  2. FH Pivot Technique

    Ah, musclepong... I think he is learning a lot and he has great coaches, but it will take him time to get to a point where he truly appreciates the complexity of what he is doing. The mental part of table tennis is very important, at the basic level, you have to be able to read the play and...
  3. FH Pivot Technique

    1. You decide based on your training. Your training should have shown you what is possible with the serve and pivot combinations and then you use this to make your decision. That said, the kinds of returns you expect to get will influence that decision to pivot and the kinds of returns you...
  4. Two questions bordering the ethical approach to competitive table tennis

    The thing about league/team events is that even your individual decisions are about the team. If you are playing single matches outside a team structure like tournament or round robin, think for yourself whatever you are comfortable with. But if you are playing team competition, whatever the...

  6. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    There was a time a couple of years ago when Ma Long and Wang Chuqin made the final of the event and after Wang won, they had to travel to the next event on tour and both lost in the first match they played. Some people just blamed it on tiredness but a coach and friend argued it had a lot to do...

  8. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Innova didn't last though. Zyre would need the durability of an oak tree to justify this, or at least the performance of boosted hurricane and durability of Dignics 05.

    Stocks for Tenergy 19 and 05 just went up.
  10. It is not the player's job to call lets

    Why do we have this insanity during matches in the US where players have to call lets during points or accept the point being played out? Let's almost always disturb you the more advanced you get as a player as you are sensitive to tracking all the balls in your sensory/perceptory range. And...

    So our last match of the day and my last match of the event is against a team with three players. I am up against their worst player in first match and I struggle with some of his cheap trick illegal serves. The placements are annoying (extremely short forehand with float, punch backspin where...

    So on to match 2. We are playing a team from Austin TX, led by the coach who is a former African women's singles champion now retired from club league and international competition and coaching full time in the USA. Two juniors were with her, one a lefty girl and the other a lefty boy. First...

    All good things come to an end, some unfortunately earlier than others. I am traveling back to TX this morning at 6am. A but disappointed with my Saturday performance. But I have to br honest, playing once a week and being overweight is not going to enable me to compete sharply with good...

    So the last match was to see whether we could get into division 3. I went to the bathroom and came back late and was slotted into the C spot so my first match was third and against the player they slotted into the Z spot. My teammate played a chopper who played incredible matches against the...
