I like this, I never practice serves, maybe about 10-20 minutes of practicing them throughout my table tennis career. But if I ever did practice them I would try and do a lot of balls quickly in an attempt to get as many reps as possible. Building nerves by trying to get a certain amount in a...

I might be missing something. Did you answer his question yet? I haven't seen a higher level player only do fast shots before.

Zealot has been out for quite some time hasn't it? I used one for a few months. http://nexyusa.com/collections/frontpage/products/zealot

Great find in the rules! But I'm looking for USATT rules, I should have specified, I'll never have an ITTF rating

Oh yes, I agree that not doing it would simply be better. But it's a reaction saying it, hard to stop unless I practice messing up on purpose and then focus on not saying it. What a waste of practice time this would be. Putting my focus toward anything else would surely be better. I just wanted...

Grunting on a serve is distracting to you? On my backhand serves I stomp my foot pretty hard as just part of my motion. I've been in some gymnasiums where it's actually pretty loud and players say it's pretty distracting.

ovtcharov's grunts are during his stroke though, me saying "oh shit" is right before the opponents shot.

I know you can't talk in a rally. ESPECIALLY during your opponents stroke because it could distract them. But what if you mishit the ball, causing a weak return, are you then allowed to say something like "oh crap" if it's really just a reaction to your own shot?

on the yellow sponge I can't see pips going into the sponge. why is that

Man all your clubs look so nice! We just got the contract signed by our facility to cough up 7000 USD to upgrade our tables for an upcoming tournament. They were happy to oblige since the table tennis members at this facility bring in over 1000 USD per month.

white sponge on h3 I haven't seen, do you have a link? I'm really curious to see this.

they really aren't bad at all.

Do you do more pendulum serves in games, or do you ever switch to backhand serves? For me when I do a pendulum(ish) serve, I start with my right foot behind me, toss the ball, and then turn my body and move my right foot forward at the same time as I make contact with the ball. This gets me in...

Yup. Ended that discussion quick. Thank's NL Question: What happens when your side top curves enough so the axis that it's spinning on and the trajectory it's going are parallel? At this point would you just consider it topspin? And since it isn't the initial trajectory that the ball was...

Okay, so we won't classify your hook as a corkspin because it clearly hooks through the air. But could we agree that your hook has some attributes that are similar? The way your ball kicks when it hits the table is similar to the way a topspin ball would kick, but it kick a bit sideways with...

When I was at Seemiller's training camp, we went over service, and service return. He said that best way of learning to return serves better is to simply have better serves yourself. Part of it was because "as they give you good returns, you'll understand better what works against better serves"...

Also when I thought this through I was imagining the red X and blue Z were swapped places. My bad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand what you're saying, when I get back in town I'll record someone I play with frequently that had a shoulder issue and can't do a regular topspin loop. He can only do the type of corkspin you're explaining where it SEEMS like it's all corkspin. To what degree would you consider a...

Okay, now instead of throwing a foot ball, think of it as trying to bend a soccer ball on a free kick. When you want it to bend downward and to the left you would hit the top,right side of the ball. This causes the ball to bend in mid air but as well kick forward a bit when it hits the...
