot, and it turns out, I like skill or stategy based things. aside from Yugioh, ahem, I've played the violin since 2006, but I've kind of stopped in 2015. I guess I was good at it. I would still play if there were any...

Here's one that Wally Green told me: If you are playing against a child prodigy and you happen to be good at counter attacking, then let the kid attack first (by giving them a hard ball first, of course). Then you can counter attack easily. ********** I found that advice really useful...

If you have been playing for a decade and still can't control your stroke, then there is clearly a problem. At the very least, you admitted that you have a problem there, so kudos. ******************* You know what the backhand is supposed to look like right? Have you ever tried to copy the...

I'm not really sure what your level is, or what kind of shot quality you want, but the shots that you are making are pretty good. Good job. Maybe you can show us when you need more spin; maybe it's against underspin, or against half long shots/serves. Against topspin, you seem okay. If you...

No, don't push back. Always loop when you can, because you are still developing. Keeping spinning the ball, but when the ball is slow and high, make sure you go through the ball a little bit. You still should spin it. As for service receive, the only way is to keep playing with other people...

whoops you are the gray shirt. I got confused because blue shirt moved the camera. You are actually much better than your opponent; you just aren't making the right decisions as a player. You don't attack his forehand corner enough. You don't make enough down the line shots by the way...

Nice set of videos! Not only would it be a nice Japanese language review for me, but it would also help reaffirm backhand fundamentals. The key points the videos make are okay for both shakehanders and penholders, so as long as you can read them. ****************** One thing that I love that...

Actually, Japanese people will call it a loop. I know because 1) I took Japanese for 4 years. 2) I talk to Japanese people 3) I watch Japanese Table Tennis Youtube videos. This one is really active https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0ML1BOQVPYv6GLOz854S7w It's just like English. They will call...
