It's a small world, my driving instructor went to the same high school as him. She said everyone in class adored him.

I always feel like smaller venues are faster and spinnier, does anyone else feel that? When I played local league in the UK I played in so many strange venues.. once in a barn where there were cows and we played in the room or attic above/next to them. I remember picking the ball up when it...

Agreed 100%. People often seem to equate trick type stuff to being a good player or that they can just do that stuff because they are good players. Someone could practice that stuff and seem very impressive but not be that good at the table.. and vice versa. A pro who's never practiced those...

Yeah he seems like an incredible player, I would love to see him live. When I was visiting Spårvägen in Stockholm one of the guys told me he's very humble too. One of them just went up to him while he was practicing serves and asked if he could try receiving, which he was fine with.

Pretty sure Aida uses Mark V on both sides.. correct me if I'm wrong.

Haha, complete opposite to me now! I used to love playing matches in the UK because that's all I did, never did drills until a year and a half ago. But now that I get to do it I love exhausting myself in practice, I just need more practice partners who enjoy it as much as I do ;) I played in...

At least knowing is a start for the stuff I need to work on. It's quite nice knowing what I need to do more and less of, but doing it consistently is a different story. It's the opposite for me right now. I get to practice quite a lot but league matches are infrequent. I miss playing local...

I am exactly the same.. I just see all the things I could do better, especially lately as I've become more aware of what I should be doing differently. I'm naturally too hard on myself.

I'm chuckling to myself imagining someone in doubles running past the opponent on the other side about to receive serve. Surely that can't be allowed ;)

Cheers for your input. I've become too much of a perfectionist since I started filming.. now I'm looking at the details of everything lol. :rolleyes: It will be a long hard (but fun) road to make the changes I want to make.

Thanks for your suggestions Takkyu. My FH is the strongest part of my game. It's not that I don't like it, it's that I was unsure if I was getting enough forward torso rotation which I've heard has been an issue. Maybe the lack of that also makes me look a bit tense as I stop myself from...

Yes what you say makes sense.. I think I overthink things too much. At the end of the day it's up to me to figure it out. Maybe I should be happy with my FH rotation and practice this bh to fh transition. Unfortunately the good coach is only through online haha. We have a coach at our club but...

Thank you for such a detailed comment Lula :), very kind to take the time to give so much feedback, I appreciate it. I think it will be difficult to change a lot of things and I don't want to do that. I think I get good power for the most part.. I'm not sure I can get much more than what I got...

Sorry I should have clarified I'm the guy closest to the camera. I will let him know haha :), your advice is appreciated regardless!

I recorded my FH against block earlier as there's one concern I've had some comments on which is that I don't rotate my torso forward enough. I think my FH's against block in this video felt good but I still wonder if I should rotate slightly more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZknQ_zKWpY As...

Which video is it? There are many on of them. I wonder if the main issue is timing. I do not wait enough for the ball and rush the shot, same as a few of my backhands (like Lula said). I think on my flips I can get my wrist all the way back. I have some problems against different spins. When...

Yes I'm in Malmö. We have a few Fredriks here but I've not heard of him. Thank you for your comments. In the second video if you watch towards the end I think I'm using more forearm and power. I think it will be difficult for me to use more forearm than that. I shall keep experimenting next...

Thank you NL. Yes you are right. I'm still getting used to using body on BH and need to figuring out how much/little of it to use depending on how far I am from the table. Interesting about using the same stroke, that's how I should imagine it and let my subconsciousness take care of the swing...

I remembered I posted a few backhands in this thread a bit over 2 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxhDTgY1bLw 00-0.33 and 0.50 - 1.00 I've been trying to work on my backhand lately and found it interesting to compare what my backhand is like now compared to then...

Amazing rallies and this camera angle is perfect.
