Arguably our metro area (Sacramento) best player plays this style (JZ of Folsom TT) he just won a pile of medals at 2023 US Open. JZ uses OX LP on BH on a shakehand bat with short pips FH. He takes the ball off the bounce with great touch and troubles many players... these players rarely make...

In the same vid, Haruka says that you can get your wrist and arm very tired very quickly trying to flip like the pros. Why? The pros really cock that wrist full back and explode with wrist. This takes a lot of trained muscle on arm, wrist, and tricep - many amateurs will tire out pretty quickly...

Hakura has these faster straight and hybrid flips too, where there is more conventional use of the arm and wrist to power the shot with the elbow in front set leverage. It was this vid i posted in your thread where she discusses how to be safe with BH banana flip using the fingers... it is very...

Hakura sets her leverage with a step in and elbow in front... she is talking about a very safe banana flip. Point tip of bat down, step in, get elbow in front, allow ball to drop, then squeeze away. can be done with only a squeeze for slower and safe one, can involve more to get more spin and a...

Maybe try holding it so elbow is at side of belly with a few inches of space. You simply just need to get better at discerning impact. The better you get ar reading what happened at impact, judge where ball is going when with what speed, spina and vector... and in the first one foot after...

very good amateur player Haruka, who is a Japanese player in Korea and speaks great Korean... she advocates using fingers to squeeze the bat before impact and actually make a flip simply by squeezing the bat... and later add some wrist and lower arm. She articulates very well and shows both bad...

Prety much i would agree with what gordon is saying about theory in general. I feel these concepts are pretty sound. I do not however prefer tacky rubber at all, but that is me and no TT player is required to play like Der_Echte... I would prefer it that way anyway, with the new ball more and...

I frequently advocate the first starting point to FH counter topspin balls is to SHORTEN the SWING and LOOSEN the HAND. (and go for less power) Go for maybe 30 percent power at first tops. EDIT: Do this and allow ball to come into strike zone. Just focus on that - letting ball come to strike...

There are two easy ways to go down the line (short side of table to opponent's FH line if he is a RH player and you are too) with power and not sacrifice consistency. (that does not involve crazy and dangerous contortion of wrist or shoulder) (that does not involve taking a step to change...

For the price of ONE sheet of a Diginiski rubber, you could buy THREE tripods with cell phone adapter. That would make ur vids much more viewable and easier for loser commenters like me to see the action and provide more effective feedback.

We need USA leading expert on tacky H3, Sergey Tsos to comment on this. Until then, what Carl articulated works super. if you clean a tacky rubber, then moisten it slightly, then place plain plastic cover on the topsheet, then leave it overnight... that puppy will be tackier than OEM for sure.

Hi @OvrChkn A few things jump out at me right away. **** Your ready position has your arm and bat WAY in front of your body. **** This makes it longer in terms of time and space to make your backswing/prep for your shots. **** You seem to not discern well where the slow long balls are going...

Wait until you have to do the explosive footwork movement and explosive shot making combo drills... ... step in BH short receive, next BH loop, then pivot and FH topspin, block goes down FH line and you cross-step to get that and loop, then block goes to BH, you cross-step to get that, then...

That was for myself... I must have purchased at least 40 Donic uniforms in 2023 for other players as well. They see a good looking uniform at $25 before lettering that looks better than the $60 BTY ones and want one, so I order from tabletennis11.com then more players see them and want them. I...

I think in 2023, I bought and professionally lettered 8 or 9 different Donic uniform jerseys, along with two tracksuit tops for my team members. There is just something about every player on your team or your self wearing professionally lettered unforms with your name and nation on the back...

Yes, play safe deep. Too short gives wild angles and you then behind on everything in the rat race.

I began TT in my 40s and made it to a level maybe 10% or less get to... so it is entirely possible to play to a level that only 30% make.... and I suspect your C+ level is a level 80% of players make. Certainly possible, even if starting out from zero.

I am an equal opportunity dude. The last year my FH rubber has been a Donic rubber and 80 percent of my match uniforms professionally lettered have been Donic. Aurus actually performs and lasts in the manner I describe, That is shytty for anyone selling equipment as such want short lived...
