  1. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    Paul is 34 and just might Be ready to make way for new blood. Liam just looks a bit lacking in drive.
  2. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    I agree re the Nationals - so much missed opportunity to get,people engaged in such an exciting sport. They just don’t make it easy to engage or have a good time, and the crowds are so quiet and uncomfortable when all I want to do is cheer and shout for someone. They need to hire someone who...
  3. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    Feels to me that Pitch & Drinkhall are fading and may not be around much longer. Jarvis definitely close to breaking out.
  4. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    Some good youngsters coming up that will hopefully challenge them, but re international competition you’re right that we need to lift our game.
  5. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    Nope - both really looking good (Pitch and Drinkhall 2-0 up in doubles though vs Jarvis and McBeath)
  6. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    Drinkhall 4-0
  7. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    Very true! He’s been in a run of poor form and then boom - lifetime performance to give us a repeat of last years final when Pitch and Drinkhall were absent
  8. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    Walker beats Pitchford 4-2 in first semi - huge upset!
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Mixed doubles was won here yesterday by Mollie Patterson and her Nigerian partner Ismaila Akindiya - taking out Pitchford and Ho!
  10. UK Nationals 2023 finals long weekend

    It’s been a great day today on site - some fantastic matches. Semi’s and finals tomorrow look promising.
  11. What’s NOT good with Rozena?

    My experience with Rozena is certainly not that it is short of spin - you may have to work a little harder for it but it’s there.

    I think that I am caught a little because I am giving up some points in order to play the style of game and shots I aspire to play - so by way of an example, I am trying to avoid pushing on my BH and instead opening up on anything half long or longer. In the short term this is costing me points...

    Same league as we are division 1 - so one new team coming up.
  14. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Yes, it's a fairly tall order but I felt I could have done better this season if I had been less tight and anxious in the matches (This was my first season back after re-starting TT in December '21) Be sure to share your progress next season!

    Yep, that's it
  16. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Yes - I have set a goal of 75%+ for next season. I am also time constrained for playing at weekends (apart from some practice in my shed) so bigger tournaments are fairly rare for me. I am playing in the upcoming vets tournament in Bristol but really only to get more pressure match practice as I...

    Great result NDH, that's a fantastic performance and a good win rate! My team has finished our 15 matches and 6 teams and we are currently top but likely to be knocked off that spot as other top team is only on 11 matches... I played 39 matches but only managed 39% so some work to do for me in...

    Have to agree with NL here - I have followed his advice recently and reverted to all wood (5) and slower rubbers. It’s early days but I feel more confident hitting fuller strokes to generate better spin and so feel more confident I’m moving forwards technically. The interesting thing is my bat...
