Thank you for the advice @Lula, @Der_Echte, @NextLevel. I want to take some time today to go more in depth with what you've written and see how it goes at practice today.

Just getting to this now, so thank you @Der_Echte for the pointers. A few questions: 1. What would be the optimal starting position for where my arm would be? Just closer to my abdomen like you had mentioned in the last tip (and NL as well)? 2. I definitely struggle against a slower playstyle...

Hey all, I have a couple of practice matches for review. Have been getting coached for about 4.5 months now, once a week. Been dealing with on and off stiffness in my legs (apparently for a long time), but I think I'm making some progress from when I last posted here. I struggle with positioning...

Did some movement drills and practice matches tonight. Absolutely exhausted. Finally got a few matches recorded, so I'll go through those, edit, and hopefully post this weekend if I can get to it.

Focusing a lot on footwork drills the past month. Having trouble with dealing with half-long balls to my forehand and this video has come out at the perfect time.

I think I've found a big component that has been hindering my playing without my noticing. I took a month off from lifting, loss some mass, and found that my footwork, energy levels, and sleep quality dramatically increased. Probably burned myself out physically from lifting + practice. Started...

Watched some U2000 and U2400 bracket matches from the US Open this weekend on stream. Interesting to see how different players at different ranks play.

I've been having this issue as well and what I was told to try was to get a little more in the forwards direction with my flick if it's in the short to half-long range. I normally have a lot of issues after the flick in terms of getting back into position, so I've been trying to flick towards...

Everything was smooth on the check in. Had a chance to get some play time in during my vacation and got great advice on what I'm doing in a match.

I have a flight coming up soon, and would like to bring my paddle with me to try to get a day or two of practice in. For those in the US, do you pack your paddle on your carry-on or check-in bag?

I've played a few 1400-1500 level players recently and I'm adapting faster to them that before, so I think getting to that level is pretty obtainable next year for me. I think the focus on spin might be something I want to lean into more if I get past that level. I have a version of this and...

Got a lot of compliments on my increase in spin generation last week. Doing some multiball and coordinated practice and that's helped me figure out the positioning I needed for my forehand.

Yeah, some of his returns and placements were so good. Does Ma Jinbao primarily use reverse pendulum for his serve?

Thought Ma Jinbao could have taken that one. Some crazy shots in that match

Incredible match. Lebrun vs Ma Long/Dima is gonna be a treat Hope LSS continues the momentum for future tournaments

Lee Sang Su's flicks are sooo good. Incredible game

One thing that was pointed out to me last tournament I was in was to square my hips more vs having my feet bladed more and focus on the forearm acceleration while keeping my forearm more open. Both you and your opponent do that so it's cool to see the application of it and that's something I...

How large of a step do you end up doing when doing the first part of the split-step? @NextLevel Thanks for the video. You get a lot of acceleration/forearm snap on both strokes. I think the bed/floor exercise video you showed me before makes more sense now watching that.

For sure, I'll try recording later this week with one of my practice partners.

That's definitely something I'll have to be more cognizant of when playing to see if it's occurring when I serve vs my opponent's serve.
