First of all, this is my coach, not training partner, and this is his training bat, so who cares what colors rubbers are - it’s made for practice, feeding multi-ball etc. He can block very good, he is master of sport level, and this is can be about from 2400 to 2700 in usatt, he has master of...

It dependents a lot on a level of a receiver, for example, my coach can send the ball to whatever place of the table that he wants - no matter how much side spin in it. And many good players from our team, with proper ball feeling can do it quite good. But most amateurs yes - they getting...

That’s the easiest way, coach is know what he is talking about You need to be physical, if you want to play strong attack no matter what spin it is. But underspin/no spin is the easiest way to learning, how to gain points on a mixing of a serves

My favourite serves is sidespin ones, I like them cause I can get higher ball back and attack it quickly. Plus it really is, that many good players just not able to handle them for some reason. That's how I win most of the "better players with more experience" So serve variety is good. But if...

I have both of them. Franziska is slower little bit, and more flexy, it has more of a woody feeling. If you looking for more linear blade, I don't think that PFZLC is the one, because of the flex of this blade ball sometimes catapults like crazy (even the blade is not fast) and is rather soft...

I think that on an higher level ability to execute good first move after your serve is more important, than variety of it. I know a guy, he is about 2050-2100 he is serving mostly pendulum long heavy under mixing backhand and forehand placement, and if you not looping it with stability, and...

I like how he serving, shirt and compact movement - I find it more natural to me, than serve moves with a higher amplitude. l guess the amount of strength in the forearms, allows me to do such short moves, with decent amount of spin

Practice can be different, there is a lot of guys, that training for decades and doing the same mistakes all over again. But, I guess, they just turn off their brain, and kinda meditate by sending balls to each other, rather trying to make an improvement on something. They sometimes doing drill...

As for my experience D05 takes a lot of time to get used to it, for a few months with a pretty big volume of training, and a closed angle so much, that its not perfectly suited for my wrist (I had a compression fracture of my wrist from boxing). After D05 it takes 15 minutes to get used to D80...

I have the opposite effect, since from beginning, many of my serves opponents lands out of the table or into the net. I used to just stand in one place and staring at, does the rally will start at all. Bet when I grow up in level, amount of returning serves is increased, plus when our team has...

And I also will add, for better recovery, you should understand such obvious things as - if you serving heavy and fast sidespin/under spin - it’s better to make a step back rather then regular near the table ready position after the serve. And the opposite - if you serve short, anticipate short...

Tack of D09c is barely noticeable even out of the box, it almost didn’t hold the ball at all when it’s new. Some sheets are better in this, some little worse, bit it’s all a question of a milliseconds. So after the month or two it barely holds it, or didn’t hold it at all. But it’s not...

Yeah, I have played with D80 on Apolonia backhand (I find it as one of the most controllable blade) and it’s was pretty good, not much power needed to access the spin and speed. So it often helps when pressured far from the table, and you surprised opp by short and spiny shot, when they already...

Yes, I have mentioned it too. This is a good sign for a guy, that we and a coach admitting, plus he was able to make a few openings during the game. And when he played for the first year, he barely hold the racket correctly, it was wobbled like fruit jelly. So for next year he is making a big...

Same story here. Started from both sides Rakza Z, then both sides D09c - that’s how I developing the strokes. Then I have some experiments with D05, D80 on innerforce type of a blades backhand and it’s pretty okay, but I always comes back to D09c. I don’t need super fast backhand I find...

I have absolutely no problem with D09c on a backhand, and other hybrids as well. But I have started my training with it, so I guess it’s a matter of technique, and personal preferences. I don’t know how much hardness it is, about 44 in Japan scale. This is me, multi-balling, plus looping...

Yeah, he will be playing better. He is a really good guy, I wish him all the best. He just needs some time and more practice with the others guys in TT club, not only a bunch of friends. For the serving there is a different strategies, how you can use them - it depends on whom against you...

Hi is typical grown man that learning TT, first year he even can't perform proper topspin, and moving racket weirdly, on the second year - he is able to topspin some, but the power is very low. He is pretty okay on practice - but this matchup is just too much for him. When he just practicing -...

Today was doing multi-ball, and after that few set with another coach student that came to training after me, he is little bit weaker player, even started to play one year before me (but to be fare - two times a week, not 4-6 like me😇) So highlight of the game didn’t show nothing, just what I...
