You had a lot of long rallies which is what made it fun to watch. Definitely being patient and spinning, and then making a smart shot selection when to play the fh smash on a high ball. Real good stuff. For sure you will end up being able to attack on both sides. What I meant to say is that...

That was a fun and impressive match. Shame about the fuzzy focus, but still lots of good stuff. Your backhand was solid playing a very bh-dominant style. You moved well, defense was good, attitude and body language very positive, forehand smash solid. Serve and receive gave you few...

TSP swat is a quality blade and that's a great price. You can always change later if you want. Maybe get the 729 FX for one side and a euro rubber on the other side? The Vega intro is much more than the 729, but it's not an expensive rubber. That way you get to try both kinds right away...

I only watched this match. Good serving as usual, you won some free points that way. Your fh has a big advantage. You won most of your points there. Your opponent's fh is worse than his bh. You made some really nice backhands, 6 or 8 of them. But your percentage was low, and probably because of...

This problem is very easy to fix. Prioritize spin. Instead of wanting to hit a winner past someone, want them to block your loops off the end over and over. Your forum motto says Spin Wins! It's true. You will develop good feeling faster. And once you become way too spinny for an opponent...

This is only my personal experience so take it for that. Better players may have other ideas. ... clarify what you mean by "symmetrical around the contact point?" I failed geometry and had to take it twice, so those words don't really come out to what I wanted to say. The size of the...

I think by finishing the circle NL means from ready position back to ready position. That's the circle part, it ends where it starts. No doubt NL will correct if I misunderstood. Don't be afraid of following through too far. If that happens you would manage it by taking a smaller backswing...

usually it is, yes. And single-side jpen players are typically very quick to see the ball coming to their pocket, move over, and smack the hell out of a fh either down the line or wide off the side. Like they have to be very quick, otherwise it's impossible to play with only one side. That...

LOL, it was a compliment to your game and no criticism. Wrighty, about "My only question is how to “contain” this sort of larger, looser swing in terms of compact recovery?" Imo the answer to that is more about timing than technique. If you don't have precise timing then your stroke has to...

Hi Wrighty, nice footage. Your forehand is all driven from your shoulder. The upper arm moves a lot as NL used to say. This has a few negative effects. Your finish is super high and you often can't follow up with a second attack because the recovery is long. Without your body in it the...

Jpen is not a style you see that often but it's good fun to play against. Basically you have to make him move off his bh corner. If you let a jpen player stay there and play all forehands you will lose. That means giving them one chance with their forehand, unfortunately. What skills do you...

I have never played with medium pips, but playing against them is my *least* favorite by far. First off hardly anybody uses them, so I don't get enough experience to get used to them. 100x more people use either long or short pips as medium. About the same as anti. But I know what anti does...

Pure trolling, go **** yourself.

Yes, I was wondering if the OP is another alias for this alfort, or kanyaewest or whatever. Seems like a fake post to allow the trolling to start, since the OP never came back into their own thread. If there is a real OP I would write a longer reply since I switched to SP after six years...

LDM7, at 1200 level the simplest thing to do is assume all the serves are long and wait for them to come off the table. If more than two or three serves bounce twice on the table then your opponent has proved he can serve short so you have to think about it. Make him prove it, more than once...

I thought LGY was already in the tournament? It looks like JWJ would be the next one in by WR. A nice break for him and for the Korean fans to have one player in each draw.

If Dima could be WR 1 for a month for sure Truls can be 3, and great for him. Looking at the list okay WCQ for sure should be higher. But Truls would have a fair chance vs any of the others. So why not have him up there?

I always serve pendulum side-under to the short middle in my first four serves, unless playing vs long pips in which case sidespin is out. It's my highest-quality spin serve. I want them to push it long to my backhand so I can open with the pips. Most people do that. Some people backhand...

table tennis is a pretty small world to go and steal a one-off custom blade. somebody will probably see it before too long.
