  1. Is it possible to improve with only robot training?

    :LOL: Yes that's possible!;)
  2. Is it possible to improve with only robot training?

    No, game is not correct either. ;) You are going to get your stroke under control though or even improve (maybe) if it is good. If you learn the stroke incorrectly and nobody points it out to you, it's not going to be anything in the long run. You are not going to improve your game at all...
  3. Is it possible to improve with only robot training?

    No one wrote that you could not improve with a robot. The TS asked if you could only get higher with a robot. No, you can't. You have to be coached and you will have to have an opponent to learn how to play matches and all that goes with it. Sure, you can learn and/or improve your strokes via a...
  4. For those over 30yo, what could you have done differently?

    I played with this for many years, on both knees. Until they gave me a new left knee at the age of 49 and a new one for the other side 1.5 years later.
  5. Major League TT

    That's exactly what I mean. Most players who play WTT have sky-high expenses. I don't think sponsors and/or national organizations can continue to finance this, not to mention the organizers. If you see what the spectator numbers were in the Feeder of Olomouc...Too much from everything. I see in...
  6. Major League TT

    As far as I know, the Chicago player almost never plays WTT tournaments, only competition in 5 different countries. What I already wondered in my first contribution, I don't know if all those playing options, both competition and WTT, benefit the players. "All about the money" but I fear more...
  7. I wanna play with the big boys!

    Perseverance can help a lot in this. But not everyone will or can muster this, depends a lot on your character of course. But that can also be said about the equipment player. Why didn't he continue to get better with double inverted rubbers? I find even more interesting to find out. ;)
  8. I wanna play with the big boys!

    Oh but suddenly you change the level (2700 vs 1500) that is irrelevant. I have seen several very good players (top 50 players = 2500/2700) struggle against many players of a much lower level because they were playing with technical material. They usually won in the end anyway but with a lot of...
  9. I wanna play with the big boys!

    There is indeed truth in what you write but it always doesn't have to be that way. I am well past 60+ now and have never played with technical equipment. However, I started playing table tennis fairly late (16 years old). But I did have a good and solid training in club and apprenticeships...
  10. Major League TT

    Sure they do, I clarify for a moment, at least 1 player from the Chicago team played in 5 different (international)/national clubs/teams last season, competing at the highest level and in some he even played champion in that particular country.
  11. Major League TT

    What we are seeing in the last two years is no longer an evolution but rather becoming a revolution in table tennis. I wonder if this is for the benefit of players, organisers and audiences. The TT calendar is already overcrowded. I see players playing in 5-6 different national leagues. Is this...
  12. I wanna play with the big boys!

    1°-Against LP? for sure yes, and that is against all the logic of science. Look at the effect coming back from an inverted vs LP. 😆 2°-I fully agree with that. Or, even easier, just ban it. It does not help anyone!!!:ROFLMAO:
  13. I wanna play with the big boys!

    Indeed, so it is! Very many annoyances back in the day when we were growing. Not so much because they played with technical equipment but because they had to put (almost) no effort into it because I knew that if they played them with regular inverted rubbers, they had no chance against me. I had...
  14. Advice to improve my game.

    Nice, but do you have glue on your feet?;) Bend your body forward more on your FH and also BH. Make yourself smaller. I like your back hand.
  15. I wanna play with the big boys!

    I have a few observations/questions: -they are young -girls only? No young boys? -why they started with pips? -technically limited BH-movements > reasons to go to pips? -I don't think they promote pips to young players in Western Europe. They will always try to convince young players to play...

    Strong BH block/attack-player!...:love:
  18. I wanna play with the big boys!

    Now I'm completely surprised!🤨 The calculation of how ratings work in another country therefore has to do with levels. Now that you have explained this to me it is clear to me that ratings of 2000-2200 (for example) in your country is proportional to ratings in Belgium of 1500-1700 and we are...
