Hi, I've watched all videos suggested and reviewed the feedback by everyone and here are a few points I got: 1. There are 3 main factors to lift backspin balls: + Racket angle (open) + Swing path (upward) + Swing speed/acceleration They compensate each other. Ex...

I see. I felt like I used a decent amount of wrist but maybe I actually didn't use enough? Let me try to focus on that next time. And it seems I didn't use enough forearm and elbow rotation either? Thank you!

Hi @NextLevel , I think I have. :D

Thank everyone for great comments and feedback! They are really helpful not only for my progress but for my understanding of the game too. @pingpongpaddy @blahness I think I see the different in my strokes and theirs. I will put it into practice to see how it goes. Thank you for the great...

@Metaxa @ben1229 Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I didn't realize my body is that straight up till watching the video, will work on that next time.

Hi Everyone, I had my first formal coaching section with a coach (USATT certified, 2100s player) last weekend. He played with me a few times before and he liked my technique overall. He mentioned a few things I need to improve, such as using more legs and body rotation (as pointed out by many...

Thank everyone for many helpful feedback! Regarding the forehand and weight transfer, do my forehands at @ 1:43 and @ 2:27 in the video look ok? Should I do more of those? @NextLevel : I went to Trolley Car last weekend and plan to go to Princeton soon. Many people at my club gonthere too but i...

Thanks, @Tony's Table Tennis and @NextLevel, for the comments! I play at my club 4 times a week, 2-3 hours each. I have access to a basic ball machine at another location where I work on technique the other 2-3 days. I like to find a practice partner but most people at my club only play match...

I've been working on positioning and forehand based on several comments here. Please let me know if it gets any better and if I am on the right track. I myself feel more active to incoming balls instead of just reacting. I am more aware of my position and my opponent's. I can counter-attack...

Thanks a lot for great advices, @pingpongpaddy @Tony's Table Tennis @Doum ! I often hit with partners who have worse techniques so I thought mine are good. I will carefully re-evaluate and find a coach to learn those basics the correct way.

@JJ Ng :"When you are stuck playing forehand to forehand and backhand to backhand during practice, you (or everyone) will have the tendency to be just "planted" there". This is exactly why I react passively and late to many balls (as pointed out by @ander999 ). I am forcing myself to move back...

Thank everyone for great feedback and encouragement! I will carefully check and work on each of them. @turbozed I had to cut the clip manually but it is easy and fast @ben1229 I didn't work on my short game much yet because it seems more effective with long push against people around my level...

I started playing table tennis for almost a year ago. I spent 90% of my time focusing on techniques, practicing different strokes. I moved to NJ recently, couldn't find any partner to practice anymore so I had to join a local club. People often compliment on my techniques but I got crushed...
