There are so many of these players around, after reading your section about her super-powers, the older lady from a club that I played at years ago quickly came to my mind. She has been playing for long time so she knows where to block etc to get the point but mobility is a big issue for her...

Yeah you are right.. I really haven't been playing much.. I seem to either be playing very rarely or bouts of lots of tt, then just lately, infrequently. Yeah I am still winning my matches, but I can imagine if my forehand rubber were fresh, the spin I get on it would be so much stronger.

I am actually in the process of organising a local tt comp! It is all very exciting and it will be amazing when it all comes together. I do have a question and am interested to see what you guys would think I should do. My rubbers are old (at least 1 year old), and I am inclined to change...

As much as what your coach said is true, I realised that fitness is so important for TT. For me previously, I have been bugged by the knee issue for yearssss, I know I want that footwork, but I can't afford to as I will be having knee swelling and what not for days after a session if I do that...

Hi NDH, that is a very nice post despite its length :) I particularly agree with the part where you mention that you gain significantly more when you have seen someone's video / know their level as there are just things that ppl won't know unless they have been there and 'done that' themselves...

I am keen to see an upset! But realistically, I think ML would probably win 4-2 due to his ability to adapt to players and match experience.

I had an unexpected session of table tennis today. I was not planning to go as today is 'doubles' and about 50-60 mainly elderlies go. But I got a msg from the captain (#2) that he was able to go, so I quickly changed and went as I won't mind having a hit as it is rare that I get to play tt...

Had my weekly dose of table tennis today! The club captain messaged me that he couldn't make it, so I was initially a bit disappointed but I still went as that is my only table tennis opportunity and playing is better than not! I first played with an elderly man, who has a handicap of -1. So...

This post can't come at a better timing.. I just went to gym and now waiting for dinner 😋

There are many approaches to backspin serve to your bh side. If they are short serves, you can try push short (left, right, centre), push long (left, right, centre), or attempt the flick. I believe practice will improve your consistency, but on the times that you did not get it, think about...

Safe drive, and all the best for your games. Let us know how you go!

Sorry to hear buddy. Injuries really suck. RICE, NSAIDs, physio. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

I'm not sure if such a group exists in TTD, I am assuming you mean chatting in voice with people about table tennis in general? I think this is more an online forum where people posts about table tennis rather than verbally chat about it.

Played my first TT session since the injury tonight. I didn't want to go full force, so probably about 80% what I would normally do. There were moments where I felt something in the right chest, but no 'sharp' pain. I still manage to beat all the top players there, but the matches became...

No I have not been exercising it. My pain threshold is normally pretty good, but the pain after is not something that I can just ignore. When I am examining patients in my job and I am getting pain when I am simply pressing on their abdomen, that is not right. I do try to keep my chest moving...

I have not been able to play TT for coming to nearly 2 weeks due to my chest injury. I thought it was getting better, but now it doesn't seem to (or it might be very very slowly) and it was still giving me pain issues, especially when I roll in my bed at night, and if I flex my elbow while my...

Sounds like he is an unorthodox blocker.. If he was giving you consistent side spin, it might be more helpful for your training. But if it is all random, perhaps you would find it helpful to be familarised with the type of return when you play him in a game situation.

What do you use to reshape your racket? What was the reason for wanting to cut down on the size?

I think it would depend how long your name is.. Some people's full name is really long, then T. Boll format would be more succinct. If both first and last name is short, then either would be fine.
