The way he was touching his back, and the fact that he wasn't willing to pick up any balls... Something tells me his back was hurting but his team made him play anyway.

So for a long time now my coach has been trying very hard to get me to un-cock my wrist. I had always thought the reason I had it the way I do is because of the way I hold the paddle. While this may be slightly the case we have actually found out the real reason why. When I un-cock my wrist, I...

Wish there was more new on this. Mizutani is my favorite player and hate to see him play a match like this.

Hello, welcome to the forum! Always good to see new members that love table tennis!

Sorry if I offended :rolleyes:

I've fiddled with penhold, I'm sure everyone has. I don't think it made me any better though. I think spending that time working on your shakehand stroke would have been a better use of time. I've also fiddled with Long Pip chopping but I think that was a mistake too.

Table tennis 11 is best in my opinion because it has specials where you buy a certain amount and you get a discount for it. If you're finding a butterfly product for cheap then it's fake. Retailers aren't allowed to sell butterfly products cheaper or else butterfly drops them.

Oh my bad, I misinterpreted a bit of your post, thank's for clarifying! Didn't realize we agreed on this. I noticed more of a change in the style among everyone with the larger ball than the change in ESN rubbers. My coach tells me one of the biggest reasons to end with the shorter stroke is...

The european bh loop ends with an extended follow through while the chinese bh loop ends more forward instead of to your right. But yes, there are european players that end forward instead of to the right, while there are also some chinese that use a big swing. But this is what they're talking...

if you're leaning back enough for you to notice it, it's not a good thing. you want to be leaning forward otherwise you lose power and control. the pro's moreso go up with it as they push up with their legs. But they always stay leaned forward on the shot.

I have a problem where if a ball is coming more quickly to my backhand I overly straighten and actually lean backwards a bit. It's more a flinch than anything.

Watch Fan zhendong's backhand warming up at around 30 seconds. He goes from hunched to slightly upwards every time. I'm assuming this is what he's talking about. But backwards is definitely bad.

it's a bad thing to lean back on the backhand stroke. you lose power by doing so. However, If you mean you're slightly hunched over and then you straighten up a bit, that is more correct for a backhand loop. Think of it the same way you'd think of doing a forehand loop. Would leaning back help...

The last one that he didn't like

Such a good post for him, but it's too long. You give him too many options to find something he doesn't like in it so he'll ignore the rest of the post when he finds something.

the reason I haven't been attacked is because I haven't openly agreed or disagreed with him.

Very little talk about actual table tennis. It's mostly a flame war, people are calling each other names and getting angry. It's bringing everybody down. Anybody who joins in on this thread now will get attacked in some way.

Why is this thread still open.

I guess this was a lie... Don't let your anger issues cause you to keep attacking people. Ok, we can agree that public opinion is often wrong. It's debatebly easy to sway crowds. As they say, a person is smart, people are stupid. Mob mentality. Etc. That being said, it's also not rational to...
