Normally you should focus on legs and core strength. Check out peak performance table tennis for the best exercises for these groups of muscles. The rest is conditioning, have your training partner actively coach you. Just a “stay low” whenever you missed a shot because you came up.

I find that playing against long pips is an excellent benchmark for new equipment in relation to your own skill level. With all the rhythm changes and awkward placements. For me it just sounds like you were playing with a paddle you could more easily control. Also probably you gave a lot less...

Yes, to me the answer is training. And applying your training in matches.

The exact reason why the number one deserves to be there

I adapt my strategies to how I feel and to my opponent of course. Try to forget the score

I feel that on the wtt list the person coming in first at the end of the year deserves it. You need to win to gain points. More impressive so if it’s Wang since he got almost no points from the olympics or the Asian championships. Best player of the year for me is Fan no doubt. Lin will have...

There was no round of 32 this time so perfect tournament for him

Everybody feeds everybody. But you chose your training partner and naturally it’s sorted by level.

In France we do multiball as part of our group training but it’s not the trainers that feed

Work with a coach to find the correct form. Definitely do not continue if it hurts unless you have to. You can exercise with elastic bands but again, form needs to be right.

Montpellier was full from day one. All 4500 seats.

Might be true if not for China

Most of these would be testable with an advanced robot. Serving with placement and height restrictions. For exemple you do 50 balls and for every missed ball you substract 1 point from a total. As for your priorities, I would recommend you to film a few matches, preferably rated close...

I have no idea what ttr 1700 would translate into in French ratings. But the summer tournaments I went to, in a rural area, there were players from lowest local leagues up to 5th national level. So semipro. I imagine the niveau would be better in urban areas.

In France we have open tournaments basically everywhere all summer. For official tournaments you would need a license from the federation.

Their balance is very similar. So the step shouldn’t be too hard to handle. With the carbon however you need to work harder, passive play is definitely easier with the Sweden extra.

It’s also about quantity, since wtt I understood that the number of “big” tournaments has increased. This would lead to 2 things. 1. Being dominant in more events requires more players that are dominant. 2. A percentage of a larger number of tournaments is a larger number. So in absolute we...

I would try to figure out why the “old” training methods work less well on the younger generation. And maybe get a mental support team for Wang. On the other hand, a quick glance at the world rankings both men’s and women’s are completely dominated by China. They deliver all 5 Olympic...

I think this is going to move the ittf to change the service rules. One might hope that a change would simplify detection of faulty services.

I feel the list of well named rubbers would be shorter 😅
