This week in practice, I have been getting a lot of counter forehand winners, which is a first for me. People have been playing me less on by BH, so I'm taking more time to develop my FH.

I've seen someone at a tournament use the Tenaly handle with a Cybershape Carbon a while back. Didn't get too much of an impression of it outside of cleaning my glasses to see if I was seeing things properly.

Akula playing outstanding in Game 4

What a point and insane rally!

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to stay up for some of the matches tonight. This match is all I needed. What an environment

I felt that same way playing against the juniors, granted I know our situations are different. Playing on rubberized mats during the tournament was pretty interesting. I just play on hardwood gym floors, so not slipping and sliding everywhere was nice. @dingyibvs My coach always tells me this...

Yeah taking lessons for 6 months so far once a week, so I know rebuilding my technique is going to take some time. I'm having fun with it, but it's definitely a grind to travel a bit to get coaching and to play in tournaments. One thing I want to work on is to not get so tired during a match...

Didn't do so well at this tournament, but not really discouraged from it. Lost to players better and way more consistent than me. Definitely froze a lot physically and mentally. No matches recorded this time unfortunately.

Trying to aim for 6 ratings tournaments this year - first one tomorrow. Think I'm going to get to play a few 1700s, so hopefully I can put things together. Match-wise, I'm feeling more crisp against some of the 1400s in our club.

I've tried to set up my pivot FH on the pendulum to the BH, but I think I probably should focus more on getting the 3rd ball with my BH instead of pivoting wide off the table. I was watching this video on Darko Jorgic's service game and got me to think more about how to set myself up for the...

My coach gets me to do a few footwork drills each week, and then I get some of my practice partners to drill that with me. Nothing with the cross step though. I think you're right about the serve to thirdball practice. We've been focusing on mechanics for the past 6 months, and I have someone...

The pivot is more inconsistent. Sometimes I stay with my hips away from the table, sometimes I can get the spacing I need for a 3rd ball attack. The footwork definitely loses me points the more matches I play, so I do more backhand serves. Better players just move me around everywhere on my...

Played a good bit of practice matches this week, and one big component that I'm having trouble with is getting into position after playing my pendulum serve. When I get more fatigued, I definitely stay in one place. Thinking to serve starting more into the middle and develop my backhand serve...

WTT introducing innovative ways of streaming. Have to wait for Harimoto to scream to know if he won the point or not. It's Timo time once again

Timo in the finals!

The EJ bug is going to hit me, but for shirts. Xiom and Li-Ning have some of the coolest shirts around.

I was watching Table 2 yesterday and it was scrambling, but not as bad as today. The next Contender event is in Doha and it's literally less than 2 days away. Hope it can get fixed soon.

Watching the stream for Ma Long vs Lin Gaoyuan is like watching the scrambled channels on cable back in the day.

I was actually doing the towel whips for the pendulum last night when you posted to get some understanding on how to position my elbow and it makes more sense to me physically now doing some bed serves. I'll keep practicing with that video you posted for backspin.

A bit late, but here's the video of my practicing some serves. Tried to do mostly backspin, but I always manage to put some sidespin on it:
