I know that for example in France a normal club with say 200 adherents is able to pay a trainer full time.
At our club (100 players) À player playing in the 5th division could ask for about 200€ a month depending on his or her implication in the club.
So if he would combine that with...
Generally there is 2 definitions of professional.
1 Being paid a living wage for playing table tennis
2 earning a living wage from table tennis
The first one is crazy difficult, the second one is a numbers game. Given the amount of players, it should be relatively easy to make a living out...
I play a Tibhar EL-P 43 degree tensor on BH of the same blade works quite well, good for active play, very decent control. Still need to figure out how to block very spinny loops with it though
If somebody has seen videos this explicit with the exercises parametered and demonstration of correct form (whatever the language), I would be interested.
So I tried his exercises, it’s hard! it’s incredible to me how easy he makes it look when he does these exercises. His lateral movement and recovery speed are very impressive.
Also clearly have been too nice for myself when programming sequences (in al fairness I probably hit much less hard...
You could try and contact a few local clubs to have a knock. If you play and control à Viscaria im pretty sure there’s plenty of people who’d love to spar every now and then.
There’s no golden rule as to whether or not you should fall back. Is matter of preference. However for beginners most common is to learn to stay at the table to control the game. Placement over power

I really like this Channel, the quality of the content is amazing. Helps me really think about technique from a different perspective.
One concept she explained was about matching your backswing speed with the incoming ball speed. Always start your backswing when the ball passes the net. I...
This thread is already full of great ideas! I already used quite a few of them in my own sessions, both when I was the strong player and when I was the weaker player.
When I train with weaker opponents, in match play, I always focus on 2 things. First two touches and intentions.
So first two...
I have tried both and definitely prefer slow blade plus fast rubbers. (Well what was considered fast like 10 years ago (G1 and evolution elp).
I do however agree that it is a clear tradeoff between killshots and rallying. It’s much harder to overpower the opponent so you need placement and...
I think the blade you are using is way above your skill level. And also quite heavy coming in at 105 grammes.
If you insist on using it you could go with either :
beginner tensors to develop your strokes and not have something too fast Nitakku Factive comes to mind
Soft tensors, they're...
In the latest podcast table tennis daily about spin sight they tell that there’s no measurable difference between big and small halls.
The tables however make a big difference.
