I love his stuff, always on point and well articulated

Ok, now I see it - that’s a lot of curve! You’re spot on re my wrist position, which is why I hook the ball a lot and also why I struggle returning reverse spin serves short into my FH… Thanks, going to try some of those today in the shed and will report back :-)

Thanks Brs, those a great ideas and I can see the logic. Can you pls explain this one further as I cant visualise it? stand way behind the table and try to hit a fh ball drop with enough sidespin that it crosses both sidelines on the opposite side of the table with only one bounce.

Thanks NL for the helpful explanation - for me right now I think that achieving the correct swing plane is top priority so as to add consistency to both sides, which is my biggest downfall in point scoring. The drive for swift generation of spin has cost me here and so often the ball will fly...

Thanks - lots to digest here. One more question if I may - part of what drives my shorter / sharper bh stroke is a desire to whip through the ball at impact and create spin, so it appears to be a double edged sword because I seem to stop short. My coach is driving toward smoother less jerky...

Thanks NL, I appreciate the explanation. In short, am I correct in summarising that if I learn to trigger the larger muscle groups in sequence, then the need to over use the smaller ones reduces? Is there any other, complementary approach that helps, such as actually relaxing the smaller...

Hi team :-) I wanted to post in here as it seems to be the right place to continue discussion around improvement (that hopefully be will not be limited to me only) I have come to realise, over the past few months of video analysis and coaching, that probably my biggest issue aside from...

A single layer of Faldo tempo long

I hope it meets your expectations and am keen to hear how the rubbers fare. I will be trying a sheet of T05 (boosted) next as I always liked it on FH and want to compare to D05.

Just circling back after a few weeks and a fair amount of play/matches/practice with the blade. I am enjoying it very much - it seems to offer the best balance of speed, feel and control of any of the blades I have played so far and is a good fit with my D05/T05FX. The larger handle makes a...

Awesome - looks amazing, well done!

I had the same experience with 05FX - loved it on Viscaria and not on HL5. Having tried it on W968 I am back to loving it - it is just the right balance of control and speed for me.

I would pretty much agree with all of your assessment here, having used all of these blades and an HL5x too (much faster in my view than HL5) I wouldn’t however rate Viscaria too fast or jumpy and in fact the FZD is closer to the W968 than any of the other blades (including HL5 and 5x) - it’s...

I’ve been suffering with it for a few months but am now back on top of it. I took a 2 week break and iced it lots before starting to strengthen the tendons - the two things helping me a lot were a “flex bar” to offer negative resistance and also a thick rubber band to put round all fingers /...

I feel maybe it's often a function of me being too close to the table for a deep service return or alternatively another one I find often is I am not far enough across to the BH side for a decent topspin or block and my body is not behind the ball. Either way I am out of optimum position for the...

Yep, you are correct of course - everything in my TT needs to speed up. I have to say that apart from writing myself an aide memoire on my hand, I just seem to get stuck in one position (too central) and forget to move when match playing. The more important the match, the more anxious I am - the...

Thanks for the support LDM - I do use BH to both sides but in this match wanted to move Andy around and stretch him wide on his FH. Serves were limited here as I was trying to stay away from side spin and just use float and back vs the pimples in order to drive a float or top return of serve. I...

Thanks IB - Old Andy P is a tricky competitor and throws only the odd pimple in to a warm up to cause confusion! I hadn't noticed the serve, but in general that is an issue - if I get a punchy push back I am not positioned well and often hit on the retreat so need to remember to trigger a side...

Thanks Der - that made me smile. They are indeed in lock step - no idea how or why that has happened but my shoulder feels it and my FH quality is not where I want it. I will work on separating the two and swinging freely!

Great video, thanks for sharing. Not so simple to achieve but easy to understand..
