It can be de-motivating. Maybe it's not possible for you, but one way to get around this is to stop playing matches for a little while when you start training with the coach. If you have someone or a group that you can do exercises with, then you lower the risk of going back to your old...

Buy it from Aliexpress, or from tabletennis11.

I used to criticize myself a lot during matches. That didn't make me play better, and it was less fun for me, and probably for my opponent also. So I do two things. If I miss a receive, or a block or something that in theory should be easy, I always say Nice serve! or Good spin! Whatever...

+1 to what Lazer and Dominikk85 said: if you didn't play worse at the beginning it would be a sign that nothing was changing about your game. And you are paying the coach to change how you play, right? So at first you will play worse because change is hard. One other thing that can happen...

Rozena is Butterfly's more controlled tenergy alternative.

One club I visit does a round robin with three or four groups of five or six players in each. Then from week to week they do. promotion and relegation. So the top two players in groups two and three move up a group, and the bottom two players in groups one and two move down a group. That...

This may be too obvious, but finding a blade you really like helps. If you can settle on a blade and use it for a few years then any other blade you try will feel kind of wrong. And if you borrow someone else's bat at a club don't just hit with it for five minutes. You will do great because...

First comment: the metal net is awesome. Love the chimes sound when you hit it. Are you using the same grip in both videos. I know it's penhold, but the position looked different. Might just be the angle. Anyway, you need to be able to play both strokes with the same grip. Knowing...

I used 2x tenergy for six years and never had any problems with them shrinking after being glued. ESN pre-boosted maybe. But if that was the problem I would just switch to tenergy rather than do this elaborate procedure.

This is a good question. Also, does how much you play matter? If the booster normally wears off in six weeks, is that the same if yu play every day versus once a week?

You dominated him pretty thoroughly so it's hard to find many errors. Your backhand swing is big, not to say kreanga-like. That's not necessarily bad, but I can imagine it doesn't leave you enough time vs faster players. Do you have a smaller stroke you can use with different rubber, that just...

I think instead of a ban for zeio, a more constructive punishment for the whole community would involve him doing some penance. Or that's the old Catholic term, modern sociological term would be community service. So Carl, or Dan, whoever, please leave zeio unbanned, but sentence him to...

There isn't really. Hurricane 9 has been approved on the LARC for about ten years, but nobody has ever seen one in the wild.

More important, is the Hurricane 9 P purple or pink?

This thread is fun already. Christmas cheer to everyone who posted videos. I put two match videos below. The gray shirt is me. The league one is from March 2019, the tournament is September 2021. In between I took a 15 month Covid break from TT, and also changed my FH rubber from fastarc...

If it were me I'd be playing with this combo you already had in mind: Primorac Japan with the Vega Asia DF (BH) and the Vega Pro (FH). If I wanted two setups to fool around with I would probably step away from the Fextra, and put the AK47s on the virtuoso off -. I have played with a...

That everything I learned training without a coach would take 100x as long to un-learn with a coach.

It sounds like there is a group of you playing there. "Our coach ..." If that is true then taking some time to learn to feed each other multiball could be a lot better [also cheaper] than a robot. It's not that hard to learn to feed basic multiball. And seeing the ball come from a real bat...

Videos of members playing matches is some of the most entertaining and best TTD content, right up there with the pro tournament threads. Anything that would make more people feel safe to post their video would be awesome. Is particularly aggressive moderation a possibility for a player video...

MOG singlehandedly disproves your first statement above. As to your second statement, consider the possibility that people might be against this because it emphasizes by professionalization the very least valuable content on TTD. What exactly is your ability to recommend specific equipment to...
