Today getting wake up, with a stupid fixed idea, that I need to buy FZD alc with D09c both sides and I did it. I’m more innerforce type guy, but after 2 hours today session, coach have say that i should keep playing with it. And a good student should listen to his sensei, so I guess, I’ll keep...

I really like D80, maybe even more than D05. In some aspects it’s easier to play. The reason is D80 allows you to lazy spin sometimes in rally, when you out of position. But it have definitely more bouncing nature than D05, it’s more catapults with less effort, it feels softer. It plays easier...

I have already told in some treads, that team that i play in is advanced amateurs, but many people here pointed that this quote not making any sense, bc advanced amateurs in China is so good, so my “advanced amateur” didn’t describe anything. And there is no even one percent of a chance, that...

It’s not an easy job, it should cost more. I know, cuz I was full time coach myself. I always trying to complement my coach with some $ tips, and a gifts because he invest so much time in my TT growth

Yeah, I know. One young guy, from our team, went to London for studying, and he is saying that he was finishing his TT story because of a few things: road to the TT club from his university takes about 1,5-2 hours in one side, and the price of private coaching is about 40-50$ for an hour. So he...

For 35$ per month I have unlimited amount of visiting, and playing in the club. There is cheaper version, like 20$ for 8 times trainings in a month. Also you can rent a table to play and pay just for an hour

As I already told, the prices on a private coaching here in Ukraine, and for really good one, are much cheaper than other countries. Many good coaches are flying away, for this reason, the son of my coach, national level player, are now living and coaching in Dubai. That’s why guys like Kou Lei...

My coach teach me to rather spin this medium high lobs to the backhand side - gives me more stability, smashing this one’s gives flatten trajectory and often leads to missing the table. High lobs that’s the other story, it’s okay to just smash them

Yeah, when I upsetting those guys. It’s their underestimating, plus I take advantage on it immediately. Usually they didn’t expect that serves from an amateur would have so much spin, making three/four sloppy receives - that gives me a good opportunity to attack - and till they get to conclusion...

There is a different levels of an amateur. Amateurs that playing for decades, almost can’t spin the ball at all, have a weird looking technique. Almost never doing drills, playing with one or two friends only. There is an amateurs like me, that playing with coach 20 hours a week, playing...

Thanks a lot. My coach is the one, that all about the spin, all his students have pretty clean topspin technique. And I’m not the best in drilling - but I have an advantage over them in power, amount of spin in my strokes and serving. There are guys in our team that are drilling like a national...

The main thing why I post, that most people here telling me, that there is no way, that someone could learn basics of TT in a year, and getting some kind of an decent amateur level. Which I did, and I often getting myself a wins over much more experienced players, league players with rating. So...

So why I should stay low for the lobbing balls? There is no need to it. They should be played differently. The sense of an advice like "you should mostly low" almost not giving any sense. And you didn't even watched the video, but pointed something - that makes again no sense at all. But I get...

Did you watch all the video or just some part of it? there were balls for forehand too, and not the one. But accent was on backhand opening, so forehand where only occasionally used - for reaction. I did all kind of forehands for the first 1.5 hours hours straight, before this exercise. And...

Little bit of a backhand third/fifth ball openers with some continuous rally. This one is more close to the game situation or nah?

Have added few more drills if someone is interested :)

Im started from both sides Rakza Z with 2.0 sponge, that helps me to get proper understanding on how to spin the ball. But after 1,5 months I get two D09c in 2.1 and the feeling on the ball, and stability/spin became even better. So if it works for me, maybe it will work for someone else too...

I didn't know that there is actual difference between my own topic and the section that you mentioned. I have a coach to correct my technique and mistakes that leading me to losing a points or a game, but I can upload next time to video footage safe thread, or just upload here and will ask for...
