  1. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    In this vid from the start timestamp, JYS is talking about how to use the leg and knee/waist bend/turn to leverage the power... and how to use the wrist and bat start position and swing plane to make BH topspin. This technique is for off the table. There is no way to play this shot at the table...
  2. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    TRUE. This is why I think your coach is a reasonable dude. Not many coaches can show adults what happens in terms they can understand... since many coaches do not understand their own biomechanics.
  3. How to choose long pips?

    I think in your vid you thoughtfully considered what tasks require which performance characteristics... which guide one towards one rubber/sponge or another.
  4. How to choose long pips?

    Hi Diego, OOAK forum is also another great place for pips focused discussion. Glad you chose pips play as your way to play. Everything should not be the same style and way for our sport. The newer balls increasingly nudge everyone to play a similar offensive game. Of course there are many...

    Hi @dingyibvs you will enjoy any and all BH hitting/spinning when I am around for sure. The BH Battle is a drill where both players can play only BH shots cross court BH to BH. It can get intense and very interesting. One day I would like to run into your adult coach and shake his hand for he...

    I would take some as offered, maybe the Tuesday at Citrus heights is always 10 ft short of that stuff. maybe use it at Auburn league. Those two places could use it. Auburn's is real old and JZ Citrus Hts is kinda short. The way the Russian Church multipurpose room is built, one can only line up...
  7. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Bought sheets of Tibhar Aurus for $27 a sheet after discount at tabletennis11.com What a bomb of a rubber that does everything with ease.
  8. Common TT injuries

    @Sticky , Do NOT use an OFF+ bat + H3 and become an H3 power pumper player. You will ruin your shoulder in no time flat and keep tearing it up like newspaper in a public toilet stall where toilet paper ran out. To get a proper result from that setup, you need very fast bat speed and insane...

    The last few years said Pastor has been very diligent to shut it all down and get everyone to put stuff up and leave at a reasonable time like 10 or 10:30 PM.
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Turns out for the time being we are gunna play Mondays only at 1st Slavic. Better than zero and in older days it was just Monday anyway. On hte other side of the coins, one of the Pastors play and if he is with his brother and not forced to leave the building at a reasonable time, that Pastor...

    It is a Church and it is not the way to MMA style Goon Squad rear naked choke your azz out and demand the cash. Still, people should feel compelled to contribute a proportional amount to fund things. Often, too many of the same people over donate to make this up. I buy things periodically and...

  13. Need more advices on how to further improve forehand stroke

    Basic FH hit and FH Loop vids... 4 yrs old, but very relevant. Coach Lee Chul Seung and Takkyu show some amateur players basics and nuances. Hit the CC button for subs, the ENG subs are serviceable.
  14. Need Recommendation and suggestion for someone new to sport!

    The only non-H3 rubber i tried not named H3 that felt worth half a shyt was Yinhe Jupiter. Decent pace and control for a cheep rubber. The rubbers I use cost me $27 USD each and last forever, like for MONTHS, they are easily a value. I could play 3x a week and they could last literally the...
  15. Need advice: how to transform qualities from training to match play

    Oh, and blahness articulation of being relaxed throughout the long process is uber important.
  16. Need advice: how to transform qualities from training to match play

    Good. blahness is on the road to showing the OP that there is a progression... starts with habits/performance in training, then casual play, then less important match play like league or challenge matches, then in important sanctioned tourney play. These are all different and distinct. Stuff...
  17. Backhand topspin tutorials are useless

    OP should know that there are so many different BH shots with different approaches to striking... but physics are physics. one must be in position and have leverage. One must be biomechanically efficient. One must generate kinetic energy with stance and explosion, how to amplify it, and deliver...

    Does it sound like my cappucino had old, bitter beans in it? Nope, just keeping it 100 and real.

    I have very often chided who is the majority of amateur TT players in my area for their strong and wrong adherence to playing TT for the absolute minimum to zero amount of money expended. Such players wear the same white $2 undershirt they bought in 2007, and their FH ruber might still be from...

    There is a backup place... an ex-military post gym fieldhouse where a player invested $1000 usd of hiz own cah to stash two tables there to be available when Church TT is not happening or players get the itch on days not Mon or Fri... This same nice player is making an effort to purchase...
