Hi @dingyibvs given your activities, does not sound like a lack of aerobic fitness to me. Have you considered the possibility that it might be overtraining?

Lots of contributions here using control to mean reducing risk to be more consistent. I have also heard it used in a way that has meaning something like 'applying pressure' and also with a meaning like 'unbalancing your opponent', like controlling your opponent through strategic placement of...

@Dan if I donated 5p for every toilet question, how much would that be?

Not so much otaku as sukebei jiji 😂

Some people would be better at blending into Japanese culture than others ;)

Great stuff whatever the number turns out to be (y) I'm guessing 53,040

With a def blade and anti rubbers, that would be like only a couple of dozen hits wouldn't it? ;)

Compare this: ..to this (Looks very stable and able to transfer weight L-> right and back again in a repeatable and safe way):

Looking at the video around the 7 minute mark... Do you find that your left Achilles is under stress when playing forehand? I wonder if using more pronation and less heel lift is going to result in a safer, more athletic, balanced and powerful position? You have good range of motion in terms of...

Hi @Andrea Jiang Interesting blade... Blades of this composition (Hinoki, carbon, kiri) are generally around 6.8 - 7mm thickness (e.g. Primorac Carbon referred to above). I am wondering how the playing properties of this blade would compare to those thicker types? I expect that it is not as...

They say that there is a gap between stimulus and response. And that you get to choose how you use that gap. For myself, often my go-to single thought is "if he thinks he needs to resort to mind games or underhand tactics, he probably thinks he doesn't have the game to beat me straight". Then I...

What a great atmosphere... go Taiwan! Cheers LLS (fan of Lin Yun-ju and Chuang Chih-yuan)

I was able to match up the two screen shots I took by matching the different colour panels on the wall: The moving (blurred) hand is about to release the ball. His hand moves in a slight arc, but I think it's fair to say that this toss is probably closer to 30 degrees than 60 (its nowhere near...

I find cycling greatly aids my table tennis, particularly as I play an attacking style. Three main benefits are strong legs, cardio and agility gained from post ride stretching.

I used to own a Gergely Tamca 5000. It is a blocking (and looping) monster. It is great for attacking from any distance. It requires regular practice to tame/control attacking shots but I agree that it has a reasonably friendly-to-use short game. After coming back from a long lay-off it was too...

I bought some of the abs balls (#1 in your list). They bounce respectably. However many of them are not quite spherical so they wobble a small amount.

I've had raw chicken in an exclusive restaurant in Japan (I was very nervous, but it was actually OK). I doubt 'Had Raw Chicken' is a name that would gain much traction in the market though ;)

Not even Wang Liqin can curve the ball that much!
