I'm sure it helps, more time to have aha moments, more time to experiment, more likely to build better technique. Especially if you are heavily exposed to it and allowed to experiment and taught/shown how to spin yourself. Getting that right from an early age with good players around you that...

NL, what you're saying about multiball supports my experience. It's also why I think a lot of junior players struggle against players with more experience and feeling, even though they are doing a lot of things right technically. Just by chance I've had the opposite experience of that...

It's a guessing game to give advice on how OP can get from 1300-1500 without a video. Can only give general advice, don't think it will do that much in reality unless you're really motivated. @Tony's Table Tennis I hope you stay on the forum, you post a lot of useful content and it's good to...

Man that was an exciting match. Was Berg aware a bet was made against him before the match?

I have practiced I think twice now since the season ended. Lots of life stuff in the way, injury etc. My old training partner Nicky has been back over the summer. Finally a reunion. He hasn't practiced at all during his studies so he was a bit rusty at the start, but we soon enough got some...

Since English isn't his first language it isn't impossible that he could mean missing the net by hitting the ball into the net. I've seen something similar before.

I don't know if anyone has seen it, but the guy replied to someone's comment asking about this.

No, this isn't true. And when I did play league it was just for fun as well, playing with a bunch of friends. I don't really enjoy competing. But I do enjoy hitting a table tennis ball on the table, no matter what circumstance and it's even more fun if done with friends or some nice teammates.

A few of my friends and former teammates decided to not play league this season. We are only playing for fun. I've struggled with some injuries that has gotten worse with play. So I play only because I really enjoy and have fun hitting the ball on the table, it's pure fun for me and is the...

Several years ago I had this wrapping idea as well, but I thought about it a bit differently, similar to I think how Timo Boll explained it. Not sure how much the idea has helped, but I believe it made a difference. But it was this: It's easier to go from open and somewhere on the path/way to...

You are bending the knees, which is good. You can try to bend more from the hips which will push your butt out, then push off so you use your legs to drive the movement. That's what I've been trying to aim more for, but it's easier said than done.

That's the conclusion I've come to as well. If you bend at the hip/stick your butt out you will be forced to lean forward, no matter where your weight is on your feet. Though it's more comfortable to have it more balanced, but maybe slightly more towards the front of the foot. That's where it...

Yeah I kind of agree with blahness. These days I understand the advice to stay on the toes and balls of the feet. But a long time ago I'd take that advice pretty literally and since all strokes require more or less pushing from the entire foot or and often from the heel, it made it impossible...

Lol, I think this is relatively common. Many of us have seen this with basement level players who are the best among their friends etc and talk up their game, then show up at a club and get humbled. When people have only played in a limited environment and have success there it's easy to think...

He played for eslöv in the pro league for many years. For some reason at one time he had to play in the lower division to be able to play in the top division. So, myself and my teammate got to play him in a competitive league match.. but he played at 1% of his ability. Standing straight and...

Oh I'd flick it, but it's more of this shove action. I have gotten better at it because one of my teammates often uses a short topspin punch serve. I have no choice but to flick. It's just that it's not very aggressive, I just place it back. I think I have PTSD from Xu Hui's flick at 6.25...

I can probably count on one or two hands the amount of time I've practiced FH flip. Because the type of ball I'd FH flip is one where my opponent would misread the serve and pop the ball up slightly. And in a drill they would know what's happening. Hard to "accidentally" pop up the ball. So it...

I have been on some interesting parts of the spectrum when it comes to spin. First two or so years I played with a racket that couldn't produce spin because it had no grip. So I played flat or unorthodox shots a lot, like this: But after that I was definitely in the category of brushing...

To add to what you said, even if 100% accurate and useful advice is given, it's still hard to implement and often takes a long time to solidify and make improvement happen. Sometimes there's some low hanging fruit that can make some quick improvement, but it still usually takes time. I'm more...

For only having played a bit more than a year, especially as an adult, you must've made a lot of progress, nice job. Looks like you started out in a good training environment. You have a lot of potential to improve more as well. It took me a few years to even get a proper racket that could spin...
