I think dan really improved his game, didn't he?

I sand a little on thumb side but a lot on index finger side

I'm not an expert but I think it is important to learn a RPB flat counter drive. That is not a super useful stroke in matches but it will help you to learn passive and active blocking with RPB. Dang qiu does that very well, he can switch between rpb block, rpb active block and topspin on the BH...

Can you show us a picture of your hand gripping your bat?

What is the reason why nobody really ever tried to optimize jpen blades for RPB? I think dang qiu actually tried jpen rpb with a special blade for this for some time but then went to cpen later. What is the disadvantage of jpen for RPB (apart from blade weight and cork on back - but that could...

I think finding coaching will be an issue. Dang's father is a penhold player and was a player and coach in germany so dang had a good PH coach there for his first years. his dad actually wanted to make him a SH player (like his brother who played like second highest division in germany actually...

The big problem is that Chinese women are much better than Chinese men (relatively), especially in the depth department.The top3 chinese men (fzd, wcq and ma long) are very good but the chinese men after them aren't much better than the top euro or japan guys. In china on the other hand you have...

There are some studies on baseball pitching on this and most seem to suggest that baseball hitters can't really see spin rate and spin axis but instead pick up shape of ball flight and also some information from the throwing motion and basically create an image of the kind of spin like that. I...

The robot is 18 dollars from aliexpress, it doesn't have extra gears or spin variations:). Maybe I can get a second one so it feeds twice as quickly ​​​​

They use the h3 nuclear which is boosted with uranium.

Unfortunately the plates are in a semi closed room so it is kinda dark there:). I try to get some lighting next time

Here is a new FH video. I try to use the forearm snap more but I still have trouble relaxing while I hit, not sure why I'm always tense ​​​​​​ https://youtube.com/shorts/g7ZnzVy2ct8?feature=share

I agree, definitely can help to hit lower spin serves. However I feel I need at least the threat of being able to hit a high spin serve with the same motion, if my opponent knows hook serve means mild spin it is easier for him but if he thinks it can be high spin or no/mild spin it makes it...

Is there significant wrist action in the hook serve? I always thought it would be more like a straight "stab" with the lower arm.

Which serve do you prefer to create "outside" side spin? You can use a reverse pendulum or a hook serve to create this spin, so what are the advantages of each? When I still play SH I had a decent (for my low level obviously) reverse pendulum serve but since I went to penhold I don't like it...

Dang qiu is the first european born European champion so that's a pretty cool win for penhold play and one of the greatest young talents in felix lebrun is a penholder too. Do you think those two guys will revive the penhold play in china a bit? Not saying they will go back to ph now but I'm...

Of Course at an older age your body can't do as much anymore but depending on your health you might not be able to bend your knees all the way but still maybe a little bit of hip and trunk rotation into your shot which is better than just arming it. You also could try to become a short pips...

Timo also just recovered from a broken rib and wasn't able to train very much. Of course injuries piling up are probably also related to his age, he has intensely trained for like 30 years now that will wear down a body.

I was playing with a friend recently in a public table tennis facility and tables there are rather close next to each other (maybe 3-4 meters of space between tables). Then just for fun we played diagonally across two tables from my side of the table to the opposing side of the other table...

Very nice. One tip that helped me that I saw was to lean slightly to the right (and go very low of course with the head when playing the flick more from the middle and kinda inside out it to the opponents bh (I'm a lefty too). Saw that tip in a video by some Korean guy which I think der echte...
