Lets put this discussion in a different thread. I was in south Germany in a trainingscamp and played to players up to 2200TTR. Also from the past years I have participated I could easily compare my RC rating to their TTR. It has been always 200TTR. Last time it was end of December and I almost...

The thing is I struggle more when it has side topspin. Because you cant just hit at the back of the ball it would fly out. So you have to hit the ball closer to 1 / 12 o clock if we would look at the ball from the side. Ok I will keep that in mind

How does that help with premove? If anything you would just have to premove faster?

I don´t understand what you mean. Is this when practising Drills you mean? If so yes I agree I am a victim of that. But my goal is not training anticipation (falkenberg drill) it´s footwork. Just get the legs moving after each shot and memorize how to stay and how to hit those balls. I think I...

Trust me he is. As you said you just saw him playing against me. Checked his history aswell. He beats a 1750RC!! 3-0 and his limit seems to be 1770RC. He would be in the upper half in the upper League. where he played last season but he switched his club and this club doesn´t have a higher team...

No I agree. My footwork is not there yet to move in and flick with my BH on my FH. Atleast not against those kind of serves. The only question is. Is the quality of my return really that good if I loop those balls that I will be ahead in the really. I feel like he is just gonna block whereever...

I have been doing the big Falkenberg drill. But I can only last 2-3minutes before I go K.O (need to take a break then) and thats it maybe I should do more of those in one session? Other drills I do serve and return practise. Usually I serve shot they push long I loop and then continue. But...

I think it´s more thats its my technique. I still loop to my eye level. But upwards I think. I can go eye level or lower but the stroke has to go more forwards to eye level compared to the normal topspin stroke. So what happens is closer to the table and if the ball is fast it goes out. In...

could you show me the examples? because no matter the spin I tend to hit the ball from the right side I think. But at the heat of the moment I dont really think about hitting the ball at the right or at the backside. For me it´s not the sidespin that gives me the problem (its not going out to...

I disagree. He lost once in this league and it was against a 1386±39 player while he was 1731±70 at that time and lost 60! RC Points while the upsetting player only gained 20RC Points. Anyway the player who beat him was him: He just slaps with his FH. Points don´t mean much at or around this...

I have a hard time reading how much topspin the ball has. Its so unpredictable for me. It´s not loaded with heavy topspin like those open ups from some players against long backspin balls for example. But still has some a bit. Also his technique doesn´t match what the ball has for me atleast...

Yeah I guess you are right. I just had to check his serve length again. am still unsure if I should really loop this ball. Its super slow just a little sidespin I think? but I know from a previous encounter he can do the same serve shorter and with much more backspin sidespin. Do I just focus...

when you said my counter was placed very comfortable on his side, where should I have countered? paralllel would have been even more error prone since I normally never do counters. Diagonal I have more margin of error because of the table length. and I am far from the level to pick a point to...

It´s a mental thing that I think just bringing the ball back already wins me lots of points. But in the clip I selected I did use more than 80%. As you said I don´t do it as much as I would like to. First is because my recover is bad, so why go for fast paced game when I will set myself under...

I can move around. It´s not like I am lazy (in some ways I am though) it´s just 90% of the time I don´t know where to move?? Like where I should be for the next ball and by the time I see the ball I am already too late to hit a good stroke except he plays exactly where my hit spot is.. In...

What don´t you like about it? No never. Boosting is the reason I never tried H3 rubbers. My brother asked me to buy the W968 as my birthday gift. Not sure if thats too much for a racket I never tested before. But I think I saw people saying that its jsut a bit slower than my current HL5 and...

How do you avoid the sidespin if you contact it at the back? When the righty does this spin I have more confidence looping it compared to the leftys tomahawk or rights backhand serve I know what you mean by recover. But I don´t think I can achieve that ever without proper coaching and training...

You are right. All I tried especially on return was to keep my push short so he won´t attack me. But that didn´t work out. I don´t know if you watched the entire game but in the first set I tried to loop those balls with my backhand (2nd set aswell) didn´t work out at all. Since I havent...

I actually just loop to win the point straight away depending on what I think where he is weaker FH or BH. I don´t really think about what anglees I give him or which angles I need to cover after my stroke. I always think he can play anywhere on the table so I am mostly not ready for the next...

How can I simulate that I shouldn´t force too much on the first loop? I don´t want to think during my swing then I would do even more mistakes. How can I get out of the thought in my brain thinking that if I loop too slow /weak that my opponent gonna make me look like a dumbass and smash it...
