Less than 1 month away bump.

The shadow strokes I've seen I wouldn't consider quite good but everyone's opinion on what's good is different. So now is your only problem in your game feel? +2

Here's the thing arch. A LOT of us started coming to the forum's thinking we knew or know more than we truly understand. We thought we could put a lot of spin on the ball and were getting things down pretty well. So I see where you're coming from thinking that you're finally getting a good...

I would actually recommend having your blocking partner block whatever ball you can give them consistently. If you can't consistently give the same amount of spin then you shouldn't be trying to force more into it. Hit the table in the same spot. Once you can do this consistently and they're...

Poor Archosaur. When you're playing ANY player, regardless of level, and you're practicing something with them, they WILL be able to adjust and block more and more consistently. If you've ever had reps with a high level player you'd think that you're pretty damn good because you can place it on...

It could be other personality traits causing them to play the way they do too. Not just an aggressive person playing aggressive. Imagine a psychologist or a shrink for instance. They could be a player who tries to find someones weakness, they could be the type of player that is a data collector...

Maybe not, I guess I applied his post to me. When I am more energetic I tense up more because my energy causes excitement

"Having the "basics" developed well enough to actually play the game will take around 3 years, give or take a couple months of focused training. Don't expect to get it in a year. I'm sure you've seen the "expert in a year" documentation. of the player getting coached every day and focused on...

I guess it depends on how you can get your body relaxed. I believe the fastest you can make your motion with a relaxed stroke is where you want it to be. If you're incapable of making your stroke fast without tensing up then you probably shouldn't be making your stroke fast. A tensed stroke...

You don't have all the answers except this one ;]. There will always be questions. A great player once told me, every game you play, you learn something new. Even if you played poorly, you learned something in that loss and you are now a better player than you were 15 minutes ago. There's a...

Really? I'd love to come to the east coast, our 1900 level players are pretty strong here's a video of a penholder we have. He got the second game I believe, and deuce the third. First game was poor we can skip that ;)

@der_echte I like this most recent post. It's true, the better you get the less you ask questions as to "why didn't that go over the way I wanted" At my level, I've noticed a lot of player's don't quite have the fundamentals and adaptability that I have. So when I play someone around my level...

Until, I've noticed that my play style was very stable, playing safe shots, yet a very fun game. consistently looping from both wings but never that aggressively, just taking control of the table. Playing a bit of a fishing more often than I should simply because the lobs, long slow loopsish LOW...

Yes, I've noticed a lot of new players tend to hit the ball hard with extremely little consistency. These players, I've noticed are easily excitable. If these players are some of the few that continue to play table tennis is work hard to improve, I usually see a point in which their stroke...

Would you say playing an aggressive style for someone with a passive personality would feel unnatural? It's playing a way that your personality isn't comfortable with. Maybe there is no correlation between the two and a player desynchronizes with their emotion while playing.

I'd like to know what you all think. Do you think there's a direct correlation between a person's personality and their play-style? Possibly share about yourself or other's you've seen where you feel this is or isn't the case. Just a general discussion I've been thinking about.

pretty sure he meant pay not play. bridge tolls= money you have to pay to get through toll booth to cross the bridge to the next state edit: I'm an idiot didn't realize you were making a joke ^.^

As of more recently I've become more balanced, neither a backhand or forehand dominant player. It really depends on my mood against a player. I'm told when I'm playing more of a forehand game I'm scary to play against, but then I've also been told that when I'm playing a more backhand dominant...

5 out of 5 rating for Rasant Grip Well this is truly a great rubber. It has a similar feel to Tibhar evolution FX-P except the topsheet of rasant grip has much more grip than fxp. The sponge is very porous and very soft which allows a developing player to really feel the impact and vibrations...

Haven't read responses sorry. But if you're struggling to loop nospin balls, loosen your grip and slow down. You're not supposed to be able to loop a no-spin ball extremely aggressively. Theres a reason the dead ball serve is becoming so popular. If it's below net height with almost no spin...
