He did play in the bundesliga with mediocre success. First year he was 1-5 and second year he was 6-8. So he wasn't really a top bundesliga player but to win any games in the bundesliga you must be really good and definitely a lot better than local players. He is now 35 and past his prime...

Thanks for your answer next level I have one more question: how much rotated should the body be on the forehand at contact and in finish? Ma long here seems to have the left shoulder still in front at contact and finishes the turn after contact https://youtu.be/jig_5SLN2Eo On the other...

I think he is demonstrating a power loop, he probably could hit a slow, high arc loop too if he needed to. He looks like an impressive player to me who plays at a high level, I think internationally the trend goes towards faster power loops instead of super spinny loops but that doesn't mean...

You actually asked on page 1 on page if SP could be an option for you so you didn't specify that you didn't like SP. I also think it isn't very polite of you to tell people that want to give advice to you that it isn't useful and you don't want to hear xy, you are not paying for advice here so...

@james z Aren't yuta muramatsu and hou yingchao successful using a short pip to chop? They aren't classic defenders but they chop with SP and both are really good. I don't know anything about chopping but some seem to make SP work.

Is there maybe a governing body of the league that you can contact? Maybe they have some kind of office that you can call or email.

I have the robot. It kinda works but it shoots no spin, takes a long time between shots and sometimes is a bit erratic. I would say it is fine for some playing around but it is not ideal to learn strokes if you don't have some kind of technique already.

If it is a friendly match of course you can refuse but in a league match you would need to complain to the umpire and he decides whether the rubber is legal or not. If it is a low league with no umpire there might be some kind of ruling who functions as the umpire like for example the team...

That looks great. Btw I read that hinoki can be susceptible to breaking. Wouldn't a 7mm single ply blade be more susceptible to breaking than a 10mm one?

I read you should start with slow blade and slow rubber and then upgrade rubber first and then finally to a faster blade when you master the fast rubber. I have not tried fast blade and slow rubber though but i started with a fast blade and regretted it.

So more the second rather than the first turn in this video? https://youtube.com/shorts/HKEdAZv5KbQ?feature=share

I see what you mean now, watched a loop on a higher ball and he was much more upright. I guess I was just trying to create maximum arc loops.

So no loop really has pure north to south topspin?

I actually noticed that hitting the ball slightly on the outside with a bit of side spin makes looping a bit easier for me but I ditched that because I thought it would be better to learn a clean "12 to 6" spin loop first.

I will try to keep upper body more upright and bend knees more

I have a bucket but it was used as phone tripod:) Regarding upper body essentially keep upper body vertical (side to side direction - of course there should be some forward lean) and just use knee and hip flexion to get down? it seems some pros have some side bend like Dima sometimes but...

Tried some self toss hitting, flat hitting and loop. Flat hitting was more like down smash though, I guess it was tossed a bit too high. I think for some reason I'm using the shoulder too much again although I think some of the lifting comes from tilting my shoulder axis and raising the upper...

Thanks. I would guess open up too much on the hip turn could make it harder to recover than if you keep the hips straight and just move the arm?

A quick question on the BH: should there also be hip rotation and weight shift like in the FH or does the motion come purely from the elbow and forearm?
